In picking a candle for your space or spellwork, color is an important consideration! Different colors stimulate different responses in the brain, such as red tones generally making us hungry, or cool tones generally making us calm. Clear blue skies give us a sense of peace and well-being. This is why over half of the population of the world reports having blue as their favorite color! That's not to say that all the other colors of the rainbow don't have important jobs as well, explore the meanings of color with this handy graphic:
These keywords might also assist you in general selection of crystals, chords, flowers, and more! But bear in mind, a balance between all 7 chakras requires exploration of the entire spectrum. Don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone with color, and use color intentionally to deepen aspects of your practice. Please note: these meanings are not necessarily universal, and might vary between different cultures and spiritual practices! For instance, Feng Shui practice has extensive associations between colors used in decor of different spaces and their energetic properties. It may be helpful to compare this list against information from the specific pantheon you are following, and taking some time in your journalling practice to note what resonates most strongly with you and your life experience.
