The true nature of things
The meaning of colour
The Egyptians believed that the true nature of things was in part revealed by their colours. Amulets were made of specific colours in order to enhance their powers. Black and green are positive, powerful colour, representing growth and regeneration.
The main colours used by the Egyptians were with a few extras added:
Black (kem) was the colour of night, and of death. Black symbolised the underworld, but could also symbolise resurrection, life and fertility. In this respect black was interchangeable symbolically with green. This association probably comes from the fertile black silt of the Nile, deposited in its annual flooding and ensuring the fertility of the land. Egypt itself was known as the black land (kemet). Black was also interchanged with blue for representing the night sky.
Black was associated with funerary deities such as Anubis and Osiris, interchangeably with green in the latter case. In the later Macedonian and Ptolemaic periods black stones were used almost exclusively for magical healing statues. Carbon from soot, charcoal or burnt animal bones was used to produce black.
is also useful in metaphysical work, but at this time it is not pertinent.

Blue (irtiu or khesbedj) was used to represent both the heavens and the waters. Both these symbolisms are those of life and rebirth, the eternal sky and the annual flooding of the Nile, which recalled the primal flood of myths. Blue was also associated with fertility, as the power of the fecundating Nile river, so vital for the crops the ancient Egyptians depended on. As well as being interchangeable with black for the heavens, blue was also interchanged with black as an underworld colour.
Blue was associated with Amun-Ra, and sometimes with Osiris. Ptah, Horus, Khnum, Re-Horakhty and Nuit were all often depicted with blue bodies. The Eye of Horus amulets were most often blue, symbolising their heavenly power. The blue pigment was formed by combining iron and copper oxides with silica and calcium.

Green (wadj) was the colour of growth and of life itself, a life-positive colour seen in the plants that sustained the culture through food, medicine and writing (the papyrus). To do green things was a term used to describe good deeds.
In some early texts the afterlife is referred to as the Field of malachite, and green came to be associated with resurrection through the annual return of the green plants. Osiris as Lord of the Underworld was usually depicted with green skin, and Hathor was also associated with this colour. Copper oxide or malachite was used to make the colour green for artwork.
the color green is found in it’s densest in all nature. it is the balancer between the color vibrations/chakras and creates a feeling of harmony, peace and abundance on the physical as well as etheric planes.the physical heart or cardiac center, the green ray is helpful with grief/heart disturbances, needing connection to the healing powers of the earth and general connectedness to the physical in a balanced manner, it is not recommended to be used solely for financial expectation, like purple, it also aids in emotional fluctuations.

Red (desher) was seen as the colour of blood and fire, and could symbolise life and regeneration. Red also represented the forces of chaos, and dangerous powers outside of man's control. Red was specifically associated with Set, as was red hair. Red also represented the untamed vastness of the desert, and sometimes foreign lands as dangerous places.
Red ink was used to write the hieroglyph for evil, and for the demon or unlucky days. To do red things was to perform evil acts. However, red was also used to depict Re, and the fierce radiance of the sun. Red was used to colour the Eye of Re serpent amulet. The red colour was created by using oxidized iron and red ochre.
this ray is concerned with passionate response and if not balanced with the other spiritual influences can result in an over-bearing energy, red is attached to the lower survival and desire chakra just above the “root” area. the red ray may bolt one out of inertia and worry/fear, the increase of adrenalin and enthusiasm is also affected, should be combined with pink regarding the desire for relationship.

White (hedj or shesep) was the colour of cleanliness, associated with sacredness and ritual purity. Clothing, especially that of the priesthood, was usually shown as white. This is well illustrated by the Instructions of Merikare, where the term wearing white sandals is used to describe being a priest. Many of the sacred objects were made from white alabaster, and many of the sacred animals were also white, such as oxen, cows and hippopotami.
White was also used interchangeably to describe silver, which was sacred to the Moon. The crown of Upper Egypt was known as the White crown, and white was the heraldic colour of southern Egypt. The god Nefertem, whose symbol was the white lotus flower, often had his statues made of silver, to illustrate his link with the colour white. Chalk and gypsum were both used to give a strong white colour.
associated with purity, protection and neutrality, this colour may also be used in accordance with others for added protection and clarity. this ray adds to the general illumination and is also useful “in between” affirmations

Yellow (khenet or kenit) and gold were the colours of the sun, and symbolised eternity and constancy. The ancient Egyptians believed the flesh and bones of the gods were made of gold, and so it was a natural progression to see yellow and gold as sacred colours, and to use gold in the construction of statues of the deities. The Egyptians had several sources of yellow, ochre and imported orpiment (arsenic trisulphide) being the most commonly used.
the yellow ray is an intellectual one, representing the mundane or everyday mind, overburdened individuals with accelerated schedules may benefit by knowing “they will accomplish all” with mental focus, the solar plexus, the organ of the liver (anger-bile storage) and our daily dose of exhaustive errands, this ray helps to balance the “whirl” with assuredness and optimism, jupiter, fast luck and the sun.

BROWN

General Colour correspondences
In magick, colors represent certain energies, goals, people and non-physical beings, such as deities or spiritual forces. For this reason, you should include candles, gemstones, cords and other objects of differing colors in your magick rituals. Colors also often have personal meanings for us. Anytime a person employs the symbolism inherent in colors, they are in effect using magick. Common examples of this can be found in such phrases as "green with envy", "black with rage", "feeling blue", "in the pink" and many more.
The particular symbolism of any given color may vary widely from source to source, and depending upon whether you are burning a candle, knotting a cord, draping an altar or creating a talisman. You will find that many books, such as Buckland?s Practical Candle Burning, offer different suggestions for colors when used in magick. In addition, there are also colors for astrological signs and planetary or elemental magick..
Some magickal systems use "flashing colors" - those that are complimentary, such as red and green - to create an optical illusion that appears to flash when placed together. Such "flashing colors" are said to have great power in attracting the corresponding magickal forces. "Flashing colors" can be used in almost any type of ritual or spell work where you will be using colors, particularly when the visual aspect of the color is important.
The following is only a guide. Experiment with magick and ritual and let your feelings about it determine your color choices.
A balance of all colors; Spiritual enlightenment, cleansing, purity, consecration, healing, truth seeking. Used in Rituals involving lunar energy (represents the Maiden). May be substituted for any color candle.
