Personal Correspondences

Your own personal associations should always come first when it comes to most things in witchcraft. Colors specifically are a great example of this. Just because we usually associate blue with calmness, doesn't mean you have too. Blue might not be very calming to someone whose mean stepfather always wore a blue jacket. Red might not be very sexy if it's your grandmothers favorite color.

This isn't to say tradition correspondences aren't valid, but you don't have to limit yourself to them. A spell might not go as intended if you're using something that feels like the opposite of your intention. Consider how you feel about certain colors, herbs, etc. beforehand. If rosemary reminds you of a time you felt unsafe, find another herb for your protection spell. If you hate the smell of lavender, it probably wont help calm your anxiety.

The more personal you make your craft, the more effective it will be. Listen to yourself. 💚

Tie bunches of herbs upside down for drying - in somewhere that gets lots of airflow but no direct sunlight. (This is the only time I don’t moan about my dingy, dark hallway!) These ones are giant flat leaf parsley stems.
