Color Symbology

[Dagda Moon~Lily]

Do certain colors pop out at you when you are looking at the cards? What does it mean? Take a look:




White - New ventures and beginnings in love and business. Purity, Purity of intention, inner wisdom.

Black - Letting go, the unknown, old sorrows, regrets or guilt. Possibly problems with older people, Black is also universally associated with strength.

Brown - Practical issues, the home and family, the earth, grounding, application, implementation and production.

Red - Fertility, Love, survival issues, passion and power. Love, lust and trusting ones feelings.

Orange - Identity issues, energy, vitality, spontaneity, life force, personal happiness, partnerships - whether at work or at home.

Yellow - Spirituality, communication, undeveloped potential, career and travel.

Green - Creativity, regeneration, fertility and productivity, matters of the heart, romance and family.

Blue - Wisdom and clarity. Learning and examinations, interviews and matters of principle.

Purple - Leadership and personal power. Wisdom, the soul and spirituality, religious insights of any kind. The colour of Royalty.

Thanks for posting that Dagda! :D

There are colour assosiations in the Tarot Companion if I remember correctly (I still havent had a chance to have a good read of that wonderful book.."soon" she says..)

I often take into account what colours are in my readings ~ often it shows me more whats the querrant is like, wants and expects in life ~ If you do a regular Celtic Cross then just use the colours for the interpretations some interesting issues come up! :D Just like colour therapy!

I totally agree with your explanations and here are some others which I use for tarot and for candle magic
