Basic Table of Correspondence
First, a comment. There are many different things associated with magiak such as certain colors, candles, herbs, spells, etc. These are not cast in stone, my friends, nor are they written in blood, at least, not my blood. If something feels right, do it. if it feels wrong, change it. I will get into more detail on the whys and wherefores of this later. And to any that disagree, take your disagreements elsewhere please. I studied from the time I was knee-high to a grasshopper through my grandmother and great-grandmother. I do not want to hear such silliness as, "Oh, that won't work because you mustn't use a blue candle for a love spell." Each practitioner is an individual. One point here: If you absolutely hate red and the spell (I say this loosely here. Will explain more later.) calls for red because it is a lover's spell, let's say, just where do you think you are going to get by using hate in your ritual? I mean, "Geez, I hate that color but dearest Goddess, please send me a new lover." Makes a lot of sense now, doesn't it? Heh...besides that's not the easiest way to get a new lover, but we won't discuss that here. Now on to the basic table.
