I'm amazed at the way color can slot right into our magical workings, matching dozens of different needs to any particular color. In my new book A Rainbow of Spells, you'll understand the importance of color in not only in magic but also how color affects change and harmonizes everyday life. Everything has a color; everywhere we look, there is an associated color. Our skin, our clothes, the interior of our homes, even the color of our bath towels. (There are obviously loads more, too many to mention!) In magical work, color is just as important as crystals, candles, and even herbs. All crystals have a meaning, and the color of that crystal also reinforces its meaning. There is nothing ...
Blue Color MagicI love to use the color blue in my magic—it's the keeper of the peace! Not only does it calm and even banish anger, it also manifests tranquility in the home.

Several years ago, while practicing Yoga, I learned a Nidra (which can be a type of guided meditation—a conscious relaxation practice, sometimes called Yogic Sleep, designed for ultimate rest, health, and well-being.) It is a practice that embraces and explores various states of consciousness, which I incorporated into a rattle practice designed for healing and general well-being. Combined with the intonation of specific sounds related to the chakras, I've found that this method successfully breaks-up negativity around the body. It aligns your physical body, your emotional/mental body, and your spiritual body. Sometimes, you can actually feel this harmonizing of energy as a "click" ...
