Practical Color Magick

by Raymond Buckland

Colors fill your life. Some days you want to wear one color. Other days you prefer a different selection. You prefer one color of car to another. Why? The answer is that colors affect us mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Practical Color Magick by Raymond Buckland gives you everything you need to know so you can consciously use color to affect you and everyone around you. This book is the world's leading guide for using color in magick.

You'll be amazed at how many aspects of your life can be changed by using the secret powers of color. Revealed in this book is how to meditate and how using color to meditate can take you farther than you've ever been. You'll also learn how to use color to develop psychic powers and improve your abilities as a Tarot or crystal ball reader. You'll even learn how to use a pendulum, all with the help of color. Also covered is numerology, how to make and use talismans, and much more.

One of the important parts of this well-researched book is the information on how to use color for healing. You'll discover how to project color and which colors affect various diseases. You'll learn how to charge water with color and use if for healing. You'll learn which colors can help your heart, your organs, your skin. You can use color to assist you in virtually any healing.

One of the problems many people have with magick is that they think it is too expensive. All those wands and altars! Well, the fact is you don't need all of that. You can use very simple tools you've made yourself that use color and result in very powerful magick.

So whatever your goal ― healing abilities, divination, magick, meditation ― you can find ways to enhance your skills with this book. You owe it to yourself to get it.

About the author

Raymond Buckland was a highly influential figure in the development of modern Wicca and the occult in the United States. Born in London, he became interested in the supernatural at an early age and was initiated into the Gardnerian Wiccan tradition in 1963 by Monique Wilson, a high priestess appointed by Gerald Gardner. After emigrating to the U.S. in 1962, Buckland introduced Gardnerian Wicca to the country, founding its first coven in New York in 1964. He later developed his own tradition, Seax-Wica, inspired by Anglo-Saxon paganism, and published The Tree: Complete Book of Saxon Witchcraft to make it accessible to all.
In 1968, he established the first Museum of Witchcraft and Magick in the U.S., which helped normalize and educate the public about Wicca. Over the course of his career, Buckland wrote more than sixty books on Wicca, divination, and the occult, including Witchcraft from the Inside and Buckland’s Complete Book of Witchcraft, both regarded as essential texts in Neopaganism.
Throughout his life, Buckland remained a prolific teacher, writer, and practitioner. He continued to write and teach until his death in 2017, leaving behind a lasting legacy that shaped the spiritual practices of countless Wiccans and Pagans worldwide.

This book is a decent introduction into working with color magick. However, it merely glosses over one of the most commonly applied color magick uses: candle magick. He focuses on energy work, which is important but the name is misleading as it focuses more on types of energy work than color magick or even theory.

Additionally, I wish he had gone more in depth with shades of colors as the nuances can be effective for practitioners. Another thing that I believe is important to note is the cultural appropriation (for instance, some elements of Feng Shui were mentioned while them being Feng Shui was not). This can be misleading to those who are newer to practicing. [Note: I understand that at the time of this being published we weren't speaking about cultural appropriation but that doesn't give us an excuse to not highlight it now.]

A decent little book. I think that the charts are very useful. I wish that this included a glossary of all of the various charts and diagrams for quick reference, but it’s short enough to quickly locate any information.

This book was everything I needed. It’s a great introduction to chromology and using colors to improve your meditation and psychic/Wiccan practice. I feel like all forms of typically practicing magick are totally incomplete without the use of color. Would highly recommend 🌈

This book is terrible but also helpful but also hilarious but also don’t bother reading it? I found it in a free little library and read it while absolutely exhausted after a Megadeth concert. Enjoy! Or don’t- live your life as you see fit.
