Intro to Color Magic

Welcome to Season 18 of Everyday Tarot, where we’ll explore how color connects to tarot archetypes, personal energy, and daily magic.What we explore in this episode:What Color Magic is and how to use it intuitivelyThe traditional planetary and day-of-the-week color correspondencesHow color shows up in tarot symbolismWays to incorporate color into your spiritual and mundane routinesUnderstanding Color MagicColor magic is one of the simplest ways to bring more mindfulness and magic into your daily life. It’s not about elaborate rituals or complicated correspondences—it’s about noticing. The colors you wear, the foods you eat, the candles you light, even the tones in your home all carry energetic signatures. When you choose them with awareness, you begin to weave subtle threads of magic through your every day.Days of the Week CorrespondencesA playful way to incorporate color magic is to match your clothing or rituals to the planetary energy of the day:Sunday - Sun - Yellow/Gold - vitality, confidence, warmthMonday - Moon - White/Silver - intuition, rest, reflectionTuesday - Mars - Red - courage, conflict resolution, momentumWednesday - Mercury - Purple (or Orange) - learning, writing, connectionThursday - Jupiter - Blue - expansion, faith, luckFriday - Venus - Green/Pink - love, pleasure, beauty, magnetismSaturday - Saturn - Black/Charcoal - boundaries, protection, disciplineSimple & Practical Color Magic ApplicationsChoose a color each day that represents how you want to feel. As you repeat this practice, you’ll begin to notice patterns—what colors you crave when you’re tired, joyful, or creative. That awareness itself becomes part of the magic.Get dressed with purpose (scarf, socks, nails, jewelry)Candle color for spell/ritual intentionColor your altar (cloths, flowers, stones)Choose foods and teas by hueGentle home changes bedding, throw pillows, mugsColor in TarotColor is one of the tarot’s most expressive languages.The Rider–Waite–Smith deck, for instance, uses color intentionally: reds for passion and drive, yellows for illumination, blues for truth and reflection. Even small details—like the color of a sky or a cloak—carry layers of meaning.Lunar Color MagicBeyond the cards, even the moon teaches us color magic. Each hue it wears carries its own rhythm and message:Blood Red - transformation, endings, and powerful releaseGolden Yellow - joy, confidence, vitalityBurnt Orange - creativity, change, and renewalWhite - clarity, peace, purificationBlue Moon - rarity, reflection, resetLavender / Purple - intuition, liminality, dreamsBlack / Dark Moon - rest, protection, stillness💭 Today's Tarot Pull:From The Desert Illuminations Tarot by Lindsay D. Williams, I pulled the Ten of Wands (Upright).The Ten of Wands reminds us that even magic can become heavy if we overcommit. Color Magic doesn’t need to be elaborate or exhausting. Let it be a gentle, sensory ritual that supports rather than overwhelms.Reflective prompts on this card:Which color feels restorative to me right now?Where could I invite this hue into my day (body, space, altar)?How can I simplify my magic to make it sustainable and joyful?Ways to Connect & SupportGrab my Queer Coven Spooky 6-card spread here! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out my episode of Kayla Moore’s Connected Pleasure podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, Living by the Body, Dreaming of Land, and Weaving the Future⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fill out my form to Be a Guest on my Podcast!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out my recent New Moon Collective Tarot Reading⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn how to create your own Tarot Cards with collage!  Get my workshop.
