When selecting fabrics for magical work, consider both your primary intention and any secondary qualities you want to support. You might choose a single color that matches your purpose or combine colors for layered intentions.
For spell sachets, the color you see most prominently should match your primary goal. For clothing, wear colors that support your daily intentions. In home decoration, use colors to create the energy you want in each space.
Remember that your personal associations with colors matter too. If a color feels wrong to you despite its traditional correspondence, trust your intuition and choose what resonates with your energy.
