Blue is identified[认为一致] with the signs of Virgo and Capricorn, the 5th (throat) chakra注2 and the natural sciences. A feeling of youthfulness fills this color. Blue is an excellent hue for peacefulness and profound reflection. Use it for healing, harmony[协调], creativity, communication and resonance[共鸣].

Ivy green represents the emotional aspects, coping with grief, cliffside[悬崖边] ponderings[沉思], and hushed music or silence. Pale green, as in the color of new grass, aids the healing process.

土元素之色，是所有植物的色彩——比如在园艺和草药学方面。绿色呈现出丰饶、繁荣、希望、欢乐、喜悦、生长和改变等不同方面。森林绿代表丰饶、身体、勇气、古典乐和荒野自然音。常春藤绿表现为情感的方面，与伤感、悬崖边的沉思、宁静的音乐或沉寂相衬。淡绿——也就是刚萌发的小草的颜色——能辅助治疗。

It represents the element of air; is the color of divination[预言]. Yellow is associated with mental work; meditation, will, intellect, divination and communication. Another version of gold, yellow is the color of friendship, goodness and faith.

Golden yellow is the color of charm, trust, summer, bright sounds such as children’s laughter, and upbeat[欢乐的] music. Pastel[淡色] yellow tends more towards spring, psychic endeavors[努力] and creativity. Yellow is a terrific color to improve balance, self-esteem[自尊], charisma[感召力], divination and creativity.

代表知识、学问和智慧的色彩。和靛青色一样，灰色与巫术紧密相联，它既不是黑色也不是白色，包含所有色彩，又独立于其他色彩之外。

13. Black 黑色

The color of sorcery[巫术] and the dark arts, relating to constricting, binding and Saturnian energies. As the color of night, black represents foreboding[预兆], fortitude[坚韧], and consistency[坚固性] because of the need to “make it through the darkness.” Black is sometimes used as a protective color for magickal tools—especially handles and wrappings. It is also used when trying to banish[消除] a bad habit, turn negativity, or make drastic[激烈的] life changes.

代表巫术和黑魔法的色彩，与压抑、束缚和土星的能量相关。作为黑夜之色，黑色用来描绘预兆、坚韧、坚固，因为要见到光明需“走出黑暗”。有时黑色也用作魔法工具的保护色——特别是工具的把手和包装。试图去除坏习惯、改变消极态度或作出重大人生改变时也可用黑色来表示。

注1：同“magic”，早期现代英语拼法，下文的“magickal”同“magical”。

注2：查克拉，也译作脉轮或气卦，在印度瑜伽的观念中是指分布于人体各部位、掌管身心运作的能量中枢。印度哲学认为查克拉在身体方面与各器官功能有关；在心理方面则对情感及精神方面都有影响；它还跟色彩有密切的关系，由下而上分别对应彩虹的七种色彩，并进而衍生出色彩疗法，比如蓝——喉轮（throat chakra）、黄——脐轮（solar plexus chakra）、红——海底轮（root chakra）和紫——顶轮（crown chakra）。
