Power in Simplicity
Black is a color of power, of stability, and of simplicity. It is protective, absorbing energies, neutralizing forces, and good for banishings and bindings.
Using Black in Rituals for Wiccans
When paired with white, it represents balance in opposites, the union of opposing forces, the other side of the coin. This is the darkness that defines the light.
While it is a neutral color in that it can be used for nearly any purpose, this color is especially helpful in rituals involving creation, rebirth, karma, death, tests, sacrifice, understanding one’s limits and overcoming obstacles.
It is a color of divination, truth and justice, and lunar magic.
Black is a color that, like white, can be turned to any purpose with little fuss. Also, it’s a great color for a hat.
