Any time you start researching and work towards spell casting and building your own rituals you need to have a basic grounding in correspondences because as we all know ritual is an all-inclusive journey of the five senses, and we need to have certain responses triggered which we do through the incorporation of scent, color, different God/desses, and more.
When you start however, information can be presented to you that might be confusing. What I've done is gone through the tens of correspondence charts I have written down in my books and presented to you the most common uses. However I must tell you that you should always go with what your heart says as opposed to what a book or other people tell you. For instance if Red represents hate to you, using it for a spell to help you love yourself is just not going to work.

These are the majority of colors that you will use. Some things that I have done when I started making my own candles is mixing them to get more specific results, but I have had mixed success. I love streamlining a process. Others love the huge ritual accompanied by several spells. Whatever works for you, the individual is best.
