The Symbolism of Color
When you practice scrying in a black mirror, often you will see clouds of color instead of actual symbols. These clouds can be very powerful ways to receive messages if you know how to read them. The movements or positions of these clouds when scrying can be an indicator of the energies. If the clouds move toward the right, it can mean that your spirit guides or higher powers are at work assisting you. If the clouds are on the left side or moving toward the left, the answers you seek might still be unfolding and under influences that cannot yet be known. If upon asking a specific question the clouds seem to move up and forward, toward you, that is a positive response. If upon asking a question the clouds seem to move downward and away from you, that is a no or negative response.
Sometimes clouds are the most you’ll get when scrying, but with practice some people are able to see images—clouds in the shapes of things or images that are even more clear. If you think you see shapes in the clouds or get stronger visions, the second appendix of scrying symbols might also be helpful. If symbols you see appear in a certain color, that should also be noted and cross-referenced in your interpretations. Always keep in mind that your personal feelings and impressions are very important while interpreting what you see in your scrying mirror.
Black: Black can be a warning to be cautious in the situation you’re seeking an answer to. It also can mean something hidden, endings, or something waning. Black can be a powerful color for protection.
Blue: Peace, honor, and friendship are at hand. Tranquil energies surround the situation; the color can also indicate faith or legal situations.
Green: Growth and abundance have long been associated with green. Finances, money, and harmony with nature are represented by green.
Orange: This color stands for pride, accolades, and self-esteem.
Pink: Romance and matters of the heart. Faithful love or even love of the self.
Purple: Spirituality and strength of psychic growth, mysticism, and enlightenment.
Red: Red can point to courage, willpower, or sexual passion, but it can also be a warning of anger or danger of some kind. Pay attention to how you feel when you see it.
White or Gray: Seeing white or gray clouds is a positive sign for the future and can indicate good luck and the influence of the divine goddess in the situation. A white or gray mist is sometimes the first thing you’ll see, opening the way to visions.
Yellow: Usually indicates intellectual matters, creativity, or optimistic outlooks, but on some occasions yellow can indicate caution.
