Wel...I'm not sure how to react to your post! :D<br />Well, I was a big black clothing fan, and then I became a big colors fan (But when I say colors I mean COLORS! pinks, greens, blues everything!), and now when I finally reached 25 I started wearing black and classic colors again like nudes and grays.. Not sure if it's a matter or fashion or just changing tested but nothing can't compete our staple <a href="http://www.missesdressy.com/little_black_dress.html" rel="nofollow">little black dresses</a>.Rottmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11149338386575693019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850369461143325020.post-57060879447117540332010-08-18T22:21:02.997-07:002010-08-18T22:21:02.997-07:00)O( Bright Blessings Annie American Witch! )O(

We Witches are daughters of the Goddess and Mother Earth ~ Nature ... and Mother Earth does not have much black anywhere ... unless you site onyx or obsidian stones. Wearing the colours of: forest and emerald greens, purples and lavenders, silver, gold, copper, azure and indigo and colbalt blue, maroons, cherry reds, fuscia, purpleish/red, bright orange, bright yellow etc ... colours abounding in nature & in flowers ... all these are magickally and mystically beneficial and healing. Black often worn can completely destroy your health and spirit and well~being on all levels. It is extremely depressing to the immune system and mind and blocks spirituality and psychic ability and healing. The colours you wear are vibrational and affect all levels of your being and your aura and persons who are with you. If black is found in your aura it means that you are dying of cancer or another terminal disease or that you are a criminally psychotic murderous person. Wearing all black too often invokes deep depression, illness and death... it makes ones aura very sick and vulnerable to invasion by negative entities. Black clothes are not "protective" as many Pagans and Witches want to believe. High~Vibrational colours are protective... including white for healing as well as other specific colours. The same is true for choices of colours in candles used in candle magick and spellcraft. Of course we can wear black on Samhain ... dark purple is even better. The only reason black was worn by Witches during nightime Esbats in the olde tymes was to be more hidden from the murderous inquisitors and inquisitions... that is the only reason. Wearing black too often will seep into your aura and can cause misery and bring on death and it will completely prevent healing and all spiritual growth. This does not mean that one cannot wear all black sometimes... but make sure that you are very healthy, high vibrational, happy, positive, giving, compassionate... strong in your meditative and magickal practices ~ if you do wear all black on rare occassions. Even I do! </:-) <br /><br />♥Bountiful Blessed Bees!♥<br /><br />♥)O(♥ ~~~ Magickal Hummingbyrd ~~~ ♥)O(♥Magickal Hummingbyrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08411755458143121858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850369461143325020.post-17755269695082582552010-07-15T11:23:37.664-07:002010-07-15T11:23:37.664-07:00Perceptive, and something I have been noticing for...Perceptive, and something I have been noticing for myself as well. From fifteen to twenty, I don't think I owned an article of clothing that was not black, except for my father's army jacket from the Vietnam war. These days, it's mostly blues and grays. Two of my favorite t-shirts (Ojai Poetry Festival 2005 and a Star-Wars-Themed Powell's Books Shirt) are black, and reserved for weekend use. Yet they do, indeed, feel more like chain mail than cotton, even now, when I put them on. Amazing how clothing color, like smell, can have deep roots in the psyche.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850369461143325020.post-9771911365831282352010-06-25T04:40:51.154-07:002010-06-25T04:40:51.154-07:00As the months have gone by, I've noticed that ...As the months have gone by, I've noticed that my palette is still evolving--it now has quite a bit more white than before and, otherwise, a pretty good distribution through the rainbow. <br /><br /> Will be very curious to hear how it goes for Green Witch in Australia and others!Annie Finchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09874209585098408777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850369461143325020.post-56112513350747010602010-06-21T22:31:08.836-07:002010-06-21T22:31:08.836-07:00I am embracing the non black challenge after readi...I am embracing the non black challenge after reading your black blog.

I have even been worse , wearing a lot of red and black , which I felt was very smart , and easy to accessorize with many combinations ... Until very recently I discovered that according to feng chui principles , it is a catastrophe to wear these two colours together , the red is fire and the black is water , and the two annihilate each other .... And are contradictory ... No wonder I felt I couldn't face my own contradictions ... So I realized , not too much en rouge et noir for me now ;)Mascottbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369896234345122109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850369461143325020.post-34199077803782877182010-06-06T06:19:25.491-07:002010-06-06T06:19:25.491-07:00Annie, I think your comments are very interesting....Annie, I think your comments are very interesting. In general I love wearing black - its so clean. It's like a palette. But I completely know what you mean about haviness; I don't think I'd wear it all the time. <br /><br />In practice, these days I wear a lot of grey, many tones and shades of it from pale grey to charcoal, which I mix up with mauve, taupe, black, and colours like lime green, khaki, maroon, white. It's softer than black, but then it can lack the wonderful definition of black.<br /><br />And apropos what Robin says, well, the light in London doesn't really suit lots of colours. Bright colours quickly look garish here - especially in the tube! I've come to see the black/grey thing as a kind of ergonomic response to environment...Ms Baroquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01836227454899083962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850369461143325020.post-64324436510318148722010-06-02T03:54:14.282-07:002010-06-02T03:54:14.282-07:00You only have to sit on the London tube and see EV...You only have to sit on the London tube and see EVERYONE in black to notice the effect that that most dense of colours has on your energy.....Robin - Erithacus rubeculahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818720941646241403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850369461143325020.post-14161917519499457192010-05-25T06:42:37.346-07:002010-05-25T06:42:37.346-07:00Kudos to you for recognizing the power of color.

It's easy, familiar and a good color to hide in when I'm not feeling social. But I absolutely love color everywhere else in my life. You have inspired me to start purging - but not the great little black dress I snagged this weekend in a girlfriend clothing swap!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850369461143325020.post-56948862562565927242010-05-25T05:47:39.670-07:002010-05-25T05:47:39.670-07:00Didn't Machiavelli recommend black for courtie...Didn't Machiavelli recommend black for courtiers?

I wear a lot of black, primarily in fall and winter, though I'm craving wearing it now, and it's too hot where I live to comfortably wear it in the day time. My favorite colors to wear, however, are shades of bluegreen; followed by shades of blue and beige. I wore a black leotard nearly every day through my first three years of college, excusing myself because I was also taking dance classes and stage movement. Now, it's my teenage son who wears black every day; and he definitely makes a statement with it, reflecting his conflicted mood and warding people away.
