The color grey is a Feminine Lunar Symbol. It represents the exact middle of the scale between the colors black and white. As a result, it is neutral  and does not bear the symbolic qualities of either of those colors.

Grey is a Lunar symbol because it bears some of the qualities of the moon. As I have explained previously, the moon comes and goes with regularity. It is symbolic of that which is hidden, has yet to be revealed and will be revealed. Grey represents the veil that obscures what will eventually be revealed. The veil that obscures can also be in the form a fog or a mist. We know that a mist or fog will eventually be lifted.

Grey is an unemotional color. It is detached, neutral, impartial and indecisive . It is symbolic of depression and apathy. Grey is also symbolic of the fence-sitter who must eventually step down onto one side of the fence or the other. It also represents the absence of activity or change.

When I see grey in a psychic vision for a client during a psychic session it can have quite a few interpretations. If I see a person in grey I know that they are either depressed, lost, indecisive or neutral. They may also be wiling to compromise if that is in question during the psychic session. And the person could be unwilling to take any action even if it my client needs them to do so.

Very rarely, the color grey or a grey mist can mean that the spirit guides who are present during the psychic reading are not willing to give us the information we are asking for. They do this for a reason and the color tells me that they will divulge the information in good time. Most times, it comes up later in the reading when it makes more sense to my client and myself. And sometimes my guides are trying to protect my client from something that they are not ready to hear.

This brings us to the end of the symbolic meaning of colors. I hope you found this informative! Check back soon for more metaphysical posts.

Many of the symbolic meanings for the color gold are universal. Gold is highly valued in every culture on Earth. Its value does not lie solely in its use as a unit of monetary exchange. Rather, it is universally symbolic of our creator. It has been for millenia.

When Gold is symbolic of the creator, it is a Feminine Lunar Symbol. However, when gold is symbolic of light and the sun, it is a Masculine Solar Symbol.

What is interesting about gold is the fact that it did not originate on our planet. The Earth was pelted with gold fragments at some time during its existence. That is why we find gold in so many locations on our planet. It is almost as if these gold fragments were a gift from our creator and we sensed it very early on in our development as human beings.

The legend of the alchemist’s quest to turn common metals into gold was not motivated by its monetary value. It was a quest to change low-vibrating qualities like greed, hate and selfishness into high-vibrating qualities like love, virtue and compassion through the process of self-purification. They were hoping to speed up the process by discovering a secret ingredient that could be used as a shortcut. This defined gold as symbolic of the transition of the soul from imperfection to perfection.

You will find gold used in many religious ceremonies, garments and artifacts. This is a direct symbolic use for gold as the color of our creator. The belief here is that the use of gold attracts the gold energy that our creator sends to us.

In some belief systems, the color of the Crown Chakra is gold. Here gold represents the spiritual wisdom that is constantly beamed down to us by our creator. The energy in that channel of communication is gold in color.

Gold is also symbolic of Heaven, divination, great fortune, universal fraternity, radiance, wisdom, clarity, virtue and light.

Gold or gold-colored objects are used in rituals to attract wealth. In meditation it is used to channel or verify the flow of spiritual wisdom. This is easily done by visualizing the Crown Chakra as gold-colored during a meditation. I do this quite often when I guide my clients through the meditation process.

When I see gold in a psychic vision for my clients during a psychic reading it can have a lot of interpretations. If I see a person in gold I know that they are one of the following:

• very spiritual
• getting ready to move to a higher level of spirituality
• going to make a lot of money
• mentally positive
• emotionally positive
• spiritually positive
• financially positive

We’re not done yet with the Symbolic Meaning of Colors! We have 2 more to go.

The color black is the complete opposite of the color white and it t is every bit as powerful. Black and white are perfect examples of the Principle of Duality. For a color to be created from the reflection of all color there must be a color created from the absorption of all color. That color is black, the complete opposite of the color white. Black is created by mixing all of the primary colors together. This forms a muddy, brownish-black color.

The power of black rests primarily in its ability to absorb. This power is best exemplified by black holes that can found in our solar system and beyond. A black hole is a mathematically defined region of spacetime that exhibits such a strong gravitational pull that no particle or electromagnetic radiation can escape from it. Black holes  form when very massive stars collapse at the end of their life cycle. Once something reaches the event horizon of a black hole it cannot resist its powerful gravitational pull. We can only assume that objects that are pulled into the vortex of a black hole are destroyed. That is what black does. It can be a very a destructive color.

Black is a universal color. It is considered to be a negative color in all cultures. It symbolizes negative, evil, death, the still of night and the deepest recesses of the mind. Black does not always have negative symbolic meanings, however. Black can also symbolize intensified spiritual energy, communion with ancestral spirits, antiquity, spiritual maturity, and spiritual potency.

When black clothing is worn it signals power and formality. This the primary reason that black is worn at formal events. It is a sober, no-nonsense color that positions those who wear it as being serious and powerful.

In rituals black can be used to stop psychic attacks. A black object can be empowered in a ritual ceremony to absorb negative energy. When it is placed in the area where negative energy is present it absorbs and deflects the energy away from the occupants of the room. At a prescribed time the black object is discarded, taking the negative energy it absorbed with it.

When I see black in a psychic vision during a psychic reading for my clients I usually know that something is negative. If I see a person in black I know that person is to be avoided because they are negative and up to no good. When I see the color black over other colors I know that someone or something is negative but there will be a change that is determined by the other color or colors that rest beneath it. For example, if I see black over green, I know that the person or situation will “heal” and change from negative to positive.

We’re getting closer to end of the list of symbolic colors. There are 3 colors left. Don’t miss them!

The color white is one of the two most powerful of  colors. This is due to the fact that white is an achromatic color that reflects all visible light of the spectrum. White is the result of the absence of color. It is powerful because it resists corruption by reflecting everything away from itself. This is why white is symbolic of purity and incorruptibility. Because it is an active color white is a Masculine Solar Symbol. It is also the color of light as Primary Substance.

The color white affects the mind by aiding in mental clarity and acuity. It promotes feelings of fresh beginnings and renewal.

White is symbolic of perfection, virginity, innocence, honesty, light, goodness, heaven, brilliance, illumination, understanding, faith, beginnings, sterility, spirituality, possibility, humility, sincerity, protection, and perfection.

The second most important symbolic meaning for white is truth. Like the color white, truth is incorruptible. Nothing we can do or say can change it. As Winston Churchill once said, “The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.”

In rituals white is used for cleansing, clearing and encouraging the purification of thoughts and actions. It is used to protect the practitioner from any negative energy that may be unknowingly attracted during the ritual. This is accomplished by burning a white candle or meditating before the ritual begins and wrapping oneself in white light. In order to activate the protective quality of white light the practitioner must clearly state the intention of its use for that specific purpose.

Whenever I conduct a guided meditation for a client I always guide them through a ritual that will protect them from negative energy during the meditation. I guide them to wrap themselves in white light from head to toe while stating that this will protect them during the meditation. I affirm that nothing can penetrate the white light. The wrapping of white light also cleanses my client of negative energy.

When I see white in a psychic vision I know that it stands for truthfulness, purity and spirituality. If I see a person as all white in a psychic vision then I know that the person is someone whom my client can trust.  White is always a positive color when I see it for my clients in psychic visions.

Be looking for my next post on Color Symbology. I will be discussing another color that is just as powerful as white.

Purple shares many of the same symbolic qualities as blue. Although there are many different beliefs concerning the color of each of the 7 chakras, I see the third eye chakra as blue or purple. However, purple differs from blue when it indicates the union with your higher self, your higher consciousness and with spirituality. It is the color that opens the consciousness and brings awareness of higher planes of existence and connects us with the energies of spirit and light.

The third eye is located in the same area as the pineal gland. The pineal gland is a small endocrine gland in the brain. It produces melatonin, a serotonin derived hormone, which affects the modulation of sleep patterns in both seasonal and circadian rhythms.

I believe that the real talent of a good psychic lies in their ability to control the sleep process. They are able to hold an alpha state that allows them to contact spirit. The 4 alpha states are part of the process of falling to sleep. So, the pineal gland that controls sleep is crucial in achieving and holding that state of consciousness for extended  or for momentary amounts of time. When they accomplish this connection it is purple. I see the pineal gland in my mind’s eye as being purple.

Purple is also symbolic of  intuition, clairvoyance, divination, spiritual protection, wisdom, idealism and psychic manifestation. It is a universal symbol for  the royalty of the gods. It can often be found in the religious garments of priests and priestesses.

Purple is used in rituals to initiate psychic ability and create contact with spirit. Many times, psychics will wear purple for that very purpose.

Whenever I see purple in a psychic vision for a client during a psychic reading session I know that it means several things for me. It represents the connection with spirit during the reading, the presence of spirit during the reading or that someone will be going through a spiritual transformation.

Sometimes I see colors in layers. When I do I have to apply the meaning of each color as it relates to the color on the bottom layer. For example, I may see black over purple. The correct interpretation for that combination is that someone is acting unspiritually or is simply unspiritual.

Lastly, of the colors in the visible spectrum, purple is the one that vibrates at the highest frequency. It is this high frequency that gives it the ability to connect us with spirit. This is because spirit also vibrates at a high frequency.

Don’t miss the next two colors that I will be discussing in the next two posts as I continue with this series on color symbology. They are very important colors.

Blue is another very useful color. Although it is considered a masculine color in the west, blue is actually a Feminine Lunar Symbol. Blue symbolism is nearly universal in its meaning.

When you think of blue, think of the blue sky that covers the earth.  And, since we have left its atmosphere, the Earth appears as a blue planet when viewed from outer space. Blue is symbolic of the blue sky and what we once believed lay beyond it. We believed that the sky was the membrane that separated us from Heaven and our creator. It is Lunar because it is a creative symbol.

All of the qualities of the sky are symbolized in blue. It is the color of meditation, tranquillity, openness, expansiveness, freedom, forgiveness, clairvoyance, peace, mystery and depth.

Blue is also symbolized by lake and ocean water which appears blue to us in many instances. The main reason for its color is that large bodies of water reflect the blue of our sky. Blue is symbolic of the source of life because it is symbolic of a fluid that is essential for life.

As a Psychic Medium, blue represents the transfer of energy from spirit as it communicates with me. And I believe it is the color of the psychic who is in contact with another plane of existence.

Blue is very useful in rituals and meditation for it calming effect. It is also used to place the mind in a receptive, psychic state when working with spirit. Light blue is used in hospitals to calm patients as well as those who work within its walls.

Dark blue takes on some different symbolic meanings from light blue. It is symbolic of expertise, stability, control , strength, integrity, seriousness, intelligence, unity, and represents knowledge. Dark blue is a more serious and conservative color than light blue. Dark blue loses some of its Lunar qualities and begins to take on Solar qualities as it gets darker. A good example of this is the use of dark blue in police uniforms.  In that instance, it conveys control, expertise and power.

Look for my next post about the symbolic meaning of another color. We still have a few more to go.

Green is another very important color in symbology and in metaphysical use. There are many universal symbolic meanings for green.

When you think of the color green you should think of the green canopy that is created in a forest of broad leaf trees. If you stand beneath that canopy, you are flooded with sunlight that is filtered through green tree leaves. This is the best green light in which you can bathe yourself. It is rich in powers of vigorous life, regeneration and healing. Because of these symbolic qualities, green is a Feminine Lunar Symbol.

Green is symbolic of springtime, freshness and hope. When green symbolizes hope, it represents the faith that things will improve after a period of adversity in the same fashion as the renewal of flowers and plants after the cold, harsh winter season ends each year. In this way, it symbolizes rebirth, renewal and immortality.

In the west, green also symbolizes money, prosperity and wealth. Any ritual that is performed to attract money should employ the color green. For example, in a Feng Shui ritual, you place a green dollar bill under a red object in the prosperity corner of your house. The red activates your intention and the green indicates the desired result of the ritual. The ritual is meant to activate the flow of money to you.

When I guide my clients through a meditation session, I always have them visualize green light bathing every part of their body.  The green light is soothing and healing. Many of my clients come out of a meditation session feeling unusually relaxed and energized. That is the power of green.

We still have many more colors to discuss in this series of posts on the symbolic meanings of colors.
