"As Above, So Below." What does that mean?

"As Above, So Below" regards how witchcraft weaves its tapestry.

Notice the correspondences between the Universe (e.g., the one that's inside our bodies) and how these cellular structures match the great Cosmos that's up amongst the Stars. 

Correspondences also connect herbs with planets, colors with emotions, and crystals with intentions. By understanding these connections, we can infuse our spells, rituals, and everyday lives with a deeper layer of meaning and intention.

Think of it like this: Imagine brewing a love potion. Red roses (associated with love) sprinkled with cinnamon (known for passion), cast under the Full Moon, linked to both emotions and intuition ... all that work together to amplify our magickal goals!

A Witch uses these correspondences to symbolize her desired outcome and to communicate her desires with all the intelligent Energies, seen and unseen.

Exploring the Magickal Correspondences:

There are countless correspondences to discover, but here are a few foundational categories (to help you with the "As Above, So Below" principles):

Herbs & Plants: Each herb whispers a unique story. Rosemary, with its spiky leaves and strong evergreen aroma, embodies protection, while calming lavender (with leaves that look similar to Rosemary leaves but Lavender leaves are softer with a much more soothing aroma). So lavender soothes anxieties!

Crystals & Minerals: Crystals (with a highly ordered microscopic structure made of atoms, molecules, and ions) exhibit potent vibrations. Amethyst, with its deep purple hues, resonates with spiritual wisdom, while fiery citrine attracts abundance.

Colors: Colors are more than just visual; they carry energy. Red ignites passion, green nurtures growth, and white symbolizes purity.

Planets & Celestial Bodies: The Moon governs intuition, the Sun radiates confidence and growth, and Saturn brings grounding stability.

Building Your Own Magical Language:

The beauty of correspondences lies in their personal interpretations. While there are established associations, follow your own intuition to personalize your work! Notice how certain colors make you feel or how a particular herb resonates with your intuition. Trust your inner voice; it's a powerful guide.
