I see a lot of people talking about herbal correspondences. But there are some chemicals that have magickal correspondences too. Here is a list I found. Let me know if you know if you know anymore and I will add it to the list. I hope this helps (:

This is really interesting! Just like you said, we talk about herbal correspondences all the time around here- as well as color, Zodiac, seasonal, and so many other correspondences as well. And now we can add chemical and mineral correspondences in too!
I knew some traditional correspondences for gold and silver, but the others are new to me. This is a handy list, @carter1- thanks so much for sharing!
If I remember correctly, copper is also associated with healing. It was used historically to help treat wounds. It could also be used to keep unwanted things away – think the copper IUD killing off sperm cells to prevent pregnancy!
This is great information, I have all these in The Ultimate Correspondences & Intents but have all of them listed as metals. never thought of them as chemicals.
Here is what I have for Sulphur (listed as a crystal/stone/mineral):
@MeganB i actually have to take a copper supplement. Eveyone plsake sure to have your doc run a heavy metal test before u start or stop any of these components. Or any herb supplement, check with your doc.
They stopped using them…? I had one after I had my daughter, and I only had it removed about two years ago when I had a tubal ligation! It’s the Paragard
Copper also has a correspondence with Brigid, doesn’t it? The Hermes connection was new to me, but fits the picture. When I think of copper, I think of alchemy, fire, transformation and blacksmithing. It’s a soft and easy metal to work with.
I think so! When I got my first Mirena IUD back in 2016 (they last 5 years), I was told the copper ones existed, but they weren’t an option anymore because of the risks.
I’m not sure that’s the case in the US at least. I have one that was put in about 5 years ago and the studies show it’s effective longer so mine will remain for 2 more years. I’ve not had any problems with mine barring a bad interaction with a Diva cup 4 weeks before my last one (which was in 5 years) was due to be swapped out. Forgive me if any of this is TMI and please feel free to hide the parts that should be hidden.
Oh, interesting! Maybe it’s more of a “we don’t have selling agreements” thing, masqueraded as a health concern. Nothing surprises me when it comes to the health industry.
I’m tempted to ask about the bad interaction, as I’ve yet to try one of those… But maybe I’ll ask about experiences in general over in the blood thread.
