Here are a few of the correspondences from my Craft:
Pink candles and roses (self care)
Pink quartz and pink candles (self care)
Lavender and amethyst (peace)
Purple candles and amethyst (enhancing the power of my third eye)
White candles and chamomile (healing)
Black candles and black tourmaline (protection)
Green candles and cinnamon (prosperity)
As you can see, I tend to match the colors for my correspondences.
Hmm⌠I think I might take some time to explore the Doctrine of Signatures! 
And it apparently needed it to get here ASAP, it was due to arrive next week but here it is!
This is stunning! You are my research and book creation idol! Honestly each time I see something of yours, I want to save it for my library! I have no idea how you have so much time and energy to do all of what you do. Ok Iâll stop⌠I adored the printed pages, honestly I think itâs the perfect combination between information and art, canât squee loud enough at how much I loved them! 
(edit: 
yes I know Iâm nutty but it just occurred to me the pages would be amazing in a bound journal! Now I want to make one :laugh: Picture of my BoS that I bound myself.
Oh thatâs a good choice! Thereâs a great website that offers some free classes on it - https://www.matthewwoodinstituteofherbalism.com/
and I promise Iâll stop replying individually, Iâm just excited today I guess 
Awesome Artemisia. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Iâm in the same boat. Iâm taking on much too much at once. But itâs great. 
Me neither. 10 hours of sleep last night to âcatch upâ seems to be hindering me more than helping. Maybe I should just stick to 4-6 hours. 
Whoa. You bound that? It looks amazingly professionally done. 
Also, the texture on the cover would be amazingly satisfying to feel while holding the book.
Now I want to make one, too. But I would need to be ready to fill it⌠So Iâll revisit the thought in⌠I dunno⌠10 years.
Ordered mine today 
I found mine on ebay for $20. Like new. Thrift books is another good site for used books
Nice! 
And here I am thinking I have things organized but no, hail the chaos in my mind and in my practice having everything scattered XD
I have some things in my mind but they need translation so, I have work to do in the weekend
CHALLENGE ENTRY
First off, I donât work with alot of correspondences. I just donât, it doesnât fit with the chaotic way I embrace the craft.
Each day will bring its own energy and dynamic so I tend to just work mostly with whatever I have to hand from the Earth and my cupboards. 
I do work with fire alot, (something to do with loving a fire God and Chaos God so much I guess 
) I burn candles daily, use candles to open and close circles of protection, candles for divination, burning offerings to Loki in the fireplace, and candles for spell work and prayer. I do it instinctively, so I looked up fire correspondences. Hereâs what I found.
Strong Flame: Your intention is solid and strong, and so will be your spell. Strong feelings are represented like love and anger.
Weak Flame: There is heavy opposition to your spell/ritual and your intention needs strengthening.
Dancing Flame: Your energy is erratic . You will be faced with challenges and/or change.
Flickering Flame: Spirits are here. My favourite kind of flame.
As I use candles alot, it helps to know their average burn time so you can read the flames better. This is just a guide, depends on candle quality.
Birthday candle2-5 minutes
Chime candle 2-2.5 hours
Tealight candle 2-2.5 hours
Votive candle 6-7 hours
Taper candle 9-10 hours
I donât always use colour correspondences with my candles either. This is because in traditional witchcraft these werenât important in the old days, as the local witch would use whatever she could get her hands on. As a result, the candle would be a natural candle, the crystals would be local to the area, or just pebbles and shells/stones found and imbued with intent. We are so fortunate today to have all this choice
Due to this way of working, Iâve added a list of substitutes.
They are:
Rosemary replaces any herb
White candles replaces any colour
Rose replaces any flower
Clear quartz replaces any crystal (or you can just use natural stone)
Lemon replaces any citrus
Black tea replaces any tea blend
Tobacco replaces any toxic herb
Frankincense replaces any resin
Olive oil replaces any oil/carrier oil
Table salt replaces any salt
Apple replaces any fruit
Naga champa (flower) replaces any incense
Reworking spells/rituals go hand in hand with a chaos witches life and substitutes. You have a base to work from, then you mess it up Iâll rework any spell if it doesnât feel right, or doesnât invoke the entities I wish to work with. If for example I wish to burn something in my spell, but safety wonât allow me too, I can use the same energetic effect by cutting it, shredding it or tearing it. Itâs still destruction which is the energy I want.
So there it is. My haphazard way of working.
Blessed be and maybe one day, Iâll get organized, but not today
Challenge enty
So, I was lucky enough to find in my goodle drive some of the information I have gathered in english Since I donât do a lot of spells I use the guides from the forum when I need help for the more advanced stuff.

These can give an idication of what ailments a particular sun sign MIGHT be more prone to. I have loomed at these ailments and have also suggested some natural remedies for some. Here is the Taurus example:
I have also been making correspondences between the traits of each sign and different essential oils to create a diffuser blend for each sign. This has involved looking at the associations of each oil, matching them to the signs and also cosidering the proportion of top,.middle and base notes in each blend. This has meant some trial and error, making notes, scoring out and using fragrance strips to test each. I have currently done 8. Only the last 4 signs to do.
I have also began work on a section aboit planetary days/hours to show how each day can be used to plan events to get the most from them. This is all a work in progress.
Blessed be

I feel the same way about colored candles! They just donât resonate with me at all. However, I do like the concept of color correspondences so Iâve been toying with the idea of making my own candles with dried flowers and herbs to imbue them with color in a way that feels right to me.
@Bumblebee Thatâs sounds fabulous. Theyâll look real pretty too. Maybe share some photos when youâve made them.
Wow! These pages are so beautiful! You have a wonderful eye for graphic design.
Challenge Entry Correspondences
HI all - first time entry so here goesâŚ
I donât have a comprehensive list but could compile one from my studies to share - I will take that as a side task to work on. I decided to list a more casual way I use correspondences in my daily life. I am a long time bird/wild life feeder and walk in nature as often as possible. As I come across wild life and animals are mentioned in passing that spark to me - I tend to reach back to old and new books and cards for their message. Like when I hear the Crow caw at me and I look up what Crow is telling me (sacred law vs human law i.e. walk your talk, speak your truth, going into the void). The deer along my walking path - gentleness and swift-footedness, speed, alertness and warning at times), Fox - camouflage and invisibility - be observant from the shadows. And the simple messages like the Chickadee and my mother saying hi from the spirit realm 
Bear - Introspection and going within - hibernate
Hawk - the messenger - it has something to tell you today, take a higher vantage point on the issue
Spider - weaving stories - what are you telling yourself or others.
Rabbit - are you paralyzed by fear? Stop running!
Eagle - bird of the gods, supremacy, divine connections to source - many traditions
And of course Magickal Creatures!
Unicorn - chastity, purity, singularity
Dragons - this reference could be so culturally diverse but usually seen as a guardian of treasures and more. Dragons conjure many associations for me - to be magickal, powerful, can associate with all elements, hard to kill and usually associated with fire.
And lastly share my newest love as I treated myself to a gorgeous Book of Shadows to replenish.
I have so enjoyed reading this thread - thank you all!!

Challenge Entry 
Iâm new to tarot and am slowly working my way through Tarot for the Self by Mary Greer, a book that was recommended to me by someone in my local witchy Meetup group who has been practicing tarot for decades.
I just completed a personal profile exercise that helped me find cards that correspond to my birthdate.
. . .
My Personal Tarot Profile for Guidance and Inspiration
Personality and Soul Cards
âThe corresponding Personality Card indicates what you have come into this lifetime to learn. The corresponding Soul Card shows your soul purpose through all your lifetimesâ (Greer, p. 20).
My Soul Number is 3.
My Personality Card is The Empress.
My Soul Card is also The Empress.
My Numerological Lessons and Opportunities Cards are 3 of Wands, 3 of Cups, 3 of Swords, and 3 of Pentacles.
Hidden Factor Cards
In your younger years, Hidden Factor Cards aka Shadow Card represent aspects of the self that remain unaware to you. Past the age of 30, they become more like a Teacher Card because youâre more self-aware and willing and ready to work with it.
My Hidden Factor Cards are The Hanged Man and The World.
Year Cards
Your personal year card represents âthe tests, lessons, and experiences you will go through this yearâ (Greer, p. 39).
For 2023, my Year Card is Justice.
Zodiac Cards
Your Zodiac cards help you understand the major, persistent themes of this lifetime and remind you of who you are at your core when you seek purpose.
My Sun Sign is Scorpio.
My Zodiac Card is Death.
My Zodiac Lessons and Opportunities Cards are 5 of Cups, 6 of Cups, and 7 of Cups.
Destiny Card
âFrom this card you can find indications of your fundamental impulses, desires, and reactions as an individualâ (Greer, p. 42)
My Destiny Card is Six of Cups.
Persona Cards
Persona Cards are based on correspondences between Court Cards and your sun, moon, and rising signs.
My sun sign is Scorpio so my Personal Potential Card is King of Cups.
My moon is in Leo so my Inner Teacher Card is King of Wands.
My rising sign is Taurus so my Mode of Expression in the World can be described by King of Pentacles.
. . .
Now I just have to get to know what all these cards mean!
