COLOUR WITCH'S ADVENT ~ RED ~ 6th December
Roots. Safety. The Things That Hold You.
Red is often described as the colour of passion, fire, danger; it’s all of that. But it is also the colour that says: you are safe here. You are held. You belong.
Red is your roots going down into the earth, your foundations. It's the people who've got your back. The places that feel like home. The possessions that aren't just things - they're memories, proof that you've lived and loved and built something solid.
At this time of year, when everything pulls us into commercialism, chaos, and other people's expectations - red reminds us to think about what actually keeps us steady.
The 3 Ps
Who are your people? Not just family, the ones you're supposed to care about, but those who make you feel safe and secure.
This is my altar:
People; a photo of me and my hubby, my safe person. A card from my trader family at The Gothic Gathering and a red fascinator made especially for this post at a networking group yesterday - a place I feel people really get me.
Place; Whitby - my spiritual home.
Possessions; my cauldron which has my mums favourite candle as a wax melt, a coin for abundance, a red jasper crystal, my red sage stick and a key I have buried in soil, so I always have a place of safety. A cinnamon stick for protection and bay leaf for manifestation plus my wish/affirmation for The Red House - that I keep in a jar with the key.
