Colour Witch's Coven - The Threshold

Calm. Serenity. Equanimity The White Lighthouse.

White isn’t about doing more. It’s about just being.

After everything we’ve moved through this month, white arrives quietly. It doesn’t ask for reflection, release, action, or insight. It asks for stillness. For trust. For letting things be exactly as they are.

Today’s practice is simple, and it might be the hardest one of all.

Stop.

Not forever. Just for a little while.

Understanding, Wisdom, Magic

Magenta is about understanding. Not simple comprehension, but the deeper kind that comes from experience, dreams, and letting life move through you.

In my system, Magenta is symbolised by the river. Sometimes fast and powerful, sometimes slow and meandering. It doesn’t apologise for either. It doesn’t panic when it twists and turns. And it never gets lost.

The river might change pace, change direction, even disappear underground for a while, but it always knows where it’s going. It flows towards the ocean. And when it reaches it, it doesn’t vanish. It becomes it.

That’s Magenta.

This is the colour of wisdom that comes from living, not forcing. Understanding, that arrives when you stop trying to control everything and start paying attention. It’s the place where dreams, intuition, and lived experience begin to make sense together - finally.

Violet Lake. Knowing. Contentment. Grace.

Violet is the point where you stop chasing answers and start trusting what you already know. Not knowing in a logical, tick-box way, but that deeper sense of “I’m here, I’m part of this, and I don’t need to panic”.

Violet Lake is where things settle in my colour system.

It’s the place where you remember your place in the universe, dropping the ego. You realise you’re small in the grand scheme of things, but you still matter.

This is also the point just before the solstice, and you might have seen people talking about a “quantum shift” around now. I’m not into big dramatic claims, but I do recognise what people are talking about. The Violet Lake often feels like a quiet recalibration rather than anything flashy. Nothing suddenly changes, but something settles. Perspective shifts. You stop panicking about not knowing what comes next.…

Communication. Connection. Motivation. Self-Expression.

Blue is the colour of your voice. Not just the words you say, but the way you connect. The way you show up. The way you let people be part of you.

When did you last really speak to someone? Not text. Not scroll past their life online. Actually talk. Actually connect.

We're so used to communicating through screens - quick messages, emojis, likes - that we forget what it feels like to hear someone's voice. To see their face. To laugh at the same time instead of reacting with a thumbs up three hours later.

The Blue Connection Challenge

Today, connect with someone properly. Not through text. Through voice or video.

Empathy. Compassion. Love. Balance.

Green is (literally) the heart of it all. The colour that holds us steady when everything else is spinning.

The colour that says: you can care about others and still take care of yourself. You can give and still have boundaries. You can love without losing yourself.

Green is balance, where you soften instead of pushing through. Where you breathe instead of holding on.

And green's Mystical Companion is The Stag.

Stoic. Present. Calm strength. The stag doesn't rush. It doesn't fight unless it has to. It stands with dignity, grounded in its own quiet power, but without ego.

The Yellow Bridge. The 12/12 Portal. The Crossing.

The tenth of December was heavy. Gold asked us to look at what we've been carrying, what we've been told to value, and what we're ready to leave behind (even if we think don’t want to!).

Today, Yellow Bridge says: Now cross and don’t look back.

Yellow is the colour of confidence, optimism, and hope. It's self-belief, it’s freedom, it’s joy.

It's the sunlight breaking through after a storm.

It's the moment you realise you don't have to stay stuck in the place that you've been standing.

The Golden City. The Turning Point.

Gold is where it gets a tad uncomfortable.

This isn't the shiny, abundant, manifestation gold that gets sold to us on Instagram. This is the gold that asks you to consider: what are you actually willing to stand for?

If you've read my book or been on my Colour Journey, you'll know about The Golden City - a place where everything glitters, where greed and commercialism promise us more, better, shinier. It's seductive. It's everywhere. And it's toxic.

The Golden City is where we're told our worth is measured by what we have, what we buy, what we show off. It's where we doom scroll and compare and consume and never quite feel like we're enough.

It's where we lose ourselves trying to keep up with a game we never signed up for.

Action. Courage. Creativity.

Orange is the colour that says: stop thinking about it and just bloody do it.

It's the colour of movement, of making things happen, of creative problem-solving when you've been stuck in your head for way too long.

And today's Fylgia (spirit animal)? It's the magpie. Bold, clever, curious. Magpies don't overthink. They spot the shiny thing, and they go get it. They're collectors, creators, problem-solvers. They're not afraid to stand out or make a bit of noise.

Imagine orange and magpie energy together? That's unstoppable.

I know it’s Monday, but at this time of year, we can get stuck in what we think we're supposed to do - buying the perfect gifts, putting up the perfect decorations, the perfect everything. Orange asks: OK so what if you just made something instead (and it's not actually perfect)?

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.

The Cold Moon. The Last Supermoon. The Awakening.

Tonight's full moon is the final supermoon of 2025, rising higher in the sky than any other moon this year - and the highest we'll see until 2042. She's called the Cold Moon, and she's in Gemini, the sign of stories, communication, and clarity.

This moon isn't asking us to do more. She's asking us to see more.

Coral is the colour of awakening - not the loud, frantic alarm-clock kind, but the quiet one that creeps in when you're finally ready to take notice. It's the colour of consciousness rising, of purpose clicking into place. Realising you've perhaps been telling yourself a story that no longer quite fits. Question it!

This moon, with all her brightness and height, is fully lighting up what's been half-hidden. What we've been almost seeing but not quite giving a name to. She's finishing something off -…

The Descent. Surrender. Deep Rest.

Black is the beginning of everything. The pause in the chaos. The colour of overwhelm, yes - but also the colour that says: “Put it down, Witch. You don’t have to hold on to all of this.”

We all know that his time of year is a lot. Everyone’s tired. Everyone’s pulled in so many different directions. And most of us pretend we’re fine until we crash in a heap on the sofa with a cuppa that’s gone cold and another list of things we still haven’t done.

Black doesn’t expect us to power through.

Black encourages us to stop fighting the tide.

This is the part we tend to skip because it feels unproductive.

Today is the first day of Colour Witch Advent. I wanted to do something gentle and meaningful for December, without piling pressure onto anyone (including me), so here’s what we’re doing:

Using my twelve-step Colour Journey - every even-numbered day this month, I’ll share a small moment of colour energy for you to sit with. Nothing complicated. No big tasks. Just simple check-ins and colour prompts that help you stay present, grounded, and connected through the chaos of December.

Think of it as a slow advent. A breath. A ritual that meets you where you are.

This isn’t about keeping up or getting it perfect.

It’s about noticing what shifts in you when you pause for a moment of colour.

More tomorrow, witches.
