Colour Witch's Coven - The Threshold

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.

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.

I’ve just written a new blog that mixes two of my worlds, my event manager brain and Colour Witch heart.

It is about what really happens behind the scenes when you are running big events, how magical it feels when people turn up with good energy, and how quickly it can all wobble when a handful of guests decide the rules do not apply to them, and their story is more important than anyone else’s.

If you have ever watched someone kick off over “just one more ticket”, or felt your own justice sensitivity flare up when people try to push past a boundary, this one is for you.

In the second half I share what I am planning for Witchmarket Whitby over the May Day weekend, why it will be free to enter, low fee to trade, and why I am so clear on the energy I want us to…

Lately, I’ve been sitting with what it really means to live in alignment - not just in words, but in choices.

For me, colour is never just pigment. Green, for example, is the colour of compassion, empathy, balance and harmony - the path between what we feel and how we act.

I wonder: Are you living from your heart, or from fear?

In a world that’s loud with blame, outrage, and division, I find myself craving something simpler - a return to humanity. Not right, not left, not shouting over each other… just human.

I’ve made a small personal shift recently - one that felt like an act of integrity rather than rebellion. Not because I’m interested in politics as theatre, but because I’m interested in ethics as practice. In empathy as everyday magic.

So today’s invitation is this:
