In this episode, we talk about the power of purple—a color of royalty, rarity, magic, and spiritual connection. From ancient snail-dyes reserved for emperors to contemporary associations with mystery and intuition, purple bridges the realms of crown, cosmos, and inner knowing. In tarot, it often shows up where power, spirit, and transformation meet.
Understanding Purple in Color Magic
Purple sits between red and blue, blending passion with spacious calm. Historically, it was one of the rarest colors to produce—Tyrian purple dye was made from sea snails and reserved for emperors, clergy, and nobility. Because of this, purple became tied to royalty, wealth, power, rarity, and sacred status.
In modern associations, purple is often linked with magic, mystery, spirituality, ambition, and the mystical or erotic.
In color magic, purple represents:
The crown chakra and connection to the divine
Spiritual development and higher wisdom
Intuition, psychic sensitivity, and spirit communication
Ambition, progress, and self-mastery
Protection, occultism, and energetic sovereignty
Purple is linked to Wednesday | Mercury: communication, insight, resourcefulness, and learning.
To align with purple’s magic, choose practices that engage intuition, study, spirit work, or your higher self.
Many witches work with purple on Wednesdays to support clear communication with spirit, sharper intuition, and growth in their craft.
