Then when I want the spell to begin or come alive, I would undo one knot at a time. For example, I want it to snow, so I open the spell with the words: By the knot of one this spells is begun, and I name you frost, second knot is sleet, third knot is hail, fourth knot is light snow, fifth knot is snow, sixth knot is heavy snow, seventh knot is blizzard, eight knot is snow storm and the ninth knot is cloud burst. As I tie the nine knots, each one is given a name. For example, if I wanted snow I would use a white ribbon. The spell caster ties nine knots in a piece of colour coordinated ribbon. Thus was born ribbon magic, often referred to the spell of nine knots and extremely ancient.
One item that was readily available was string, or ribbon, something that was used to bind and was symbolic of binding your will to the spell.

The next part the novice had to learn was how to weave these into magic and intent. Gold: money, wealth, sun, happiness and contentment Orange: ambition, career matters, and the law Silver: clairvoyance, inspiration, astral energy and intuition Purple: material wealth, higher psychic ability, spiritual power and idealism Green: fertility, abundance, good luck, harmony, and moneyīlue: inspiration, occult wisdom, protection, devotion and rain Yellow: intellectual, imagination, creativity, memory and the sun Red: health, energy, strength, courage, sexual potency, heat, and fire Here is the first list of correspondences: Such was its power of relaxation that it can help to put the user in a meditative state and therefore, it became used in rituals of divination and psychic awareness. For example, the herb lavender has predominantly blue/purple flowers and lavender became known as a great healer plant, and in particular a calming, relaxing plant, no doubt due to its heady aroma. The novice had to learn what each colour meant, usually from looking all around them in nature and then connecting them to other correspondences. The five elements are: earth, air, fire, water and spirit (or the divine). The five elements of witchcraft are absolutely paramount in spells, magic and how we generally live. It is for this reason that the very first magic was of the element of earth.
Their development primarily originated from nature itself very similar to the magic that embraced them.
They are the beginning of what we now call the correspondences, and these lie at the heart of magic and the Craft. These meanings of colour developed centuries ago and was often viewed in awe. For example, we instinctively know now that pink is often connected to love, and red is passion, but how did we know that and where does this knowledge stem from? If we look at our stores covered in Valentine’s Day cards they are a mass of reds and pinks, or Easter cards are predominantly yellow with fresh spring green. The first lesson was learning the meaning of colours. The novice or neophyte witch had to learn to master this first, and then proceeded to candle magic. Along with the candle spell, the oldest spell known is that which concerns string or ribbon magic. The other old form, which we shall look at next month, is one which uses candles and fire. One of the oldest forms of magic and spell-weaving was that of ribbon magic or colour magic.
