The Air Witch & Auras

An aura is the coloured area around the body. It is the atmosphere or spiritual essence of the self. It has been asserted that we each have a primary aura colour. We cannot change our primary aura colour, no matter what we do. However, there is an overlay of colour on the aura that we can control and manipulate for magickal used. This kind of magick should be used only on the self, never on others.

In order to manipulate your aura overlay, you have to be able to manipulate your emotions. In the same way that the mind “colours” emotion, the body reacts to the colours in the aura field. In other words, in order to change your aura overlay to a clear, bright red (to warn others away), you would need to direct the emotion you see as red into your projected aura. This is accomplished with concentration and visualization. If you can visualise something as simple as a bubble, you can change your aura overlay.

Here are the most commonly accepted aura colour interpretations:

Red: Passion, sexual energy, anger

Orange: Stability, clear thinking

Yellow: Logic, intelligence, energy, nervousness

Green: Nature lover, healer, jealousy

Blue: Peace, at rest, depressed

Purple: Spiritual

Pink: In love

Black: Negative person

White: Connected to the Divine, wise, a teacher of spirituality.

In effect, manipulating the aura is akin to throwing a glamour. The difference is in the level of concentration. A glamour only has to be strong enough to fool an onlooker, while an aura manipulation has to fool you. If you are about to go into a job interview and are nervous, your aura overlay will be yellow. You might want to change it to an orange colour, which indicates a clear thinking, stable person. So, you visualize the energy inside of you as a clear bright orange, then release it from the centre of the self, allowing it to stream out of your pores into your aura field. Do not ground until after the interview. Have faith that your aura overlay is now orange, and it will be.

It is a smart move to make regular aura cleansings a part of your magickal routine. This techniques are simple. While in meditation or an a separate task, simply visualize flooding your aura with a brilliant white light. You may want to smudge the aura field. Simply burn white sage or another cleansing herb in a dish, and direct the smoke all about your body with a feather of fan. Both techniques are safe and effective.
