Magical Correspondences
If spells are sentences, correspondences are the grammar — the rules and rhythms that give them form. This archive charts the sacred language of color, day, moon, metal, herb, and number. Here, you’ll learn why green hums with prosperity, why Fridays belong to Venus, and how the four elements underlie every enchantment you cast.
These correspondences connect the threads of all traditions — from ancient Babylonian astrology to modern chaos magic. It’s less about memorization and more about fluency: learning to “speak” to the universe in a dialect it already understands.
