About the author

Raymond Buckland was a highly influential figure in the development of modern Wicca and the occult in the United States. Born in London, he became interested in the supernatural at an early age and was initiated into the Gardnerian Wiccan tradition in 1963 by Monique Wilson, a high priestess appointed by Gerald Gardner. After emigrating to the U.S. in 1962, Buckland introduced Gardnerian Wicca to the country, founding its first coven in New York in 1964. He later developed his own tradition, Seax-Wica, inspired by Anglo-Saxon paganism, and published The Tree: Complete Book of Saxon Witchcraft to make it accessible to all.
In 1968, he established the first Museum of Witchcraft and Magick in the U.S., which helped normalize and educate the public about Wicca. Over the course of his career, Buckland wrote more than sixty books on Wicca, divination, and the occult, including Witchcraft from the Inside and Buckland’s Complete Book of Witchcraft, both regarded as essential texts in Neopaganism.
Throughout his life, Buckland remained a prolific teacher, writer, and practitioner. He continued to write and teach until his death in 2017, leaving behind a lasting legacy that shaped the spiritual practices of countless Wiccans and Pagans worldwide.

This book is a decent introduction into working with color magick. However, it merely glosses over one of the most commonly applied color magick uses: candle magick. He focuses on energy work, which is important but the name is misleading as it focuses more on types of energy work than color magick or even theory.

Additionally, I wish he had gone more in depth with shades of colors as the nuances can be effective for practitioners. Another thing that I believe is important to note is the cultural appropriation (for instance, some elements of Feng Shui were mentioned while them being Feng Shui was not). This can be misleading to those who are newer to practicing. [Note: I understand that at the time of this being published we weren't speaking about cultural appropriation but that doesn't give us an excuse to not highlight it now.]

A decent little book. I think that the charts are very useful. I wish that this included a glossary of all of the various charts and diagrams for quick reference, but it’s short enough to quickly locate any information.

This book was everything I needed. It’s a great introduction to chromology and using colors to improve your meditation and psychic/Wiccan practice. I feel like all forms of typically practicing magick are totally incomplete without the use of color. Would highly recommend 🌈

This book is terrible but also helpful but also hilarious but also don’t bother reading it? I found it in a free little library and read it while absolutely exhausted after a Megadeth concert. Enjoy! Or don’t- live your life as you see fit.
