Pagan/Wiccan fashion: Should we all wear black

Black is a common misrepresentation of the witch or wiccan that is portrayed incorrectly. The colors that are worn represent what we want to happen. If you have an idea what you want to happen that week:

Black represents reversing, protection, banishing, binding, absorbing, endings, justice, and endings. Black is supposed to be used if you want to go unnoticed. In this day and age-you really don't go as unnoticed as you used to. I suggest white if you don't want people pointing fingers.

White spirituality, purity, wholeness, the goddess, balance, protection, healing, raising vibrations. White is also associated with the Moon and female energy. The color white is a combination of all colors, therefore it be used for any purpose.

Yellow represents intellect, concentration, creativity, inspiration, thinking, memory, learning, communication, new beginnings, logic, and the mind in general. Its corresponding day is Sunday. It represents Air and the East.

Red represents strength, health, energy, power, the will, attracting power, lust, conquer fears, courage, survival, sex, passion and corresponding day is Tuesdays. It represents fire and the South.

Blue represents truth, peace, protection, calm, creativity, soothing, cooling, bliss, spiritual well being, healing, and truth. Its corresponding day is Mondays. Blue has a female energy to it. It is commonly associated with the Moon, Venus, Saturn, and Jupiter. It represents water and the West.

Green represents money, business, fertility, good fortune, growth, abundance, healing, and success. Green has both Male and Female energies so it is a very balanced color. It is associated with Venus and Mercury. Its corresponding day is Wednesday. It represents earth and the North.

Pink represents love, friendship, harmony, affection, tenderness, spiritual love, caring, loving yourself, healing emotions, good will and corresponding day is Friday.

Silver and Crystals represent emotional healing, nurturing, calming, fertility Its corresponding day is Saturday.

Orange represents quick changes, luck, attracting positive energy, energy building, fun, and energy for goals. The color Orange is a combination of Yellow and Red, therefore both energies are present with less intensity.

Purple represents the spirit, spirituality, luck, protection, wisdom, understanding life's mysteries, expansion, knowledge, reaching your higher self and highest potentials. Its corresponding day is Thursday.

Brown represents earth, stability, solid foundations, study, healing the earth, material needs. It is also associated with the hearth and home.

Silver and Crystals represent emotional healing, nurturing, calming, fertility Its corresponding day is Saturday.

All in all, if you aren't performing a ritual I say it is up to you what you wear, and if your want a specific outcome from that day, you might want to pick your colors carefully to coincide what you want to happen. I would also take into account if you want people to stare or not into what you wear. I personally don't care if they stare or not. Gives me more reason to use that old phrase, "Didn't your mother teach you it was impolite to stare."
After all, I am my own person, you should be too.
