Pagan/Wiccan fashion: Should we all wear black

Many movies and tv shows portray the Witch/Wiccan too always be wearing black and Gothic attire. This is a common misrepresentation of the Witch/Wiccan that is portrayed to give that scary or mysterious feel that only helps in the building of mistrust between the Witch/Wiccan and other societies. Witches/Wiccans are not evil or good. They are just a group of people like any other. Giving into the stereo typing isn't going to help matters.

The colors that are worn by the Witch/Wiccan are worn to represent what she/he wishes to happen. Normally you want to have a good idea of your desires for what you want to happen that day, week, or month, and dress accordingly:

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 with all the stereo typing going on with the movies and tv shows that have no real basis of truth in them that I know of. If you don't want people pointing fingers and stereo typing you from some stupid movie/show he/she has seen, I suggest wearing white. If you like being stereo-typed/feared/looking mysterious, then fine, wear black.

White represents 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. It be used for practically any purpose. The Witch/Wiccan will normally use white in replace of other colors like red, blue, purple, green, brown, etc that he/she can't manage to get her/his hands on at the time. They will also use this color to represent spiritual purity, for the Goddess, or their own one-ness with the Universe.

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.
