Tables of Correspondence
These tables of correspondence illustrate various qualities and associations of tangible objects like crystals and stones, herbs, and oils, as well as intangible phenomena like colors, directions, and astrological signs.
Included here are tables of correspondence between the Elements and their various associations, including physical objects used to represent them in ritual and magic.
The information here is by no means complete, but is intended as a basic reference as you explore your practice of the Craft through an Elemental lens. Utilizing the tools and “ingredients” listed here can help you strengthen your connection with the Elements, and therefore with the powers of the Universe.
Try working with the stones, herbs, tools, etc. that you feel an affinity with, as well as introducing yourself to new ones from time to time.
