Color Symbolism

These are the meanings I associate with the colors in my magpie decks, my color dice, and the meeples I use in charm casting. Note that I created this system around 2007-2008, so it predates the Progress Pride flag and doesn't intend to imply anything about gender or race.

  • Silver: Underworld; chthonic, tricksy, or otherwise not-exactly-direct gods, guides, and spirits; lunar magic.
  • Black: Living community, including both humans and animals. (Community that has passed on, may be included in Silver, Gold, or Copper.)
  • Brown: Boundaries, connections, and fairness.
  • Pink: Receiving from others.
  • Red: Fire element; Will; passions and drives.
