You may have studied elemental magic for too long when...

You find that when your friends visit, you automatically give each person their drinks in a cup of a color that corresponds to their elemental nature...

wonder what color i would get then? i don't know enough about elemental magic at all.

[azurelunatic]

Actually, I don't know elemental well enough to do that -- I just happen to already know which elements are strongest in certain of my friends -- Sis, Nephew, Darkside, Adam, Neighbor, Alan -- and they get the appropriate color plastic cups.

Air goes with yellow, blue, purple, occasionally pink.
Fire -- red, orange, yellow, sometimes green (complementary colors to the main color, just like purple for air)
Water -- blue, orange, purple, green.
Earth -- black, green, brown, grey

Of course, some people have different correspondences. Those are just the ones I use.

does it go with astrology?


cuz i am scorpio (water) with aquarius (air) and gemini (air) moon.

That's how Sis figured out mine. Water with a minor in air, then, and I'd give you a blue cup.

ah yes i like blue

...it turns out that my favorite color of smokey blue-grey is the exact color of the skies when the wind is blowing furiously and lashing branches about and blowing leaves across the parking lot at high speed and almost tearing off the clothes...

...I love that wind, and I'm at my most powerful then.

You say that like it's a bad thing! hehehe...and blue or purple cup for me, darlin', if we're going elemental. (Very air-affiliated, with minor in water.)

not a bad thing....

Sis and I have this amusing little thing, "You Might Be Living In A Witchy Household If" going ... one of the (it actually happened) ones --

"You might be living in a witchy household if you send your roommate to the store for a loaf of bread, and she comes back with a loaf of bread and a hundred candles and you ask her why she only got a three week supply."

hehe, and you might be living in a witchy household if the person you give the cup to contests that you're not handing them the right cup based on the color of it -- you're still working with elemental, and they're working on Planetary right now...
