Daily Magic: January 15, 2025

PLEASE NOTE: As of this week, I’ve begun to deviate from the information found in Llewellyn’s Yearly Magical Almanac (which I once relied on heavily). As I’ve learned more about color and herb magic, I’ve found that I don’t always agree with the almanac’s selections for color and incense of the day.

Instead, I’ll be choosing color, incense, and crystal of the day based on the current day’s ruling planet and influences – in a way that appeals more to me personally. Sometimes these choices will be the same as those found in the almanac, and sometimes not.

Here are your witchy correspondences for Wednesday, January 15, 2025:

  • Color of the Day: Orange
  • Crystal of the Day: Mottled Jasper
  • Incense of the Day: Marjoram
  • Number of the Day: Seven
  • Moon of the Day: Waning Leo

Wednesday is ruled by Mercury. Magical influences include the conscious mind, study, travel, divination, and wisdom.

If you’re performing divination (and you should), it’s a good day to ask questions related to business matters and travel.

Color of the Day: Orange

Orange is associated with Mercury, the day’s ruling planet. Magical properties of the color orange include creativity, opportunity, legal matters, and success.

Orange combines the physical energy of the color red with the power of thought (yellow), which provides the potential for wisdom as well as achievement. Orange symbolizes warmth, expansion, prosperity, harvest, tolerance, and love for all life.

Crystal of the Day: Mottled Jasper

Mottled jasper is a projective stone ruled by the planet Mercury and associated with the element air. Magical properties of mottled jasper include protection and control.

Wear mottled jasper for protection – especially against drowning. To create a potent talisman, carve an equal-armed cross into the stone, which represents the powers of the four elements, foundation, and control.

Incense of the Day: Marjoram

Marjoram is a masculine herb ruled by the planet Mercury and associated with the element air. Magical properties of marjoram include protection, love, happiness, health, and money.

Use marjoram in love spells and/or add to food to strengthen love. Carry the herb or place a bit in each room of your home (renewed every month) for protection. Marjoram brings happiness and is also used in money mixtures and sachets. Wear an amulet made of marjoram mixed with lavender flowers to ward off colds in the winter.

NOTE: If you don’t have the herb/incense of the day, check out my list of herb and incense substitutions for more ideas.

Number of the Day: Seven

The numerological day is determined by adding up the total of the current day, month, and year – then reducing this number down to a single digit.

January 15, 2025 is a “seven” day.

On seven days, you’ll feel like spending at least some time alone to get in touch with your inner self, to learn, and to grow spiritually.

Moon of the Day: Waning Leo

The waning moon (the time from the full moon to the new) is a time for study, meditation, and little magical work – except magic designed to banish harmful energies.

Moon in Leo draws emphasis to the self, central ideas, or institutions, away from connections with others and other emotional needs. People tend to be melodramatic.
