Color correspondence lists are only as useful as they resonate with you. If you intensely hate yellow, it is not going to represent happiness effectively in your spellwork. If healing is blue and calm instead of green and lively for you, you're not wrong. These things are not truly universal--they bear cultural and personal meaning.
As I've said before, I use red for boundaries, and it works damned well for me. It might not for you, though. Try to make your own list of color correspondences, instead of assuming one in a book or on someone's blog is perfect for you.
something deeply intimate about being outside early in the morning all alone and seeing the world as she is

No. You don’t have to wait. There is no prerequisites for being accepted into witchcraft. You wanted to be a witch and now you’re a witch. End of story. Now, I would advice you work on meditating and protection because you’re just gonna need it on your journey, but to flat out say you’re not allowed to do anything else but protection and meditation for a disclosed amount of years or whatever, that’s ridiculous. Do what feel is calling you.
You shouldn’t tell people how to work their damn craft. If they want to hex or curse you let them. Hell, a few practices see cursing and hexing as major part of their ancestors history. If you don’t want to curse/hex don’t. But you don’t get to tell me or anyone else what to do like that. So try again.
Absolutely not. No you don’t. It is your magic. Yours! You know your limits, your strengths and what you can do. The spell will adjust. Use what you can. Do not worry about doing it down to the letter. Yes there are main components to a spell but even they can be altered to what you have. It’s about intent! INTENT! Do not think for a moment that you have to bend over backwards to a spell “correctly”. That’s just how they did it and that’s okay. Just follow the main points, I assume you know common sense, and you should be fine.

Hello!
I've become very interested in foraging and growing my own herbs. As Samhain approaches (Oct. 31st), I hang these herbs and flowers to dry. Over this next month, I will focus my intention on reconnecting with myself and my ancestors before me.
________________
Cedar leaves and bark - cleansing, healing, protecting
Marigolds (Calendula) - prophecy and rebirth
Rosemary - connection to ancestors
Sage (grown in my garden) - protecting and cleansing
Cinnamon sticks - prosperity
Dried orange slices - divination and luck
Once dry, tie together with cotton or other natural string.
________________
As Samhain approached, the veil thins and our connection to the other side becomes clearer. Now is the time to celebrate our roots, connect with our ancestors, and celebrate the Witch's new year.
As we move into the final season, the life around us begins to die, awaiting rebirth next spring. We have much to learn from this cycle of death and birth. In this time I attract peace and prosperity, while paying respects to those I have lost. I set intentions for the new year, and prepare to rest as the weather grows cold.
