Last year at covered bridge we introduced our Baltic amber pendants and our Indonesian rough. This year I’m not sure we’ll have the pendants thanks to the cost of silver but I’m working on some cute amber bracelets

Amber is a rich golden-orange color associated with warmth, vitality, confidence, happiness, and the life-giving energy of the Sun. In color magick, amber draws its symbolism from both its radiant hue and the ancient lore surrounding natural amber resin.
Amber can be used when energy feels depleted or motivation has become difficult to maintain. Its golden warmth supports determination, clear thinking, creativity, and the confidence needed to bring plans into physical form. It is especially useful for work involving personal power, leadership, recognition, success, or renewed enthusiasm.
The amber ray encourages courage without recklessness. It can help strengthen resolve when beginning something unfamiliar, speaking with authority, making an important decision, or stepping into a more visible role. Amber also carries an optimistic quality that can lift the atmosphere of a room, altar, or working space.
Because amber rests between yellow and orange, it shares yellow’s associations with intelligence, communication, and mental clarity while carrying orange’s creativity, movement, confidence, and warmth. It may be used to clear mental stagnation, inspire new ideas, sharpen concentration, and restore interest in projects that have lost their momentum.
Natural amber is formed from ancient tree resin, giving it additional connections to the earth, forests, preservation, memory, and the passage of time. For this reason, amber may also be incorporated into nature magick, ancestral work, spirit communication, remembrance rituals, and spells meant to preserve something valuable.
Ancient Greeks, Romans, Etruscans, and other cultures wore amber as jewelry and used it in amulets. It was historically associated with protection, healing, fertility, childbirth, and safeguarding women and children. These traditions belong primarily to amber resin rather than the color alone, but they have influenced the way amber is understood in modern magickal practice.
The phrase "amber is the color of your energy" was popularized by the band 311 through their song “Amber.” While it is a song lyric rather than an ancient teaching, it suits the color well. Amber has become strongly associated with radiant personal energy, warmth, attraction, and the visible glow of a person who feels confident and fully present.

Amber candles may be burned during spells for confidence, prosperity, creativity, career advancement, protection, or renewed motivation. Amber cloth, ribbon, jewelry, or stones can also be placed on a Sunday altar to represent solar power and the warmth needed to nourish a goal.
As with all color correspondences, amber’s meaning can shift according to the tradition, intention, and materials being used. The color carries predominantly solar and fiery energy, while natural amber resin adds older associations with trees, preservation, fertility, protection, and the mysteries held within the earth.
