The colour of magic

What's the colour of magic? Some might think it's pink from magic wand twinkles or white for purity. Ah, but you're forgetting one or two things for consider this:

What amphibious creature turns into a handsome Prince when kissed? And what colour is that creature typically? Come on, I'm sure you know. Just as you can instantly shout out what colour is a wicked witch's skin? While we're on the subject, what about the steam that comes out of her cauldron or the mist that lurks in the enchanted forest? And the most magical of potions?

What colour the man made of leaves that lives in the wild wood? And the wee irish fella that runs about with a pot of gold (possibly carrying a four-leaved clover that matches his attire). Dragons, the Incredible Hulk, catterpillars, aloe vera, the Lantern

And finally, in the northern hemisphere something very special happens around this time of year (and for our Southern cousins about six months later). A most magical unfurling, growth and strength in rebirth - the GREEN of Spring!

Any more green magic you can think of?

    The unfurling of all things new is just the most magical moment of a new enchanted life... us 'down-under' are just basking in the fact that we are going into our dormant stage...getting ready to unfurl at the first sign of Spring.
    Thank you Fairy Godmaother for another wonderful image and story.

    Aye you're right Mother magic is green...unless of course it's black but that's a horse of a different color all together and I won't be takin you there.
    Your picture is magical and so are your words...Happy St Paddy's Day!!

    I can think of the green mould that grows rapidly on a stale loaf of bread left out in the summer heat in my part of the world!! Your plantlife piece is scrumptious and, for some strange reason, mouth-watering. Fantastic take on the theme, Gazza!!

    Green and spring are so intimated linked, think also that green must be a magical color.

    Love the fresh, green ferns in your magical photograph. How about "green with envy?"

    The Northern Lights are sometimes green too and that is something just so spectacular to watch! But then you knew that didn't you Fairy Godmother, because, of course, you are very wise

    I agree Green is a magic color. Four leaf clovers, beautiful gems and stones and lime sherbet very magical indeed!
    Thanks Fairy Godmother for the reminders.

    You're right as it really does seem like magic when those first shoots appear. Beautiful interpretation.

    Hm... I'd always thought that it was white because it's every colour of light combined--in other words, a rainbow in one colour~ (That said, this post is lovely<3)
