Red - Passion, energy, power
Colours can affect our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual states, both consciously and unconsciously. We can use colours to help us feel better, to inject an element of vitality into our life, or to calm strong feelings and promote a sense of peace and relaxation.

The colour red is typically associated with a range of emotions and states of being, including: energy, passion, love, joy, vitality, health, strength, power, fire, aggression and danger. Different people perceive colours in different ways, so you may have other associations, which are equally valid.

Throughout ancient traditions, red has been a dominant colour, symbolising both positivity and negativity. It's been used to represent the colour of gods of sun and war and is often associated with power. In China it was the emblem of the Chou dynasty and was thought of as being one of the luckiest colours. In Christianity red is associated with the act of sacrifice, representing the blood of Christ who died on the cross. Red is a particularly dominant colour in the Tarot.

The colour has links with passion and sexuality, too. Hearts are usually depicted as red and it features widely in the annual celebration of St. Valentine's Day, and in Greece it was the colour of the phallic God, Priapus. Young North American Indians traditionally painted themselves in red, believing it would increase their strength and desire.

On the negative side of things, in Celtic tradition, a red horseman was the colour of death and in Egyptian legend it had a destructive element, being the colour of the chaos serpent, Apep.

As far as the chakras go, red is the colour used to symbolise the base chakra.

Angels - Compassion, love, service
Angels represent God in a more worldly form. Angels bring the vastness of God, and put it in a package we as human beings can relate to much better. They embody some of the greatest qualities of God such as:

Compassion
Love
Understanding
Non-judgment
Contentment
Peace

Angels bring these beautiful qualities down to earth. They are like messengers from God sent to bring us special things. Angels have the ability to be the 'in-between' beings, able to communicate with both humans and the very subtle energies of creation.

To carry or wear an angel symbol brings to mind the idea of service. To be of service to others and to the greater good.
