Blue Magic

Thursday, Tin, Jupiter

Stannic Blue is Jove; To Thursday flock his Kin;
Double-Crossed in Love, who Fish Satanic Tin.

Blue

Darkest of the three primary colours, Blue is a complement to the sulphurous yellow of the Sun (i.e. yellow light mixed with blue light will produce white light). Blue is associated with sky and sea, although that association properly belongs to the Cyan of Monday when the waters were divided. The connection of blue with these two elements is really that of Thursday's Creation of birds and fishes. The divided Waters are the realm of God; Thursday's Fish is the Deity, whether his name be Jove, Dagon, Oannes or Nun.

But the Deity is Demiurge - the false claimant to be Creator. Blue is Jupiter who treacherously wrested kingship from Black Saturn. It is the colour of centralised political control - and the symbol of depression for the dispossessed. Candles which burn with a blue flame were popularly supposed to signify the presence of the Devil, or the closeness of Death. More recently, a 'blue lamp' signifies the police.

Blue's jewel is the sapphire. In Exodus chapter 24, Moses and some seventy elders of Israel wine and dine with God upon a sapphire pavement. But Acts chapter 5 tells us that Sapphira was the name of the second person killed by yellow-robed Peter after he had taken control of the Jerusalem Church.

Of the three colour receptors in the human eye, the blue receptor seems oddly out of kilter. The red and green receptors are sensitive across almost the entire spectrum but blue across less than half of it; and while the red and green receptors absorb as much as 20 percent of the light striking them, the blue receptor absorbs a maximum of only 2 percent.
