Green- green is the color of life, healing, growth, money, prosperity, the earth, nature, youth, marriage and family bonds
Deep Red – Passion, Love, Maturity, Strength (especially emotional) and Courage
Combined these two colors tell me a simple message: “Be strong with what you love and keep your passion bright for in the future it is going to grow into something wonderful. In this up coming week expect the beginning steps to some change. Keep up your passion, don’t give in”
The Hesperides are the Nymphs of the sunset, the west and the evening time. They are said to be the daughters of Atlas, there are several by specific names in lore and several who go unnamed. The number or amount of these Nymphs is vastly unknown. They are typically to be treated with great respect, as many consider Nymphs (themselves included) as lesser deities. Commonly in lore they tend to be in groups of 3, 4 or 7. So if you plan on invoking one or working with one, she will likely not be alone.
There is the Garden of Hesperides which is a western garden and orchard, it is said this is where the marriage of Zeus and Hera took place. The Nymphs are tasked with taking care of and protecting the garden, though they are known to take nibbles of the apples there themselves.
Offerings for Hesperides: apples, syrups, bread, honey, milk, sunset imagery, colors of red, orange, purple and pale white; art, music, sweets, cream, beauty products, glitter, and items from the forest such as acords, stones and branches.
Magick they can aide in: Harvest, Hearth, Protection, Beauty and Glamour, Dance, Sun, Night and Sunset
Working with them: There is little information on companions of this type though likely due to them being seen more as Deities than standard spirits or entities, working with them one must be sure not to insult them. Flattery will get you everywhere, but be sure to be respectful while giving such flattery, even Nymphs don’t like people getting too up on them. offer them plenty of the things they like before making any work plans with them, and be sure to address what you wish from them. Offering respect to their father, the Titan Atlas, will also be a good thing to stick on their good side.

At my last company, one day someone in accounting approached me at lunch and quietly told me I need to ask for a raise because I was way underpaid.
They gave me a number to shoot for. It was about twice than what I had been making at the time.
So I went online, did some research, found some figures backing up my claim, put it all together and went to my boss.
I got what I asked for.
If it hadn’t been for that person in accounting telling me I was way underpaid, I’d have never known. I went from barely scraping by to being able to have a savings account and getting all my debts paid thanks to them.
You should at least check sites like salary.com to start the process of seeing what you should be making.
Because this is crucially important
Except for the fact that 90% of the time you are under contract not to talk about your salary otherwise the company can sue you. Every job I’ve had I’ve had to sign that I won’t discuss my pay with other employees otherwise my employment is terminated and the company will take legal action.
Basic Correspondences: money, prosperity, inspiration, good luck and cleansing
