History and folklore
Green is the color of leaves, fields and the returning spring, so it has long stood for life and fertility in folklore. Green figures such as the Green Man, carved into old churches, show how strongly people tied the color to growth and renewal. In modern American practice green also took on the color of money, which is why it became the classic choice for prosperity work. Wiccans link it with the element of Earth and with Venus, and they use it for anything you want to see grow, steadily and well.
