Magical correspondence tables are like a witch's cheat sheet. They list energetic and metaphysical connections between objects, beings or concepts in a neat and precise at-a-glance way.
Correspondence tables allow a witch to quickly throw together a spell or charm based on the correspondences of the items in the table to the intent of her spell. Correspondence tables are a tool to make things easy but should never be considered hard and fast rules. Different practitioners may assign different correspondences based on their own experiences and belief systems. What is symbolic to one person, even if that person is an expert, may not be symbolic to you. Many witches create their own correspondence tables for their personal Book of Shadows.

Herbs are used in magick for their "vibrations" or "essences". Herbs, like people, have gender, are ruled by a planet, an element, and are often sacred to a God or Goddess. This is known in Wicca as the herbal correspondence, and is an important element in Wiccan Magick Spells.
The lunar phase is important in determining the best time for magick. There are basically two lunar phases; waxing moon (ideal for positive work) and waning phase (ideal for banishing/negative work, study and meditation. In between will be the dark moon (ideal for banishing and negative work) and the full moon (ideal for positive work).
Many Pagan spiritual traditions incorporate the practice of numerology. The basic principles of numerology hold that numbers have a great deal of magickal significance. Some numbers are more powerful than others, and combinations of numbers can be developed for magickal use.
