Runes, scents, oils, and colors, oh my!

For those not familiar with my current project, I'm combining Runecraft with Hoodoo Master Candle work. I'm making 25 total candles, with my Master Candle being mine entirely, and then 24 candles, one for each rune. here's what Ive got so far.

Hey Beorc,

Not sure if you want more a "what it feels like to me," or not.. but you could always not reinvent the wheel, and go with existing correspondence tables.

The Complete Magician's Tables (Stephen Skinner) relates each rune to otehr things including paths of the tree of life, which each have their own color correspondence etc.

The Magician Tables (Alan Richardson,) also has complete herbal correspondences for each of the Futharks.

Not sure if you're interested, but there's 2 existing sources.
