Ritual Robes

For those of you who are so inclined to wear robes, for study group, ritual, and rites, and other magical celebrations this is a site (http://www.garbtheworld.com/pgs/outfits.shtml) we have found the robes which Sky and i will be purchasing for our use, as we said while working alone and as our coven we prefer skyclad but we do acknowledge there will come times where we will be required to wear robes. No we won't tell you which styles we have chosen only that they are both black.

For your robe choose wisely, remember that you will be working with fire, wine and food and long sleeves can catch easily or be dragged thru staining substances. Also accidents happen so don't be crushed if you silver satin robes get a dark red wine juice stain down the front, (which is why we require dark or brown earth tones for our group) Emblessish your robes as you see fit but remember the focus of your ritual should be the goddess and god not the sequined dress the catches the light at every angle and the large feather boa which dances dangerously close to the fire. Embroiry, belts, ties, and fancy cuts are fine but remember this is something you'll be working in, so you would be wise to choose something comfortable.

The last thing you should think about is foot wear, yes barefoot is ideal but if you are walking thru the woods to a clearing shoes would be suggested, having grown up in the woods it is not fun to step on a pointy rock or to stub your toe on a root masked in the darkness. There is also the issue of snow in the winter, I am the type of person who cannot stand having cold feet if they get cold i am freezing till they are warm again, of course if you are doing indoor rituals shoes are not an issue, but remember it is always better to be prepared for the unpredictable weather then to catch ill from bad conditions. You can always add clothes to get warm or take layers off if you over heat.
