Robes

A robe that is only saved for spell working can be a fundamental part of your magickal paraphernelia. It can be plain, decorated, and of any colour that appeals to you as long as it make you feel magickal. It is nice to have more than one robe, each in a different colour. The colours can be matched to the candle colours required for a particaular spell.

If you don't like the idea of a robe, wear whatever you feel comfortable wearing. The idea is for you to feel at ease, and not to be fashionable.

BLACK:

Robes are quite popular in this colour. Contrary to popular misconceptions, black doesn't symbolize evil. It is the absence of colour.

When a Wiccan wears a black robe, she / he is donning the blackness of outer space - symbolically, the ultimate source of divine energy.
