Black Tau Hooded Robe
$127.00
The black T-shaped Hooded Robe, is a rather standard magical implement throughout Western occultism. The same garment is used by different magical systems and initiation groups throughout the world for centuries now.
References to the use of a ritual black Robe with a hood are found in north European witchcraft (Reginald Scots’s “Discoverie of Witchcraft”, 1665), in the initiatory instructions of the Argentium Astrum (A∴A∴) founded by Aleister Crowley (and more specifically concerning the Neophyte grade), in the rituals of modern witches (see the black hooded Robe of the Crone in Janet and Stewart Farrar’s “A Witche’s Bible”), but also more broadly in rituals of initiation, rites of invocation and other practices of the Left Hand Path.
In any case, the hood enhances the meditative introversion of the sorcerer / witch, as well as increases his / her anonymity in order to face the Great Work not on the basis of our sensual ornaments and social identity but according to the degree of spiritual devotion to our true Will.

- What is Marocain fabric?
What is Marocain fabric?
Most magic manuals, grimoires, and oral tradition want the magic Robe to be woven from linen. Egyptian mummies were wrapped in linen. The gods themselves – like Hulda – taught people how to grow, spin and weave flax plant into linen cloth.
In some, albeit rather rare cases, magicians and witches use alternative materials such as Shantung silk which is considered the wildest and purest form of silk, so that the material they will use in their work is pure for the best achievement of Kabbalistic correspondence and of hermetic tuning.
After systematic research and experimentation, the artistic workshop LOGOS 373 recommends responsibly yet another fabric suitable for the needs of a modern practitioner for his rituals and initiation rites.
The Marocain fabric is also known here in Greece as “monk” because it is the fabric used by the monks and priests of the Eastern (Byzantine) Church for centuries now.
It is a thin fabric, with a smooth surface and a slight sheen. The Μarocain is also a fabric that is stable, light, cast and wrinkle-free, while creating unique folds, a characteristic that emphasizes the drama in the appearance of the Robe.
The feeling it gives when you wear it is airy, thus reinforcing the idea that the Robe is the magical body and extent of the practitioner’s aura.
The type of Marocain our workshop use is that of viscose. It is essentially a synthetic fabric made of natural raw materials. As for the ways to care the garment, the Robe by Marocain fabric it does not wrinkle easily (unlike linen) and it can be washed in the washing machine but not at a very high temperature. If hand washed, the water should be lukewarm and the ironing temperature should be low.
