$127.00
The Mass of the Phoenix is a Thelemic ritual written by Aleister Crowley in 1913. It became famous as the instructions state that the magician should bare his chest, make the proper sign with a burin, and soak a wafer with the blood coming out from the wound.
Is it actual blood that we are talking about? This question have provoked endless debates between those who support a literal interpretation and those who defend a bloodless understanding of the ritual.
In any case, Liber XLIV or The Mass of the Phoenix as it was first printed in The Book of Lies and later in Liber ABA, does not specify the type of Robe the magician should wear. Nevertheless, practice shows the need for a Robe where the magician will easily bare his chest to make the sign.

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.
