Hello! I've been a Thelemite since August 12, 2012, and a Student of the A.'.A.'. since July. I submitted my Student Examination a few days ago and...am impatiently and excitedly awaiting my grade . Of one thing I am curious: What of the robe? Do we have to construct it from scratch, or is there a place that specializes in making robes?

I'm currently in college in Colorado, my favorite band is Therion, I play guitar and write my own music, and I tend to be betrayed by most people I meet.

Make your robes is preferred (and not as difficult as some might imagine). There are websites that offer to sell you said robes but they seem pricey at the mysterious price fix of $93 (buy a medium quality sowing machine for that!).

I agree.
and you can actually sow it by hand, machine is not necessary.

I'm very happy for you. Welcome there.

Where are they being sold for $93? I'd buy that.

93 pounds this site
www.tau-noir.de/en/tau-robe-men

Here's a simple white one for $60
www.enkicrafts.com/ritualwear/taurobes.html

The other sites I'm familiar with seem to have raised prices over $100. I say sew you own (you reap what you sew).

He's still going to have to sew the details of the robe anyway.

Does cotton count as wool? Vesta says "linen, wool, or silk"

I know this site, but I don't know if it's any help: www.azothart.com/cgi-bin/main.pl?PAGE=52

That one is already complete, no additions needed. (The Practicus robe is wrong, BTW, but the one you'll be wanting to have now, the Probationer's, is correct.)

Yes, but at least it looks like it got the hood right

Omg, perfect! This is much more convenient. Thank you!

Wow!
Totally forgot about the existence of Therion, the band.
Have they released anything new in recent times?

I feels ya on the betrayal angle.

Just a few months ago they released an album entirely in French. But you don't need to ask me! Wikipedia, bro.
