The question was asked of me recently “why is it necessary to wear robes in ritual”? It is an interesting question and I would guess the answer depends on what type of Pagan you are, what type of ritual it is and the pathway you follow. For me personally there are various answers. If I am at home working a ritual in my house or garden, I probably won’t dress in anything fancy. My personal rituals are often spur of the moment and don’t follow any script. It works for me. Rarely will I use any magical tools either, in fact some of my best (from a personal point of view) rituals have been completely visualised. However, when we (Kitchen Witch) hold open rituals I do think about what I am going to wear. I am the High Priestess and I usually lead the ritual. And by ‘lead’ I mean that my lovely team write the ritual and I ponce about giving out orders… Our rituals are held during the spring, summer and autumn so the weather is usually good (usually, not always!). We gave up trying to hold winter rituals as more often than not they had to be cancelled at the last minute due to torrential rain, storms or even on one occasion so much snow that the entire country park was closed.
