Yay! I think I found what I want for my ritual robe. While I usually practice
skyclad, there are times I want to practice in a ritual robe and a headcovering. I got two new headcoverings that I really like, they are
sarees that shipped from India. I have one in
blue and one in
maroon. Keep in mind I only bought the saree, which is the long cloth you can drape over your shoulders or over your head.

Like I said, I already bought the sarees, but I haven't bought what I want for the ritual robe, yet, because, well, I just found it today and don't have the money this late in the month. The robe I found is actually an Islamic piece of clothing called an
abaya. An abaya is a kind of cloak observant Muslim women wear. However, I plan on buying it,
cleaning it with sage, and blessing it. I still have to do that to my new sarees and
my new altar cloth. The abaya I want for rituals is called a "
Wrap Around Abaya." Obviously, I won't be using it the same as a Muslim woman, because I'll be using it as a ritual robe, not a cloak to wear outside for modesty. It's just perfect! Imagine it in white with no hijab (headcovering), since I already have my own headcovering (the sarees).

It's on sale for only $20.99, too! I really want to get this next month, and I hope that it's still on sale then.
Great post!
ReplyDeleteI really like the concept you have.
FYI: the long scarf Indian women wear is called a dupatta, and a saree is the long length of fabric that makes up the skirt.
