The Book of the Law

The Robes

The robes of the Order as worn in this line, from Probationer to Master of the Temple. Crowley published no single instruction for the robes; what follows is the tradition of the line of the Reconstitution, drawn after the researches published at thelema.dev, which reconstruct the designs from Crowley’s 1909 sketch, from the notes taken by Regardie as his secretary, and from the instruction of the Outer College. The robe conceals and protects the one who works; it is the silence of the Work, worn.
