Will robes be available at BALG?
I have a black cotton Grim Reaper style robe. Haven’t used it in much longer than a decade. I found it prevented me from Magick unless I was wearing it, so I stopped and since then my Magick hasn’t. I got away from all of that and use my street cloths.

I use whatever I wear at the moment, does it count? 
I advise against robes they seem like they can catch on fire pretty easily.
In some paths they are needed tho. 
If the spirits don’t say you need it then it’s not needed imo

Then I’d pick the path with the black robe, I hate red 
I try to do Magick on the cheap and quickly. Life is complicated enough as it is. Why add to that with robes, altars and a Lotus Wand? Magickal weapons are very important. That’s why you must make and/or consecrate your own. By using these weapons you’ll learn so much – like the fact that they’re just props. My left hand pointer finger is my Wand and I never leave home without it. Ditto the pocketknives I carry can be used as a Magickal sword/knife. If needed I can get a cup from the bin and a piece of bread/cake as a Pentacle.
All the old complications which festoon the traditions and litter the grimoires are there to weed out the dilettantes, consecrate the will (you have to use the blood of a female Gob-smacker captured on the day and in the hour of Mars) or to cause head zap - like a midnight ceremony in a cemetery does.
And always remember: If your Magick isn’t fun you’re not doing it correctly!
