			As Beau Brummel would have said if he had practiced Greater Magic, there are times when clothes make the magician. Have you noticed, for instance, the number of black practitioners who take their calling so seriously that they ''always'' dress in black from head to foot? On some magicians this looks sinister and imposing and gives them an aura of mystery. Others merely look sallow, or like defrocked priests whose (defrocked) housekeepers still buy their wardrobes. If you ''must'' dress in black, show some style! A well-cut black suit with an inverted pentagram in the lapel is far more imposing than a cheap motorcycle jacket, an old ''Black Sabbath'' t-shirt and your faded black Levis.

			Ah, rituals! How many times have those of us who attend group rituals seen these "Adepts" of the sartorial. '''Sleazies''' who shop for ritual garb at Biker or Bondage Boutiques. There are enough zippers, snap rings and grommets to outfit a tailor, and everything is a size too small and made of extremely uncomfortable materials. Rarely does a handsome stud or a voluptuous temptress dress in this style; rather we see those who think their forte is sex or wonder when it might better be sentiment. '''Back of my closet''' types leave their robes wadded up in a ball somewhere. If a seam rips, it's never mended. If food, mud, semen or other bodily fluids make their way onto the robe, it is rarely (or never) washed. Sometimes, though not always, the '''let's pretend''' folks belong to the Society for Creative Anachronism. They are likely to come to a ritual in doublet and hose or dressed as a member of a Mongol horde. I've yet to see one show up in a robe with stars and moons and sporting a pointy hat, but I'm sure I will someday. '''Mr. and Mrs. Normal''' don't have or won't wear ritual garb. They stand there in rainbow tie-dyed shirts and walking shorts while you're trying to concentrate your will on the task at hand. I don't know about you, but I simply can't concentrate in the presence of tie-dyes!

			So, what would Magister Brummel advise a modern practitioner to wear to a ritual? And how would he answer the question, "Why dress up at all?" The serious magician understands that most of us must alter '''something significant''' in our surroundings in order to practice magic. Sometimes this is done by meditation, sometimes with incense or music, or any combination of the above as well as other tricks. But the concept of changing one's '''being''' with one's clothes is very old. Priesthoods of many religions have had robing rituals for millenia. A good example is the list of prayers which Catholic priests used to recite as they put on their vestments. The theory behind this is that these prayers would enable the priest to '''transform himself''', to celebrate the rite as a '''priest''', not as a mere man.

			Here are a few things to consider when buying or making a ritual outfit. Is it comfortable? After all, you may have to wear it for a long time, under circumstances which may be hot or cold, and where you may or may not be able to, or be required to sit or stand. Is it sturdy? You don't want to raise your arm to swing your sword and hear the armholes rip out of your garb, do you? (Though Compleat Witches might consider the tricks of indecent exposure in this light.) Is it washable (back of the closet types, take note)? Is the color appropriate for the ritual we're performing? There are times when other colors can be better than black, depending on the ritual. A good, screaming red or fuschia works well for lust, and green after all, is the color of that wonderful stuff we all do rituals to obtain, and I'm not referring to salad. You might look up occult color correspondences, but better yet go with the personal resonances these colors evoke in you. It is crucial that you feel empowered by your outfit, so go with what makes you feel best, what reaches your deep self.

			Do I buy it, make it or have it made? Robes can be hard to come by. Whatever you do, '''don't''' buy those cheapo things that are available in mall toy stores at Halloween. If you live in a relatively laid-back area, robes are sometimes available at religious supply houses. In some towns, though, one must show clerical credentials in order to shop at such establishments.

			Robes are often available from occult shops, but they are always expensive and sometimes shoddy. If you can find one in a mail-order catalog, you might get a real bargain. Ladies can sometimes find nice robes in import shops or in the lingerie department.

			Sick of shopping? Want to make one? Any simple caftan pattern will do, or you can just make the lapels on a bathrobe pattern longer, make the sides more ample, and provide a very secure fastening. If you're feeling more ambitious, Butterick and other pattern makers have a nice line of Halloween costumes. (I '''know''' I've advised you against those, but keep reading!) If you remove all the touches which tart them up into a Hollywood cartoon vision of evil, the costume of Maleficent from ''Snow White'' or a generic wizard outfit can be quite impressive. I must warn you that this will probably be even more expensive than buying a robe, especially if you make apattern which calls for satin or satin-like fabric. After all, you'll end up needing about eight to ten yards of fabric, depending on how much body you need to cover.

			You also may wish to swallow your pride and seek advice from a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism. When they aren't dressing like Mongols or medieval lords, these guys often have the snazziest and most appropriate ritual garb of any magicians I've ever seen.

			Remember, in traditional folklore, the devil is often a well-dressed, elegant individual! Nuff said? Go forth and shop, ye sinners!

			<blockquote>coming soon from Feral House

			TORTURES & TORMENTS<br>OF THE<br>CHRISTIAN MARTYRS

			The centerpiece of this Feral House issue is the reprint of Antonio Gallonio's 1597 text detailing exquisite tortures inflicted on early devotees of the cult of suffering. Through the centuries this text has been wielded by salacious priests who delighted in mentally abusing the holy, and by pornographers catering to the sado-masochist trade. This edition augments the Sadeian text with the original engravings of martyrs smiling under stress and two dozen illustrations by the best (sickest) graphic artists of our apocalyptic era. Morality is further made queasy by contributions from the most prolific and publicized mass murderers of the 1980s, Richard Ramirez and John Wayne Gacy. As counter-ballast, an appendix includes a historico-forensic investigation into the physical death of Christ.

	B) "God" accuses Satan of requiring unorthodox actions from his clients, including, but not necessarily limited to, virgin sacrifices, compacts involving one's "soul," and meetings held at unconventional hours. The only thing ever sacrificed to my client by virgins is something they were most anxious to rid themselves of in the first place. It would appear the only person who places value on virginity is the person who no longer suffers from its pressures. As to the statement about "souls," is not the contract with "God" also for the "soul"? As for the meeting times of our covens, is that not the legitimate concern of its members? Surely the first practice noted (see article 1) would justify any effort to achieve safety.		# "God" attempts to undermine legitimate competitors through the systematic annihilation of said competitor's customers and facilities, via both personal action and the acts of his followers.

			== A New Satanic Solid? ==
			''Julian Karswell''

			While perusing the ''New York Times'' on 5 September, I chanced across an intriguing article by Malcolm W. Browne detailing an investigation of quasicrystals, a form of matter previously thought to be impossible outside of theory. This matter is midway between the uniform lattice structure of crystals, and the chaotic jumble of atoms which comprise all other solids. The atomic patterns of quasicrystals are ordered in subtle and non-repetitive arrays which exhibit "fivefold symmetry," which had been considered impossible. Researchers also suspect that the electron spectral structures of this substance will be in accordance with the Phi ratio, which we see in our beloved pentagram. Is this a cloven hoofprint, stamped in the very structure of this matter?
