There's no absolute requirement. Traditionally, magical robes have been made from linen or silk, but those often prove impractical.
From a practical angle, a light-weight wool-cotton blend is very nice, wears well, etc.

I appreciate this information… as for no absolute requirement does that mean I can use anything for the gold, pentacle and hexagram … like shiny material?

(Vivid colors are usually thought desirable, so felt is often used.) BTW I assume you know that several pictures of the Probationer's robe survive from a hundred years ago.

93 - i have *exactly* that ? about what material is used for the pentagram and hexagram... i was thinking satin was in order, but found some of the colors available at the store weren't what i was looking for (in terms of shade). so, your recommendation is FELT?
