Magical clothing is a term that may seem abstract and, to some people, even absurd. Yet magical clothing accompanies us more or less on a daily basis, though we are usually unaware of this fact.

In this article, I will present both the widespread occurrence of “magical clothing” as well as some of the techniques we use to create our own magical garments, which naturally, through a conscious and planned process, possess far greater magical energy than randomly created artifacts.

Each of us has or has had some favorite piece of clothing in our lives – something in which we feel comfortable and have certain associations connected with this particular element of our wardrobe. For example, a leather jacket that we wear with pleasure because we associate it with the character of Indiana Jones, and when we put it on, we ourselves feel a little more like Indiana Jones. We have this positive association with a character we like, through which we ourselves somewhat more identify with that image and the qualities it represents.

Some people also have “lucky items.” For example, a “lucky tie” or another element of their wardrobe. Through a series of events, at some point we developed an association that a given element of clothing brings us luck. Even if this is not an objective fact, it has a positive psychological effect on us, making us feel better and more confident when wearing it.

A commonly existing example of magical garments, which we are usually unaware of, are the vestments of priests of various religions and even the uniforms of uniformed services. In most cases, they do not serve only a practical function – they do not, for example, have camouflaging qualities or provide exceptional comfort of movement. However, they have another key function – they communicate in a visual way the ideas (energies) they represent, and they are meant to give the wearer a sense of belonging and authorization to wield power greater than themselves.

Priestly vestments, like those of any uniformed services, are usually meant to symbolize authority – which is why appropriate cuts and colors are chosen, for example black or navy blue—they are also meant to symbolize other ideas and qualities that are contained in the given attire through the selection of appropriate symbolism.

Another more prosaic example is a gift from someone or simply any element of clothing that, for one reason or another, has emotional significance for us and we associate it positively.

We can call such items magical in the sense that they are linked to a mental construct useful to us and beneficial emotional associations. As is commonly known from the basics of psychology – what we associate positively also works well on our body and mind.

What’s more, there is an element of subconscious influence. The subconscious, for humans, constitutes a kind of constantly present informational field in the background, maintaining constant interaction with what surrounds us. Even if we consciously stop thinking about the fact that a given element of clothing has such and such positive meaning for us and evokes certain associations – we still constantly remember this at the subconscious level. As a result, wearing this type of clothing element, even without thinking about it – we are constantly supported by positive associations generating beneficial energies and reactions for us, releasing in us, even if only subconsciously, more self-confidence, a sense of security, power, positive attitude and faith in the success of our actions.

Above, I have presented how common a phenomenon the unwitting creation of something we can call magical clothing is – that is, clothing to which certain mental attributes and associations have been assigned that work in a desired way for the owner wearing them.

Of course, not counting priestly garments, which depending on circumstances may have slightly greater or lesser “magical” properties (however, there is the problem of the enormous power of beliefs and associations with them from people standing in opposition to those religions, which would require a separate article to discuss) – most unconsciously created “magical garments” have negligible magical influence.

Most of them are not created with clear intention, expressed Will of the Magician, and with the use of conscious direction of Power, which could give them truly strong magical influence.

That is why I created True Magic clothing, within which the magicalization process proceeds in a planned and purposeful manner, thanks to which our clothing has a strong, positive magical influence.
