Question for Pagans who are part of a Tradition: What regalia does your trad have and what are its meanings?
Pagans of any stripe (including Wiccans in a Tradition), what types of regalia do you have? For instance, my Trad has certain color robes and cords for different levels of initiation, various natural necklaces are worn by women of certain rank (amber for first degree, jet for second, amber and jet for third). We have garters and bells or buckles for hived groups, etc. Just curious about other Trads and kinds of Paganism and what they use.

As you know I'm not a part of any trad, but just want to say your regalia sounds really nice. The only thing related to my spirituality is my pentacle ring.

We had black robes which were the standard-ish; but we shook things up a lot. The trad was heavily rooted in the dramatic arts, so a lot of thought was put into a costume for the enactment or whatever dramatic part we were playing that week. We often wore street clothes, too, because most of our outdoor rituals were in Central Park or at Coney Island beach-- robes were a little too conspicuous and drew unnecessary attention.
Cingulums divided ranks/office. White for postulate, red for first degree, blue for 2nd, purple for 3rd & our HP & HP wore purple braided with silver & gold (respectively). The HPS had a silver circlet. We all got an identical simple pentacle on initiation.
