Temple Sigil CNT Degree System Home
The Temple Dress Robes are a semi-formal style of robe worn by many Correllians for events that do not require the formal State Robes. More comfortable than the State Robes, Dress Robes were originally designed for use in the Traditions Shrines. Rev. Áine Massie, HPs of Crystalline Star Temple designed the first Dress Robe for her Shrine and the style was subsequently adopted by others.
The Dress Robe is a basic black robe or black tunic and pants, with a colored sash over one shoulder. Each Temple and Shrine has its own specific color, though some do overlap since there are only so many colors. The Temple’s color and sigil are considered heraldic in nature.
Depending on the style of the sash chosen the Temple patch will be placed on the lower portion of the sash in the front. Our sash is purple, representing spiritual development, occult wisdom, healing and psychic abilities.

Different Temples wear the Dress Robe shoulder sash in different ways. In some
Temples the shoulder sash is worn vertically, and is belted by the Degree Cord.
In other Temples the sash is worn diagonally. The width of the sash varies
somewhat as well.
Often the Temple sigil is placed on lower end of the shoulder sash, though not
all Temples do this. In some Temples Degree sigils are worn at the lower end of
the shoulder sash. Sometimes the sash is simply worn plain.
