Glamour spell

Glamour Magick

Greetings.

I want to talk about glamour magick in the way I actually understand it, because the word gets used a lot and it does not always mean what people think it means.

Glamour, in the old sense, is a working over perception. It is how you are received. Sometimes that includes the physical body. It also includes how you walk into a room, how you speak, how you hold yourself when people are looking at you, and whether you believe you are allowed to be seen at all. I have used all of that for a long time. I have also done the ordinary work that sits underneath it. Sleep when I can get it. The clothes. The hair. Showing up when I would rather not.

People ask me why my looks have held. I am not twenty. I have lived a life. I have had children and grandchildren, two countries, a business, spirits, and the kind of public work that does not always leave you looking rested. I do not tell you it is only good genes and a cream. I believe I am here to give a face to the Left-Hand Path. That matters to me more than a compliment.

There are still a lot of people who think this style of magick is only for a certain group. A certain age. A certain look. A certain kind of darkness that has to look a particular way or it does not count. I am here to say the presentation can be different. You can be a woman, a mother, a person with a real life and a real body, and still work with these spirits properly. If someone who thought this path was not for them sees me and realises they do not have to become a cartoon of a dark magician in order to belong here, then that is part of the work. That is part of the glamour too.

I also believe I have been rewarded for that. Not in a fluffy way. In the old way. If you agree to represent a current in public, and you keep your end of it, that current has a way of looking after the instrument. I do not pretend I did my face by myself. I work with spirits. I give offerings. I say thank you. Gratitude and offerings are not the extra at the end of my beauty practice. They are the centre of it. I do not ask for presence, beauty, health, a voice that holds, a face that can go on camera, and then give nothing back.

Who I honour for this

These are the ones that have a real place in this for me.

1. I work with Astaroth for the public face. Presence. Composure. That feeling of being looked at and not folding. When I ask her for beauty and health, I ask so I can do her justice when I stand in front of people and in front of this coven. That sentence is not decoration. That is the agreement.
2. Lilith is different. I go to her when the glamour is not about being liked. It is about not making myself smaller. Sexual sovereignty. A kind of heat that does not ask permission.
3. Gremory if the point is to be read as desirable, and I mean that in a bodily way, not as a vague compliment.
4. Paimon when the issue is not prettiness, it is authority. Being taken seriously when you speak. That matters more than people admit.
5. Buer when the face is not the real problem. The body is tired, the vitality is down, and no amount of pretty work is going to cover that. Health first, then the gloss.

I still keep Friday and Venus in the work. Charm, social ease, the old planetary day. Roses. A proper scent. I can be Luciferian and still know what day belongs to what.

And then there is Saraswati.

Saraswati

I keep an altar just for Saraswati. I have done for years. It is hers. I do not pile everyone onto one table. What I put there changes. Some weeks it is nothing much. Water, a flower, a candle. Other weeks I am asking for more, so I give more. The talking stays the same.

I talk to her. That is really the heart of it. I do not only turn up with a set prayer. I will stand there and say, look, I need help with my speech today. Or my memory is not holding. Or I have to record and I can already feel myself getting sloppy. Speech and memory. Those are the two I ask for most. Anyone who has taught, or sat in front of a camera, or tried to keep a thought in their head while people are watching, already knows why. You can look fine and still lose the sentence.

Saraswati is a Hindu goddess. Knowledge, speech, music, the arts. I did not invent her for the website. I have worked with her for decades. In her own tradition, students put their books in front of her. Musicians put their instruments there. Children are often taken to her when they start learning their letters. A lot of families honour her on Vasant Panchami, late January or early February. Some people also honour her during Navratri. I am not doing a full temple puja every morning. I am just telling you how I live with her.

She is usually shown in white, with a veena and a book. White and yellow belong to her. Flowers. A lamp. Books. Music. People keep that space clean. They offer fruit, milk sweets, sometimes kheer. They put the actual book or the instrument with her. I like that. It is not vague. You are putting the work in front of her.

On my altar it might be a white cloth, a candle, water, incense, a flower, a piece of fruit or a little sweet, and whatever I am in the middle of. The notes. The script. A book. A pen. Sometimes I have music on in the room. I change the water. I do not leave old flowers sitting there. That bothers me.

If I need to remember something, I put the notes with her and I tell her I need them to stay with me. Then I sit down and learn it. I am not asking her to do my studying. If I need to speak well, I read to her. A page. A bit of the script. Then I go and record, or I take the meeting, or I write the thing I have been putting off.

You do not need much to start. Her picture. A clean cloth. A candle. Fresh water. Something living, a flower or a fruit. And the thing you actually use. Book, pen, microphone, whatever it is. Talk to her. Tell her what you need. Give her something. Then go and do the work.

Astaroth is how I am seen. Saraswati is how I think and how I speak. I have been in that relationship a long time.

What you can expect

Where beauty starts, for me

I should say this first, because it sits under everything else on this page.

To me, beauty comes from the inside. I do not mean that as a soft slogan. I mean the state of the mind, the voice, the energy, and the confidence you are actually carrying. That is what people meet. The face is part of it. It is not the whole of it.

Saraswati is knowledge and the refinement of mind and voice. When that is working, you can think clearly, speak clearly, and hold yourself without falling apart. That projects the confidence your looks need.

Lakshmi ( the other Hindu goddess I have worked with for decades ) is the grace that can sit on top of that: fortune, ease, a presence that feels blessed rather than hungry. One steadies what is inside. The other lets it show as a life that looks looked after.

I work with both currents in different ways. I do not ask a spirit to paste another person’s face onto me. I ask for the inside to be sound enough that the outside has something true to wear.

Glamour magick can change how you occupy a space.

People look a little longer. They listen a little better. You feel less like you are apologising for being there. Hair and skin can look more intentional. A night can go better than it had any business going. A camera can feel less like an attack.

What it will not do is replace the surgeon, the sleep, the food, or the work you will not do in the daylight. It will not make a specific person fall in love with you. That is a different working. It will not rebuild a field that is full of other people’s energy. If you are crossed, tired, and leaking, people do not read you as magnetic. They read you as drained. In that case you uncross and protect first, then you come back to glamour.

You can do a glamour for one night. That is legitimate. You can also build something that lasts, and that takes repetition, looking after the body, and keeping a relationship with whoever you called. I would rather you know which one you are asking for.

So next, I’m going to take you into probably the most important working when it comes to Glamour Magic. This is just my advice. It’s not perhaps where you are able to show up right now……

The first working: the mirror

The first beauty working I would give you is a black magick mirror working, and I mean that in the old sense. You and the glass. No audience.

You have to be able to look in the mirror and know your worth. That sounds simple. It is not. I have watched a lot of people try to do glamour work while they still cannot stand their own face, and it does not hold. You can change the hair and the clothes and still walk out of the house as if you are waiting to be corrected. Other people feel that.

What I am talking about is psychological strength.

• Can you look at yourself and know who you are.
• Can you know your value without needing someone else to confirm it first.

For many people, insecurity is not a little mood. It is years of being measured, compared, spoken over, left, or taught that they were too much or not enough. I understand that. I have had a lot of years to work through this myself, and for multiple reasons I am not 100 percent confident. I want that said honestly. I am not standing here as someone who never doubts. What I am is confident enough that other people’s opinions do not faze me the way they used to. I know who I am when I look in the glass. I know my value well enough that a comment, a look, or a silence does not take the whole floor out from under me.

That took time. It took living. It took looking at myself when I did not want to. Mirror work is always the strongest if you can handle it, because there is nowhere to hide. You are not asking a spirit to lie to you. You are meeting the person you are actually taking into the world. If that meeting is full of contempt, the glamour has nothing solid to sit on. If that meeting has some respect in it, even on a bad day, you have something to work with.

The other piece, for me, is that I know when to turn it on. That is really the key with beauty and glamour magick. There is the private self, the one who is tired, who has history, who is not performing. And there is the self I take into a room when I need to be present, clear, and seen on purpose. I can find that switch. I did not always have it. I built it. Glamour, in that sense, is not fake. It is chosen. You are not pretending to be a different human. You are stepping into the part of yourself that can hold the room.

If you cannot look in the mirror yet without falling apart, I would not force a long ritual. I would start with the looking. Short. Honest. Again and again. Worth is not a speech you recite at your reflection. It is a steadiness that arrives after you have stopped arguing with your own face every morning.

As an occultist, you have to be able to hold your own energy in front of the spiritual world, and you have to be confident in that energy. I do not mean looking polished. I mean being able to stand there as yourself and not collapse. When you go up to a mirror, or when you stand in front of a spiritual entity, you are presenting yourself. If you are not confident in your own energy, you are going to feel not worthy, and that comes across. Then when you ask for something, why would a spirit help you if you do not even feel like you are worthy of that yourself.

That is why I keep talking about the mirror before I talk about a spell. The mirror is where you find out whether you can hold your own energy at all. If you cannot hold it there, you are going to struggle to hold it when you are standing in front of a spirit and making a request. You can say all the right words and still come across as someone who does not believe they should receive what they are asking for.

This is a deeper topic, which we can get into later on. I wanted it said here because it belongs under beauty and glamour as much as it belongs under any other occult work. You have to be able to stand in your own energy before you ask.

The second working:Your Energy

How do people normally react when you walk into a room? Are people normally excited or neutral in your energy, or do you somehow just piss people off with the way you are with your energy without even saying a word lol. 

It might take you a minute to think about this and reflect upon it, but think about some times when you walked into a room and someone said something shitty to you and you had not even had a chance to do anything to that person…. many times, this is just your energetic imprint on the room!

When I’m doing energy workings on somebody new, and especially famous people or people who are in sales positions or positions where the judgment of someone else can affect how far you go, the first thing I do is energy cleansing of some type. On our site, we just pop it under the banner of aura cleansing or chakra cleansing …. but it is tailored to really look at this specific aspect of how you make other people feel, or more specifically, how your energy reacts to other people.

So you might be saying, “Is this truly a beauty spell?”

And my answer is absolutely yes.

It is manipulation of the environment, which is what you want to do with beauty or Glamour Magick, whether you’re going to call this Black Magic or White Magic

1. How your energy feels around another person.
2. How your energy makes someone else feel when you walk into a room.

That true energy is extremely important, and it cannot be underestimated.

This is the part people skip because it does not look like a beauty spell. I am talking about the field you carry. Reiki, pranic healing, that whole body of work exists because the body is not only flesh and personality. You walk in with a charge. You walk in with holes, with heat, with heaviness, with calm, with hunger, with grief you have not cleared. Other people feel it whether they can name it or not. Some people walk in and the room tightens. Some people walk in and everyone feels a bit more able to breathe. That is not manners. That is the state of your energy.

I have worked with energy healing for a long time, including pranic work, and I take this seriously in beauty and glamour because it is often the missing layer. You can know your worth in the mirror and still arrive in a room so jagged, so depleted, or so full of other people’s residue that people are uncomfortable and they do not know why. They just know they do not want to stay near you. Or they feel pulled toward you in a needy way that has nothing to do with the kind of presence you meant to have. That is the field talking.

So you work on it. You learn to clean your own energy, to balance it, to stop leaking, to stop scooping up everyone else’s mood and taking it with you. If you can do that yourself, through reiki, pranic healing, or whatever energy practice you actually know, do it regularly. Not only before a night out. As part of how you keep yourself fit to be around.

If that is outside of your ability right now, that is exactly why we have the aura and chakra cleansing on the website. Get the field cleared and balanced so other people are not just triggered by having you near them. Then the rest of the glamour work has a place to land.

How you present yourself includes the hair and the clothes, yes. It also includes whether your energy is clean enough that someone can stand next to you and feel steady instead of agitated. That is a glamour. It is one of the real ones.

If you are not ready for those first two

I understand that. I really do. Not everyone is ready to sit in the mirror like that, and not everyone can work with their own energy yet. I know people still want a spell. That is normal. If you have come to a witchcraft site, you want something you can do. I am not going to ignore that.

What I will give you is a spell to help you build confidence in your own beauty. That is the point of it. I need to talk about expectation first, because if we skip this part, the spell will not meet you where you think it will.

When it comes to a beauty spell, what is your expectation. I want you to answer that properly. Not the polite answer. The real one.

A lot of people come to this kind of work because they want the way they look to change. They want the face to be different, the body to be different, the whole impression to be different. I understand that hunger. I also need you to look at what sits underneath it. If you already have low self-confidence, would you even believe your look if it improved. Would you be able to see it as good, or would your mind immediately go to someone else and decide that is the standard.

That is a question you have to ask yourself before you do any beauty magick. If your confidence is already low, the problem is often not only the face in front of you. It is the way you refuse to accept that face. You can be given a better night’s sleep, better colour, a nicer response from people in a room, and still not register it as beauty because you are measuring yourself against a person you have decided you would like to look like.

So if the answer in your head is, I expect the spell to change my physical appearance, you are going to be very disappointed. I am saying that now so you do not do the work and then decide magick is useless. A beauty spell can move energy. Sometimes that energy does touch how you are seen. Sometimes it touches how you hold yourself, and that changes how you look. What it will not do is hand you another person’s features. And even if something in your appearance did shift because of the energy you raised, the next question is still waiting. Are you going to compare yourself to someone else anyway.

That is the key challenge.

If you are going to stand next to a photograph, or a memory of who you were at twenty, or a woman on a screen, and use that as the test of whether the spell worked, then the spell cannot win. You will move the goal. You will find the next face. You will keep yourself just short of allowed.

I want you to hear that without thinking I am telling you not to care how you look. Of course you care. Presentation matters. Glamour matters. I have spent years on this path as a face for the work I do, and I know what it is to want to look like I belong in the room. The issue is not wanting beauty. The issue is whether you can recognise your own, or whether you have already decided that beauty only counts if it looks like somebody else.

So before you do the working, sit with that. What are you expecting. Do you want help seeing and wearing what is yours. Or do you want a different person in the glass. Those are not the same request, and they will not give you the same result.

A basic beauty spell

This is a simple working for confidence in your own beauty. I am giving it in steps so you can follow it.

I also want you to hear it as both magick and mind work, because that is how I actually understand it. I am an occultist, and I am a clinical psychologist. When I look at a beauty spell, I am not only looking at the flower and the glass. I am looking at the story you have been repeating to yourself, often for years, every time you see your face.

If that story is “not enough,” a spell will not overwrite it in five minutes. What a spell can do is give the mind a different experience to stand in. You look, you stay, you touch your own face without attacking it, and you say a request that is possible. That matters. The mind learns from what you do repeatedly, not from what you wish you believed.

 

What you need

• A mirror you can sit with.
• A small bowl of water.
• A flower, or a little milk or honey as an offering.
• A cream or oil you already use on your skin.
• A pink or white candle only if you want one.

Step 1. Sit down and tell the truth about why you are here

Do not do this in a rush at the sink if you can help it. Sit. Put the water and the offering in front of you. Light the candle if you are using one, and place it where it is safe and where you can still see your face.

Before you touch anything, remember what you are asking for. You are here to build confidence in your own beauty. You are here to practice staying with yourself.

Step 2. Look, and do not turn the looking into an assessment

Look at your face for a minute before you do anything else.

This is the hard part for a lot of people. When confidence is low, the mirror is often not a mirror anymore. It becomes a courtroom. You stand there and prosecute. You scan for faults. You compare. You remember who once made you feel small. The body tenses, the breath gets shallow, and the old conclusion arrives on cue.

You are going to do something different. You look, and you stay, without turning it into a verdict. You will hear the commentary. Of course you will. You do not have to argue with every sentence. Notice it, and come back to the simple fact of your own face in front of you. That is attention, not attack. You are interrupting a loop. You are also making a surface the work can actually sit on.

If a minute is too long at first, begin with less. Stay long enough that you have not immediately abandoned yourself.

Step 3. Mark the places that carry the story

Dip your fingers in the water and touch your forehead, your throat, and the centre of your chest.

I want those three included because beauty, in the way I mean it here, is not only skin. The forehead is the mind, the comments, the pictures you keep comparing yourself to. The throat is how you speak about yourself, and whether you are allowed a voice at all. The chest is what you feel when you walk into a room, the worth you either carry or leak. Water on those three places is a way of saying: this working is for the whole way I meet myself, not only for the surface.

Step 4. Put the cream on as if you are allowed to look after this person

Warm a little of the cream or oil in your hands and put it on your face the way you normally would, except this time you stay present.

A lot of people can care for everybody else and then handle their own face with contempt. I want you to feel that contradiction if it is there. Talk while you do it. Not a performance. A declaration you can stand behind.

You can use this:

I am doing this for my own beauty, not somebody else’s.
Let me see what is already here.
Let me have enough confidence to wear it.
I am not asking to become another person.
I am asking to stop abandoning this one.

If that is too much to say at once, use less. Even: this is my face, and I am allowed to inhabit it.

What you are doing is pairing touch with a different sentence. The old pairing was reflection plus attack. This pairing is reflection plus staying. Magick likes repetition. So does the mind.

Step 5. Give the offering and sit with what you have just said

Give the flower, or the milk, or the honey. Sit for a few more minutes. Look again. I do not need you to feel beautiful. I need you to notice whether anything in you has eased, even slightly. A little more breath. A little less urge to get up and get away from the glass. That easing is part of the result. Confidence often arrives as a reduction in attack before it arrives as a feeling of prettiness.

Step 6. Close it cleanly

Put the candle out if you used one. Do not blow it out. Pour the water onto the earth or down a clean drain. Take the flower outside when it is finished. Do not leave a dead offering on the table and walk past it all week. You have just asked to stop abandoning yourself. Do not abandon the working either.

How often

Do this more than once. Three nights is a good beginning. The point is not to collect a perfect ritual. The point is to give your mind enough repeated experience of staying with your own face that the old conclusion is not the only one available.

Calling the goddess

If you want to take this a step further, call the goddess first and ask her to be present while you make this declaration.

I do that when I want the working to be a relationship, not only a moment with my own face. You can call Astaroth, Saraswati, Venus, Aphrodite, or whoever you already honour for beauty, speech, and presence. Call the one you actually work with. Do not pick a name because it looks good on a page.

Before you touch the water or the cream, look at her image if you have one, or simply speak her name as if she is in the room. Ask her to be present. You are not demanding a result. You are asking her to sit with you while you tell the truth about the beauty you are claiming.

You might say:

I am calling you to be here with me.
Please be present while I make this declaration.
I am not asking you to give me another face.
I am asking you to stand with me while I take up my own.

Then do the rest of the working the same way. The difference is that you are not saying those words into an empty room. You are saying them in front of her. For me, that changes the weight of it. It is harder to sneak out of the request, and it is harder to turn the whole thing into a private argument with the mirror.

When you are finished, thank her. Say it simply. I do not like to ask a goddess to witness something and then walk away as if she was never there. If you already have an altar for her, do this there. If you do not, you can still call her. Be respectful. Be clear. Then make the declaration.

A prayer to Astaroth

Astaroth, I am calling you.
Please be here with me.

I am not asking you to make me into another person.
I am asking you to see me.
See this face. See this body. See the life I am actually living.
Give me a blessing I can wear.

Help me have enough confidence in my own beauty that I can take it into the world.
Help me know when to turn it on.
Let my presence do you justice.
I will not hide and call it humility.

Hold me while I am out there.
Let people meet the current I am meant to carry, not the version of me that shrinks.
I know I represent you when I represent myself.

Thank you for seeing me.
Thank you for the blessing.
I will not waste it.

Astaroth, I honour you.

A simple Friday blessing

There are a lot of very easy beauty spells you can do, and I do not want anyone leaving this page feeling as if they have failed because the deeper work is too much right now.

The mirror, the energy, the confidence working, calling the goddess to witness you, those are there when you are ready. You do not have to climb all of that in one night.

If the rest of this feels far too hard, you can still begin. Every Friday, take a pink or white candle and light it in front of the goddess you love. Sit with her for a few minutes. Ask her to see you. Ask her to give you a blessing. That is enough. You are allowed to start that simply. You are allowed to be received without having to earn it through a long ritual.

When you are finished, thank her. Put the candle out, and go on with your night knowing you showed up. If that is all you can do for a while, it still counts. It is still a beginning, and it is still you putting yourself in front of someone who can see you.

I have been on this path long enough to know that glamour magick is not a personality transplant. It will not stop time. What it can do, if you treat it as a relationship and not a trick, is help you wear the face you actually need for the life you are living.

For me that face has a purpose. I am supposed to stand here as a Left-Hand Path woman who does not look like the stereotype, so that other people can stop waiting for permission to begin. I am grateful for that. I keep the offerings going because I am grateful. I look after the body because the body has to carry it. And then I go out and do the work.

Wherever you are on this journey, I totally get it, and I support you. I don’t want everyone to be like me, but I’m here to touch and move and inspire you just to take action wherever you are on this path xxxx

Witchcraft Style Beauty Spell

For those who just want a witchcraft spell, here it is!

In many ways this is a spell about loving yourself, hence the use of pink candles and love oil. In the use of incantation you are making a link with the principle of beauty and with the Goddess of Beauty in one of her many forms.

You will need

• AT LEAST ONE PINK CANDLE, MORE IF YOU PREFER
• A HANDHELD MIRROR
• LOVE OIL

Method

Dress the candle(s) with the love oil, working towards you since you want to

feel differently about yourself.

Have in mind your ideal qualities of beauty as you do so.

Light the candles and stare deeply into the mirror. See first the person you are now. Visualise the change you want.

Then ‘see’ the person you would like to be.

Recite this incantation out loud:

 

Sacred flame as you dance

Call upon my sacred glance.

Call upon my better self,

Give me [your request]

 

Blessed flame shining brightly,

Bring about the changes nightly Give me now my second chance

My beauty and glamour please enhance

 

Power of three, let them see, let them see, let them see.

 

You can now snuff out the candle and relight it the next night, burning it for at least an hour.

Repeat the incantation at least three times.

 

The power of visualization is a very strong tool. Each of us has an  inner beauty which if we work with it is a tremendous help in daily  life. Once we are prepared to recognize it for ourselves it becomes evident to other people. This spell accomplishes that recognition.
