Ok, so I love how in acotar Nesta is so stubborn that fae glamours don’t work on her. Like, my girl is such a stone cold bitch that even her subconscious told the fae magic to fuck off. But it got me thinking, what if this doesn’t just apply to her with glamours, what if she sees the whole world like this. Like, we see especially in acosf how well she understands how the social game works and how to cut people the deepest. But what if that’s because something in Nesta is so strong willed that she sees through all the bullshit niceties of the world. What if Nesta lives in a world that is several shades darker then the one her sisters live in.

if you’ve read Heros of Olympus, it’s like how Nico saw Tartarus as it truly was rather then how Percy and Annabeth saw it. Like, you know that part where Percy sees Tartarus without the mist and can’t believe Nico didn’t go crazy? I think Nesta might be like that.

Witchcraft Basics: Glamours

What is a Glamour?

A glamour is a kind of spell you cast on yourself to change how people perceive you. Glamours aren’t like the kind of magic you see in the movies--the same goes for all the witchcraft we talk about here. It’s not flashy. You can’t use a glamour to change your eye or hair color. You can, however, use them to be perceived as more beautiful, more confident, tougher, smarter, more delicate, the list goes on. I’ve written a couple of glamour spells before--mostly beauty spells like my spritzer or beauty oil. But there are other kinds of glamours and other ways to achieve them.

Oftentimes, glamours are performed along with your getting ready ritual. It’s a kind of magic that lends itself well to the mundane things we do everyday, and to the science of our world as well. You’ve probably heard of the placebo effect. The simple version of it is: if you believe something is happening to you, you’ll begin to feel the effects--it becomes real. The intersection of witchcraft and science is fascinating to me, and glamours in particular are where I see it overlapping the most! You’ve got magic and science working on your side with these, and the end result is often that you feel more secure in yourself, which is something we should all strive for.

How to Cast a Glamour

So you’ve crawled out of bed, or off of the couch, and you’re about to get ready to go out. You want to look a certain way--be perceived a certain way, and you want some magical help with that. This is where casting a glamour comes in, and there are a ton of ways to do it. The simplest way, with no outside preparation or ingredients, is to manifest your intent while getting ready for the day, however it is you do that. Wash away the worries and debris of the day before when you shower and wash your hair. Focus on whatever quality you desire sinking into your skin as your wash your face, moisturize, shave, etc.

Choose your outfit according to what you’re trying to manifest--color associations work well for this, as does jewelry, especially if you’ve enchanted it. If you wear makeup, it’s tailor made for casting glamours. Use color associations on your eyeshadow and lipstick--pink for beauty, red for confidence, a nude if you’re trying to go unnoticed. Think of your foundation as well, the foundation of your spell. Whatever perception you’re going for, infuse the foundation with it and put it on. If you use concealer, use it to “conceal” any faults, or whatever it is about yourself you’d like to downplay today. Weave magic and intention into your hair as your pick, comb or brush it out for the day. Do you have a favorite perfume or cologne? Use it to cover yourself in your intention. And the best part is, after the day is over, you can end the spell by washing it all away!

Of course, you can do a glamour via more hands-on means as well. Potions, salves, baths, charms, enchanted meals, the list goes on. Tea, coffee and smoothies lend themselves well to glamours, as you can take them on the go and let the magic flow through you on your way to your destination. You can create a spray for your skin or hair, an oil to anoint yourself with, or even create a satchel to carry on your person in order to exude whatever quality you’re seeking. As you may have noticed, a lot of these glamours are reusable, as opposed to the cosmetic type glamours listed above. Both have their uses, and you can layer these methods as well to achieve what you desire!

Types of Glamours

What kind of glamour might you want to cast, though? Well, here are a few examples!

-beauty/attractiveness

Probably the most common type of glamour, these are used to make you appear more attractive to people you may interact with.

-confidence

To look more confident, even when you’re not particularly feeling that way. These are good for job interviews, meetings, presentations, etc.!

-toughness

If you’re trying to look stronger or more intimidating than you are, for safety or otherwise, this might be the kind of glamour you’re looking for.

-intelligence

Need to come off as more eloquent and intelligent? Well I’m sure you’re plenty smart, but if people have been doubting you, a magical boost might give them a nudge in the right direction.

There are plenty more, and these can overlap and combine to achieve what you’re looking for! Magic is malleable like that. Just be clear about what you need, or you might get mixed results. This goes for any spell, however. ;)

Tools/Ingredients for Glamours

Not sure what to gather beforehand? Here are a couple of ideas!

Makeup (especially eyeshadow and lipstick)

Perfume

Cologne

Lotions

Jewelry

Pins

Moisturizers/Skin care products

Roses (beauty)

Garlic

Hot Sauce/Hot Peppers

Dill

Banana (Success)

Avocado (Beauty, love)

Apple (Beauty, love)

Strawberries (Love, happiness)

Peaches (youth, happiness)

Cherries, pitted (beauty)

Vanilla

Bay leaf (love, passion, harmony)

Basil (wealth,love, faithfulness)

Oregano (ward against negative energy, happiness, peaceful energy)

Thyme (positivity, prosperity)

Parsley (happiness, passion, protection)

Sage (prosperity, mental clarity)

Rosemary (beauty, love, general magical boost)

Marjoram (happiness, love, money)

Sea Salt (purity, protection)

Pepper (passion)

Crushed red pepper (passion, a spell booster)

This is just a list to start with! You can use the edible ingredients to make teas, baths, smoothies, soups, etc., and infuse other ingredients with your intent. Glamours are versatile, and the way you cast them can be, too! The only real limit is your imagination!

(I'm cleaning up my blog and reposting some of my spells/etc that were once hosted on my website.💕)

Invisibility In Witchcraft

Invisibility is something we see in all different types of media for a very long time - superhero comics and movies, Harry Potter book and movie series, fairy tales and lore from several countries. It is one of those powers that even in modern science they have been trying to create true invisible cloaks and armor for military use. Though invisibility in literature and movies is not the same as when we refer to it in witchcraft. So let us talk about this aspect of magic today, a brief history and even some modern day spells.

What is Invisibility Magic?

Invisibility magic is magic of concealing oneself, others, places and objects from detection. As stated above it is not in the literal sense of you vanishing from sight however think of it like a cloaking device - it helps you go unnoticed or makes you less likely to be observed. Of course take this with a grain of salt - magic has its limits. However, an invisibility spell can help you as an additional buffer of protection. Often times, invisibility spells are to ensure special items you have hidden away go undetected such as your grimoire on a bookshelf or sigils of protection scattered about your home, it can also be used for oneself or others to help them travel in safety.

History

Old manuscripts and grimoires dating back to the 1600s have been found describing spells for invisibility. These such spells include chanting, potions and rituals said to help the caster ‘vanish’ from people’s views or travel unseen. One of these manuscripts has been archived if you wish to see it here and another here please keep in mind these are old scripts and may not be safely done today - do your research on ingredients and if they are safe to use modernly.

Though invisibility in witchcraft is a bit harder to dig up, invisibility has a long and rich history in religion, folklore and tales. Many creatures, spirits and persons of lore, legend and story through the centuries are said to vanish without a trace or go unseen by normal people.

In the cases of witchcraft though it is harder to find information on it, as listed above some old manuscripts were found listing methods of invisibility. Some other methods listed have been carrying the heart of a bat or a toad or frog under one’s garments (or their right arm) can render you harder to detect. Others speak about how black hens and chickens may be related to invisibility by using their feathers as charms. Mercury historically was used as a method to be deemed invisible, with using it to make jewelry or charms a popular method - however perhaps not safe in modern day terms. Another grimoire called “The Second Book of the Secrets of Albertus Magnus” states that wrapping an Ophethalminus stone in a Laurel leaf will render the wielder invisible. What is an Ophethalminus stone? It is commonly accepted and believed he was referring to a Lapis Lazuli stone.

Correspondences

Of course modern day invisibility calls for more modern day correspondences - to help insure the user and caster are using ingredients that relate to what they seek. Below is a brief list of some correspondences - please research before ingesting or applying anything to the skin. Research possible allergic reactions, side effects and complications of medicinal herbs and plants. Research all stones you use before subjecting them to heat, water or oil.

So, Glamour Magic.

In my research, this is what I’ve concluded on the topic of Glamours. There is plenty of debate as to what a Glamour actually is, whether there are different types, whether they’re toxic and manipulative. This is merely my views on the subject and as always I encourage you to cross reference.

So what is a Glamour spell? Glamour spells are a form of craft which change how yourself and other people perceive you. They do not actually change your appearance beyond the mundane aspects of the spell. For example a commonly used Glamour tends to be an intentional positive affirmation. It is an affirmation that is charged with the energy and intention of changing your level of attraction.

A Glamour that would actually change your physical appearance via the mundane steps of the spell would be wearing nail polish with the color corresponding to how you want to be viewed by others. Yellow would represent joy whilst red would correspond to sensuality and passion.

━─━────༺༻────━─━

Here are a few Glamour spells you may be able to cast right now!

-

>Enchanting Jewelry

Step one: Cleanse. There are many ways you can cleanse your jewelry via covering it in salt for a few hours, smoke cleansing, water cleansing or all of the above. Get those negative energies as far from your piece of jewelry as possible (note: Make sure your jewelry won't rust whilst cleansing if you choose to use methods other than smoke.

Step two: Intention. Hold your jewelry cupped within your hands and push into it the intention and energy of what you’re trying to achieve, be it general attractiveness, confidence, etc.

Step three: Wear it! Wear the jewelry with pride and when you’re feeling down about yourself, remember your spell has your back.

-

>Nail polish

Step one: Decide. Choose an intention and research what color corresponds with said intention. You can wear nail art with different colors for more complex spells or simply wear pink to look more innocent.

Step two: Wear it! It’s literally that easy.

-

>Makeup

This one is sort of a combo of the other two. Allow me to explain.

Step one: Cleanse your makeup. Unfortunately your options are pretty much limited to smoke cleansing lest you ruin your makeup. If you’re able to get creative and find another means of cleansing that’s great! However, If you’re able- smoke would be the easiest

Step two(revisited:) Intention. Hold your makeup item cupped within your hands and push into it the intention and energy of what you’re trying to achieve, be it general attractiveness, confidence, etc.

Step three: Boost. For an added boost use color correspondence. Pick your intention, and research what colors correspond. If you’re looking to appear bold and confident, use warm colors for your eyeshadow such as red or orange. Add yellow for a boost of child-like happiness others will envy.

Use black eyeliner for protection, brown to make you appear dependable, blue to appear bold and collected. Etc, you can find limitless charts on color correspondence on Pinterest or Tumblr.

━─━────༺༻────━─━

Remember Glamours are meant to boost what you already have. So look deep within yourself and remember: you are beautiful, you are stunning, you shine and nothing will ever change that.

Fun fact! If you mix natural sunscreen (zinc oxide) with chemical sunscreens (there are many chemical variations) it actually makes the sunscreen less UV protective, AND can cause a toxic breakdown of chemicals with UV exposure. (Well, toxic to zebra fish anyways, which is what they use to test how it would react on human skin).

Science is neat, and as much as we like to mix glamours potions and charms using household lotions and makeups and essential oils, it's important that we know what we are mixing and how it will react on our skin and interact with sunlight ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🔥

This is your sign to go through your closet as the seasons shift. 🌞 Remember to donate. Local thrifts/consignment shops are better than chains.

10 for the glam game? I think that one wasn't taken yet :D

Thank you! This is one of the extra ranged DPS glamours. I'd probably have it in use for machinist or dancer if I had more than one set of level 90 gear lol.

I have a soft spot for the neo-Ishgardian tops, though they aren't quite her preferred style. And while I like the leather pants with it, I'm not sold on the boots with this (I have really gotten my money's worth out of those pants, btw, lol)
