Glamouring

[sara_super_id]

Glamouring is the magic of appearing to others differently than before. Whether it be the magic of cosmetics, a boost of charisma, or something more mysterious: do you do glamour witchcraft? how does it work? why do you do it

There is no greater glamour than love, happiness and/or confidence.
When I walk into a room, filled with love and happiness, everyone comments on how great I look, on how much weight I've lost (in atuality, none), etc. It's the smile, the posture, the "I'm fabulous, how are you?" attitude.

This comes from knowing you are an amazing and wonderful person.

The spell? Look in the mirror daily. Say to yourself, "My name is_____, and I am worthy of being loved." Say it until you believe it, and once you believe it, live it.

That is one of my favorite spells, I have seen it help a few of my friends a lot.

Is that really a spell though, or just turning your life into a more positive outlook that can cause your inner beauty to shine?

The strictest definition of a spell is a spoken or written word that causes magical change.

spell
2    /spɛl/ Show Spelled[spel] Show IPA
-noun
1.
a word, phrase, or form of words supposed to have magic power; charm; incantation: The wizard cast a spell.
2.
a state or period of enchantment: She was under a spell.
3.
any dominating or irresistible influence; fascination: the spell of fine music.

Since this spell also affects how other people see you, I think it fits, although its not the most occulted form. I don't like the idea that all magic is self help, but I wouldn't deny that some self-help strategies could be magical as well. If the phrase or incantation changes the influence you have over others (fascination, domination, irresistible), as this spell does, it is even more suited for the term spell. I also like the use of a mirror, it reminds me of the magic mirror in Snow White, who is the fairest of them all? certainly when working as it should, the mirror told the queen it was her.

What is a spell but intention and words which invoke change?
It's a spell.

[ianphanes]

A verbal affirmation can be a spell, if it is spoken with proper intent (will, energy, etc.). The effect can be enhanced by speaking it in front of a magic mirror in a ritual room.

I love this. :) Not so much a spell, but a positive affirmation. Takes a bit to believe, but said enough, yes, it does at least help!

What is the definition of spell? I don't want to overload the comm with posts today, but on a slow day, I think I will put that up as a topic discussion.
