Glamoury Options

I'm not sure if this is the right thread to post this in, but if it isn't, could someone move it please (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).

Anyway, i was wondering, does anyone know anything about glamoury and casting glamours, it's something that came up in a thread i made called 'attaining vampire qualities', but i'm not sure where to start, does anyone know of any good books or sites where i can find out about it (i've done some searches but can't find too much good information on them).

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Glamour magick is simply doing a spell or an enchantment to make your self more attractive either physically or in the minds eye....more often than not it affects the way the brain process works when someone of the opposite sex sees you....I believe (and this is just my opinion so none of this is official) that we all give off vibrations like a radio station for example, and the brain uses these vibrations it recieves to decide on whether the person is "nerdy" or "cool" or whatever....well by using magick you change what you give off therefore people find you more attractive...affirmations tend to do the same thing but they affect the way YOUR brain works rather than others...I personally prefer the latter and if you would like I would be happy to pm you 2 affirmations that have worked wonders for me when it comes to getting with girls, in fact now it comes so naturally I rarely say them but they are still stuck in my head to this day as if written on stone lol.

You don't need magick, per sae to perform Glamour. It's more of an action than any system of complicated ritual or spellwork. Tell me, do you know how to manifest your presence?

How do you become glamorous? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush2.gif)

Glamour is a perception that is created to alter the reality of one's self in the eyes of others. We see it in everyday life. A good example would be the reaction we get from others when our moods change. If you feel confident or attractive people will want to be near you whereas when you are depressed they tend to be edgy around you. Glamoury is the ability to give off this perception at will. As your skill increases you will even be able to change aspects of yourself. You can hide scars or change your eye colour. You must however remember that this is not a physical transformation but rather a manifestation of how you want people to see you.

This all sounds very interesting but what are the exact steps needed to practice this form of magick? Anyone know?

The easyiest way to start is to try a confidence glamour.

Do something that you are really good at consentrating on how the success makes you feel. Then take that feeling and shield yourself with it. notice the compliments you get (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

once you can create that perception at will you can start to think about the harder stuf

Sounds like a good experiment Ilmatar...I'll give it a try. Thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Glamoury is one of my favorite kinds of magic. It's so useful, and so versatile. I've used glamours to make a big entrance, or to slip in unnoticed. I've used it to enchant, impress, and intimidate. It's simply a matter of deciding what image you want to project, and then projecting it. I most recently used it to get rid of a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses who would not take a hint. After my sighing, checking my watch, and acting bored and annoyed didn't get the message across, I threw a glamour to make my presence intimidating, like a mighty goddess standing beside a pesky mortal. The guy started stammering over his words, sweating, and acting nervous, and they were gone in less than a minute. lol I'd feel bad, except they deserved it. What a waste of time.

I would like to add that a very nice method of self-glamoury is simply believing that you look a certain way, by method of not allowing yourself to think otherwise.
What I mean is, if you wanted yourself to be essentially invisible, you would envision yourself invisible from first a third person perspective, and then expanding it to as many perspectives as you can, holding them all in your mind at once. This might be hard to do at first, but it should come naturally soon.

As you might imagine, this pretty much requires all of the sorcerer's attention if it is to be flawless, but is very potent, since from my experience sorcery is mostly subjective. You may concentrate on it less and risk a little more if more complicated tasks are being performed. I'm not sure how well this works for anything other than invisibility, actually, but it makes sense that it would work with other things.

To prove the example, a few years ago I was playing...capture the flag (I'm so mature) with about 20 friends, and used this to simply walk to the other side, take the flag, and walk back. No running, no rush...we were playing on an open soccer field and nobody saw me. People were amazed. And then, I did it AGAIN. The very next round.

The disadvantage is that the other glamours in this thread are more permanent; this is gone with your concentration, and it can be tricky to do complicated things.
