Glamour Magic for Transformation and Self-Love

Glamour magic is not about looking fabulous all the time, getting your crush to fall in love with you, or becoming something other than yourself.

It is about expanding your own energy and seeing yourself through a new perspective. Imagine how incredible it would feel to revere yourself as the embodiment of strength, authenticity, and confidence. To begin each day feeling secure, trusting yourself, and comfortable in your skin. 

Glamour magic has nothing to do with vanity or false appearances and everything to do with loving yourself to the point that the act is sacred. Once you master the art of glamour magic, you'll find that your confidence is at a level you never imagined you'd experience, your boundaries are stronger than ever, and those you allow into your life are supportive and excited to be in your presence just as much as you are overjoyed to be around them. When you sprinkle glamour magic into your day-to-day life, loving yourself transforms from a duty to an all-encompassing act of self-worship. When practicing with intention, this magic becomes a transformative ritual that helps you shed the skin of shame and negative self-talk, and step into the fully embodied version of yourself that has always been within reach. 

Glamour magic can be described as energetic shape-shifting.

You can tap into your energy and emphasize certain aspects of yourself to draw in your desires like magnetism, abundance, protection, and strengthened boundaries. Little actions like painting your nails black to call in strength or gold to draw in financial security are simple ways to begin a potent journey with glamour magic.

This practice isn't about changing your physical features, it's about changing the way you perceive yourself, which in turn changes how you are perceived by others. When you feel good, you look good and that radiant energy can be felt by everyone around you. It's an abstract form of magic that is rooted in intention, self-care, and rituals to transform your relationship with yourself and alter your energy. Pampering yourself, adorning yourself with ritual-infused jewelry, and listening to affirmations influence the way you walk, talk, and can uplift your presence in a room. All of this magic starts with you, how you desire to be witnessed, and being vulnerable with yourself so that you embrace the spotlight once it's on you!

This form of magic is intrinsically Venusian as it urges you to adorn yourself in fabrics, jewelry, colors, and scents that make you feel strong, luminescent, soft, or powerful.

Venus has associations with aesthetics, beauty, love, and values and glamour magic is intrinsically related to these subjects. As you begin your journey with this form of magic, ask yourself about your relationship with Venus. If you need inspiration check out this blog to find some questions to reflect on. 

The goddess Aphrodite, or Venus, is known to have shapeshifting abilities. This skill allows her to change her appearance to fit the ideals of the person in front of her, so she is perceived as beautiful by them. You can embody this energy by "shapeshifting" to step into the version of yourself your inner child would be proud of because nobody is worth impressing more than yourself. 

Tending to yourself is a devotional act, a moment of worship, and a sacred experience. Be sure to be intentional, as any act of self-care can easily become a glamour magic ritual.

Simple Glamour Magic:

All glamour magic begins with an intention. Take some time to think of an energy you'd like to radiate. Think of an affirmation you'd want to whisper to yourself as you get ready for the day.

For example: I radiate confidence

And think of ways you can integrate this affirmation into your routines.

Shower Spell: 

"I wash away the version of myself I once was, and am reborn as the confident being I am now."

Enchantment Spell:

"I enchant this ___ with confidence. Each day I use ___ I am adorning myself with confidence."

Dressing with Intention:

Each day of the week is ruled by a different planet, which has associations with different energy that you can use to strengthen spells or help you align with the natural rhythms of the Universe.

This radical self-love will transform your relationship with yourself and the world around you. Each day is an opportunity to treat yourself better, to worship yourself without shame with consistency because you deserve it. The magic that exists in glamour is that it isn't about becoming someone else, it's about revealing the effervescent being you already are.
