The Path of Venusian Arts: Glamoury, Love & Beauty Magick.
Usually when we speak of these sacred and legendary arts, it’s always with bit of mystique and uncertainty. So much has been shrouded in mystery and speculation, with good reason .. until now.
Love Magick is often spoken about in harsh tones which often end in bickering, mockery and often plain dislike. The tea is hot! I'm sure we've all heard stories about desperate women or people willing to do anything for love, enslaving people, stripping people of their consent and in the worst cases getting themselves and others killed. A la femme fatale. This is an intentional deterrent, because it's far too easy to focus on the negative of the feminine in a White Patriarchal society. Magick is a gift, but it is up to the individual to choose how to use it. Power is intoxicating but in the wrong hands it can also be devastating, this is why these sacred arts of those of pure heart and discerning nature.
We rarely get to discuss the lesser-known aspect of these arts, the positives and good it can bring, it's time change that. Love magick is transformative, it can be used to heal relationships, ease heartbreak, deepen and purify friendships, and attract grace and honor. Most importantly it can be used to foster community, compassion, companionship, togetherness and joy! Love magick can also assist in improving poor mental health, with the assistance of science. Rituals of self-care, self-love and personal betterment can elevate the living experience, for all. These are important social gifts that are imperative for the betterment of society. These sacred arts are uplifting. In a world stricken with tension, grief, anger and heart break, these energies are needed desperately, to facilitate healing an change and should not be overlooked or forgotten.
Tales of Glamoury are even more obscure and bordering on outlandish. Tall tales run amuck with wild stories of changing eye colors, changing their entire facial structure, physical bodies and even coloring. Few, seem to understand what it really is.
Glamoury is the magick of Influence & Enchantment.
It is the illusive charm of the fabled girl in fairytales that no man could resist & was willing to die for. The Fame of a Celebrity. The Charisma of the Socialite. The Beguile of Mistress. It is Soft Power, the Popular Persuasive force. In the right hands, the world is at your feet and command. Such power does not come lightly. You can use it to enhance or take control of your life, and become the author of your own fate.
This is a beneficial, powerful & protective skill especially for BIPOC. Glamours can also deflect, counter and sometimes even eliminate or lessen the effects of racism. This is a very useful skill, especially for BIPOC who work in corporate or professional fields and have been sabotaged, sexually harassed or cannot progress due to the color of their skin. For some people, glamours are a method of survival & that should be respected. Glamours have saved my life & others, while enhancing it for the better. It is a powerful form of magic and a handy tool for any practioner to have in their arsenal. It's time for people to have a fighting chance and level the playing field.
Glamoury is also great for becoming more social and meeting new friends. It also pairs well with those wishing to raise their social presence, especially in this age of new media, and works well for aspiring actors, musicians, youtubers, influencers etc.
It IS truly empowering.
Both Love & Glamour Magick demand discernment. No one is perfect but choices should be made with precision and wisdom.
Targeting emotionally unstable or hot-tempered individuals, can make you vulnerable to abuse. This practice demands being cognizant of yours and others mental health. Wisdom of mind and heart is to be cultivated. Emotional discipline is imperative, so you do not make mistakes or fatal errors. Cultivate Self-control and refinement or you will implode.
The practice of Beautification Magick is as ancient as civilization. After all there was once a time, when the practice of using makeup was considered an act of witchcraft. Self-care and personal enhancement even without magick, is a ritual within itself by honoring yourself, listening to your body and being present in the moment. Often this is very hard to do in a capitalistic society that is based on profit not care, and does not see you as a living- breathing human being but a product. Using Beautification Magick can put you back into the repetition and rhythm of self-care, leaving you grounded, well rested and better prepared for life. Obviously, this can have a profound positive effect on a person's lifestyle and mental health. For the neurodivergent, Beautification Magick is a wonderful complement to optimizing your mental health practices.
If you believe in self-improvement and manifesting a healthier more confident version of yourself, then Beauty Magick is for you.
If you wish to be more social and take control of your life, Glamoury is your friend.
If you're struggling to find love, companionship or purpose in this world, then Love Magick is for you.
