Whenever I see glamour spells, theyâre usually in regards to makeup or feminine maintenance. This isnât a bad thing – those spells are wonderful, and I love reading them (especially given the fact that I see them as being useful for myself at times). But often I find that thereâs a bit of a lack of glamour spells for men.
Iâm talking about glamour spells for shaving, for cologne, and the like. And while this is a tip and meant to be brief, I wanted to put a few out for my male followers who want to keep up a masculine appearance, but want to work a little magic into their daily routines!
Shaving:Â Depending upon your shaving method, there are plenty of ways to work in glamours. I personally use a safety razor and shaving soap (you know, the old-fashioned kind with the ceramic dish and solid soap bar inside that you froth up with water and a hog-hair brush). If you use this method, choose scents that you associate with that which you want to bring into your life (patchouli for enhancing masculine fertility, dragonâs blood for strength, et cetera). If the type of soap you buy has scented options, this is a great way to work it in. If not, be careful to check and see if it is safe to work essential oils into your lather. (It is important to use safe oils and in small amounts, as shaving causes micro-abrasions on the skin; if it is not a safe oil, or youâre using too much of it, it will cause the skin to dry out.)
A similar method can be applied to other lathers and creams, though these often come with plenty of scents.
Working sigils into makeup is a frequent form of glamour spell, and shaving can incorporate this as well. With a small amount of the lather, you can draw the sigil onto your skin before spreading it out – spread the lather out in clockwise circular motions while visualizing and focusing your intent into your skin and lather.
Shaving can also be a spell unto itself – the scraping away of negative traits or energy. As you shave away your hair, visualize the negative energies or negative traits coming up off of your skin and being removed from your body.
And I should point out that these shaving tips apply not only to the face, but to wherever you are shaving. That said, if youâre âmanscaping,â I would recommend against using the oils unless youâre absolutely certain that theyâre safe, and recommend choosing scents and sigils for increasing potency, male sexual energy, et cetera.
Colognes: As I get into this, I want to make a huge point here. Guys, whether youâre into other men, into women, or into the whole spectrum, scent has no gender. What can often be universally agreed is that some body sprays simply arenât appealing. First step to scent-based glamour spells is to avoid scents that make you smell like the inside of a middle school (or even high school) locker room after PE or a football game. For the majority of ladies and men, thatâs just not an appealing scent (and sprays are often more damaging to your environment than is immediately realized).Â
That said, deodorants and colognes are a great way to work some glamour into your daily routine. Select scents that you associate with your goal. If youâre using a stick deodorant, you can mark a sigil on the bottom of the container, or you can take a moment to hold the deodorant in your hand and empower it with your intent. The same can be done with colognes and perfumes (yes, perfumes⌠again, scent has no gender). Floral and fruity scents can work wonders, so choose floral or fruity scents associated with your intention.
Skin and Hair Care: It is important to remember that while society on the whole doesnât seem to focus much on male skin and hair care, it is still vitally important. Using moisturizers is beneficial, and sigils and the like can be worked into your skin – scents add further benefits for this. As you wash and moisturize, again use your intentions and energy to confer those intentions into your spell.
Though for the most part, shorter hairstyles are the norm for men, that isnât to say that glamours canât be incorporated. Sigils on your products, empowering your shampoos and pomade, rinsing your hair with essential oils. All of these can be done to further reinforce your glamours.Â
Clothing and Accessories: Whether you wear jewelry or not, this is still an option for men. If you wear jewelry, you can empower your accessories with your intention. Clothing can be marked with sigils on the tags, or washed with appropriate oils. Anything that works with your appearance can be incorporated into a glamour spell!
Last point I want to make is that glamour spells unto themselves are gender neutral. If thereâs any take away I want there to be with this witchy tip, itâs that everyone can be beautiful/handsome and can incorporate magic into their routine to add to that. Confidence and humility are sexy, and by embracing your personal style and adding your own magical flair, you can further empower these aspects into your life!
Here are some magickal tips for people who, like me, stim for whatever reason.Â
Charge your stim toys and slime in moonlight to cleanse
When playing with kinetic sand or slime focus on putting your negative feelings and energies into it as you squeeze and twist them in your fingers. Be sure to cleanse afterwards
Play with different toys, slime, sand, etc based off of their colors for easy color magick such as orange slime for motivation, green squishy for learning/education, yellow sand for inspiration, etc
Enchant your squishies, fidget cubes, spinners, tangles, etc to bring you peace of mind, relaxation, focus, motivation, or whatever else you may need it for
Use Glitter bottles for meditation and scrying
Drag sigils on your fidget spinners, so every time you use it, you activate the sigil on it
Draw sigils in kinetic sand or slime then to activate squish and squeeze it
Use plushies based off of their appearances such as what animal, food, or fruit they are based off of
When making slime, stir clockwise to focus on putting intent into the slime you are making such as for it to bring you peace of mind or focus when playing with it. Or stir it counter-clockwise for intents like banishing negative thoughts or anxiety when using the slime
I love deco slime so add in items that relate to your intent like bead color and shape, glitter color, confetti, etc
For those of us with wandering minds, use fidget toys or stim toys to help you focus when chanting, working on a spell or meditating
After an exhausting spell, ritual or curse use your stimming toy or object of choice to help relax and rest after a spell well done.
Use glitter bottles, orbs, and wands/sticks to represent the stars in the sky or other cosmic bodies for cosmic witchcraft
Glitter wands also make wonderful wands! Especially for spells related to motion, water or wind, the sky or stars and anything related to the colors in the wand
For those who love paint mixing, choose your colors based off of intent and mix them together as the spell itselfÂ
Use gifs and videos of stimming to help you during spells and keep you calm if needed or to just add added intent from the things in the videos
Chewing stim toys are great for anger relief, think about all of your frustrations and anger going into the chew stim or anythign else you wish to banish from yourself, then soak in water or cleanse in the sun/moonlight
Orbeez are great for color magic and mixing them with your fingers and hands to charge and activate the spell. Just do not ingest
Hope this helps all of my fellow stimming witches! Stimming toys, slime, sand, etc etc are all great to use in witchcraft. I personally love slime and deco-slime. I always use it after or during a spell to help me keep my focus.Â
Hope you all have a wonderful day dears!!! ^0^

Sparklers can be used for happiness and a boost of positivity.
They can be used for any spells relating to youth or childhood.
Sparklers have a wondrous, hypnotic feeling. They can be used in spells and glamours to attract admiration or attention.
Surprisingly, I have found that they are excellent in banishing as well. I had some unwanted guests in my home, so I rubbed a sparkler with Flying Devil Oil (not necessarily recommended) and lit it. They left within minutes!
Finally, sparklers add a bit of energy to any spell!
things to do to increase psychic abilities. these are what i personally do as a claircognizant empath to enhance my knowledge of the world around me đťđđŤ
pull a daily tarot card, rune, or other divination device
sit down and paint something impressionistic. âbut James!â you say, âIâm not an artist!!â well, bullshit. you donât needa be artistic for this one, kiddos. i just use an index card and a small brush, then pick whatever colors im feeling that day. is it swirly? edgy? scattered? dark? light? interpret this, then reflect later to see if it was correct
think of a person youâre gonna see in the upcoming day. what outfit are they wearing? is their hair different? is there something in their teeth? write these things down, then see later if they are correct
meditate. yes yes i know, the dreaded tip. if you have adhd like me, or you just canât sit still, do it while stretching, walking, cleaning, showering, or doing any monotonous work. even if itâs only for 3 minutes. just focus on what you hear, see, smell, feel, etc. it helps, trust me
keep a dream journal (yea i know, another dreaded tip)
write down every little thing that could maybe possibly be considered psychic. get a call from someone you were just thinking about? guessed what song would be next on shuffle? write it down
speaking of song guessing on shuffle, do it!! itâs simple and fun, even if you donât get it right every time
spend more time with your divination tools, even if you arenât actively using them. put them near your pillow (okay no lie this tip reeeeaaaallyyy helps), take them to work, put them next to your bath, whatever works for you
raise your vibration. and i know this can mean a lot of things for different people, and it also sounds rly hippy, but listen. what i mean is, constantly check yourself- your surroundings, your random thoughts, your emotions, etc. set an alarm to remind you to be more aware, if you gotta. if you are aware of whatâs going on externally and within, you will be more prone to noticing your psychic tendencies
make your own sigils. this is one of the easiest form of magick, and can be done by anyone. make sigils for everything- âi am psychic,â âi am confident,â âi am suspected of secretly being Godzilla,â honestly everything. the point isnât to make sigils that necessarily work, itâs just to sit down and put an intention into physical form. this is kinda like the painting one, except instead of thinking abt what could happen, youâre stating what will/is happening, which is important.
place a piece of amethyst on your forehead for a few seconds every night while laying in bed. doesnât have to be too long, just long enough to let your muscles relax and let out all the tension from the day
and thas it! feel free to add more if you can think of something i didnât put
