Glamour spells for Influence and Success

For this spell you will need

1 package of Influence Bath Crystals
1 package of Look Me Over Bath Crystals
1 lucky stone

1 bottle of Influence Oil
1 bottle of Look Me Over oil
1 package of Influence incense

1 package of Look me Over incense
1 package of Influence Powder
1 package of Look Me Over Powder

1 red candle

A picture of yourself

A mirror


This spell is meant to give you that sparkle, where people are just drawn to you, and when they are drawn to you, they will also fall under your influence, and be easily persuaded.

Mix together the Influence and Look Me Over Bath crystals. Take a tablespoon of that mixture and mix it into a quart of water until it dissolves. Take a wash cloth and soak it in the bath and use it to wipe your body, starting at your ankles and going up to your neck, and including your face if you desire. 

Take the remaining water, and use that on a lucky stone you have purchased in advance. This can be any stone, but birth stones are highly recommended. This stone can be loose, but if it is a pendant, or a ring, or a center piece of a necklace, where people can notice it, it works better..  You can drop the stone into the water, or just sprinkle a small amount with your hands. Dry the stone, and then anoint it with the combination of the Influence and Look Me Over oil.

Allow your body to air dry, and when you’re dry anoint your body with Influence and Look Me Over oil. Start with your feet and rub a small amount on the soles of your feet, behind your knees, just above your navel, on your wrists, the bend of your elbow, at the meeting point of your collarbones, and behind the lobes of your ears. Then put on clean fresh clothes, put on your stone or have it in your pocket, or purse etc… and mix together the Influence and Look Me Over Incense, and burn some, and waft the smoke over yourself and walk through it.

Take your picture, and write around your image “Look At Me” and “Heed My Wishes”
Put the picture down and sprinkle a ring of Influence and Look Me Over Powder over the words and around your image. Set a candle holder on top of this. Anoint the red candle with Influence and Look Me Over oils. It can be any size of candle, but the best results I have experienced are if the burn time aligns with the time you will be out. A short evening or an interview can work well with a four hour chime candle. A six hour taper can be good for a day at work or a long evening. 

While the candle burns, take out a mirror. Any size mirror, whether a compact or hand mirror, or even set the candle before a vanity mirror. Look into the mirror, either with the candle reflected in it, or holding the mirror before the candle and looking into the mirror. Focus your gaze on your eyes and face, stirring the power of glamour and fascination within you. Know that your presence and focused attention radiates personal magnetism, drawing whoever you desire to fall under your influence.

I chose a red candle for this spell because of how Red is a powerful and attention grabbing color. You could use other bright colors as well, such as yellow, orange or pink.

An interesting crossroads ritual

The following is the text of a crossroads ritual from Harry M Hyatt’s 5 volume collection of Hoodoo Conjuration Witchcraft Rootwork


This was titled by Hyatt as Directional Star

If they had an idea of traveling , like if they wanted tub go north or wanted tuh go to California or Oklahoma – well , they haven ‘t got the money to go with . So they goes , walk out tuh the forks of the road an ‘turn dere face eastwards and would pray for the Lord to give ‘them that directional star in their mind that they might be able to get a hold of the luck that would – even if they didn’t have the money , that would give them that trip . An’ ah’ve had them to say that why they shortly after doing that, why they would meet up with some rich person who would wish for them to go as a chauffeur or as a cook or as a maid to such a place , to such a state. And they would go with that person to that state , make a trip jest by going to de cross of the road – dem forks of the road an’ looking eastward and making that prayer while they were standing there looking eastward ,for that luck . [ St . Petersburg , Fla . , (988) , 159 4:2. ]

My summary:
Go to the crossroads and face east. Make a prayer to the Lord to give them that directional star so they could make the journey to where they wanted to go. They would pray for the directional star in their mind that they could get a hold the luck to get that trip.
Afterwards an opportunity would present itself where they would be able to make that journey.

A 29 day ritual practice to develop psychic abilities and bring fortunate dreams

If you want to improve your psychic abilities, undertake the following practices for 29 days. You can start at any time, but it will be easier to keep track if you start at the first of the month, or if you can start at a particular moon phase, as a complete cycle will return you back to that moon phase where you started. 

  1. Drink a cup of mugwort tea every day. Mugwort is an herb known to aid in psychic abilities, and it is common for some people to drink it as a tea. (check any for contrary recommendations for yourself) If mugwort is not your choice of herb, star anise also makes a good psychic herbal tea.
  2. Take a picture of yourself and place it under a candle holder. Using a white candle of any kind, tealight, chime, or even a glass encased vigil candle. Fix the candle with Psychic Vision oil or Aunt Sally’s Lucky Dream oil. As the candle burns each day, spend 5-15 minutes sitting in silence and letting your inner voice communicate with you. This may take the form of visions, sounds, smells, tastes, sensations, or just a knowingness. 
  3. To help with dreams, keep a dream journal. Keep it nearby while you sleep and whenever you wake up, whatever you recall of your dreams, write it down in the journal. If you don’t recall anything, write this down as well, as it shows that you’re wanting to recall and can stimulate recall. This journal can be a notebook, sketchbook, even an app on your phone, or sound recording. 
  4. During this 29 day period, take 4 spiritual baths using psychic vision or lucky dream bath crystals. Collect your bath water and dispose of it at a crossroads while facing towards the rising sun. 
  5. To help with dreams, you can write down the 23rd Psalm on a sheet of paper. Fold this up and place it under your pillow while you sleep. This will help bring fortunate dreams that can give you insight, lucky numbers, guidance to resolve problems and many more.

During and towards the end of the 29 days, you will find your psychic abilities to have increased and noticeably as well as an increase in dreaming and lucky or prophetic dreams.

Techniques of Empowerment

Visualization
Using Visualization as means of empowering yourself, here are two simple methods to break restrictions and limitations and empower yourself with mastery and authority.

Visualization #1 – To break restrictions and limitation

See yourself bound by ropes and chains. These restraints are expressions of things, internal and external, that are holding you back.
Begin to breath deeply and relax and see this spark of energy building up in your stomach. With each breath it becomes stronger and brighter, until it begins to rise up and flow into your heart. With each breath the spark pulses and grows at your heart, building up pressure, like a pressure cooker. Keep breathing deeply and relaxing, letting that pressure build and build. If you spend 2-5 minutes doing it.
When you feel this pressure reach a peak, let it explode out from your heart area, like an exploding bomb. It shreds the ropes and breaks the chains into pieces. The piece fly away from you, out into an empty void. You are liberated and free.

Visualization #2 – To empower with sovereignty and authority and protection

this energy that just exploded out of you now also flows through your body. It fills every fiber of your being, flowing down to your toes, and up to the crown of your head, and flowing into your arms all the way into your fingertips, and circulating back before it is pumped out again, like blood through your circulatory system.
However, this energy also starts to flow out from the pores of your skin, and as it does so, it begins to shape itself into clothing around you. This clothing inspires respect, and signifies power and authority.

It could be a three piece business suit in a color that you love. It recalls to mind capable and influential business people who can manage difficult situations and resolve problems with easy. It could be a military uniform of a general or an admiral or captain. You are the top of the hierarchy. The buck stops with you. What you say is a command and people are expected to follow your orders and directives, and be attentive to your every whim and even your presence. Maybe its the robes of a King or Queen, either from history or present day, or from fantasy media, or something you envisioned and drew on a character of your own creation. It looks regal, the indication of sovereignty which commands respect, causes people to recognize your authority, and submit to your commands. Whatever the outfit, it communicates to everyone saying “I’m the boss, I’m in charge, you will respect me”. Around that outfit is a slight shimmer of a golden radiance surrounds you, as though you are touched by the divine, having divine grace or favor.
You are on a dais, raised up slightly from the crowds around you. Almost spotlighting you but it also lifts you up, putting you beyond the reach of low opinions and attitudes. People also just naturally look up to you, seeing you as a leader, a guide, an inspiration.
This energy continues to flow out from you and taking shape around you as a clear wall of force. You can see through it easily, seeing what you want to achieve, the resources you desire, the road ahead that you want to walk. You can clearly see your allies, and good things that can help you. However this wall blocks out evil influences, the gazes of the jealous and envious, the evil eye, hatred of your enemies, and malign influences that restricted and limited you before. Those ropes and chains are blocked by the this wall, unable to make you small and restrain you again. You are strong, capable, powerful, and protected.

If you have problems with visualization as an image, I recommend just writing this down, or reading it out loud when you want to do it.
For the first visualization, if you want to tie in things and make them more physical, you can loosely tie yourself with ropes and chain in order to feel those bindings on your body and breaking yourself free from them.
For the second one, see if you can find a picture of the desired outfit. If you can draw it yourself, great, but you can also write out a detailed description of it to help yourself in connecting with it more strongly. If you can create it or buy it, you might also try that. When you wear it, just practice feeling powerful and awe inspiring in it.
You can also use visualization #1 with uncrossing work. I have found it to be very effective for that. Afterwards when you are blessing yourself or working to bring luck or power, using visualization #2.
