Glamour Witch: Conjuring Style and Grace to Get What You Want

Sophie Saint Thomas. Weiser, $16.95 trade paper (208p) ISBN 978-1-57863-775-1

Saint Thomas (Finding Your Higher Self) returns with a punchy guide to glamour magic for the millennial and Gen-Z witchcraft set. Arguing that “glamour is power,” Saint Thomas urges readers to harness its possibilities and “wield [it] to [their] advantage.” The bulk of the book concerns historic and modern beauty culture with a focus on queer identity. There are overviews of common occult concepts such as color magick and tarot, along with a chapter dedicated to adapting modern beauty practices—skin care, Botox—into witchcraft. Elsewhere, Saint Thomas offers ways she believes glamour magick can assist readers in the realms of beauty, money, confidence, love, healing, and more, and chattily guides readers on the usage of spells and rituals intended to help one, among other things, recover from breakups, improve sleep, celebrate gender identity, and boost immunity. Readers drawn to witchcraft—or simply seeking a fun way to rethink style, beauty, and confidence—will find much to enjoy and more than a few beauty techniques to try. (Jan.)
