Glamour Witch: Conjuring Style and Grace to Get What You Want
An empowering, sex-positive guide to glamour magic with spells and fashion advice for all budgets and body types.

Sophie Saint Thomas knows fashion and glamour and how to use them to make magic happen. "Vanity is not a sin," she writes, "but a tool of power to be embraced. Costume is power, and through fashion, makeup, and other glamour magick tools, we can step into such power."

In Glamour Witch, Sophie offers a history of glamour magick from a modern perspective complete with a bounty of glamour magick spells. Her message is that not only can you have fun with your appearance—be it a sparkly David Bowie-esque getup or a laid-back wood nymph vibe—but you can also use glamour to express yourself and get what you want.

  • People are turning to this form of self-care more than ever.
  • Men are increasingly being included in wellness, fashion, and jewelry trends.
  • It’s high time that more people know that you can use your dress for power before some idiot tries to use it against you (insert throwback to being called to the principal’s office for dress code violations).
  • Embracing glamour and dress is no longer a tool of repression but a tool of expression—and this book will teach you how, at all price points and for all genders.
