In episode 139 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kate Belew & Kristin Lisenby reflect on the magick of perception, ritual adornments, and glamour. They consider blue eyeshadow as a spell, clothes as armor, and self-expression as a form of witchcraft. They talk about the glamours cast by fiction, fashion, and the fairies.
