The glam witch is a modern twist on the traditional depiction of witches. While witches have historically been portrayed as sinister and ugly, the glam witch embraces her beauty and uses it as a powerful tool. She is enchanting, with flawless skin, long flowing hair, and mesmerizing eyes. Every aspect of her appearance is carefully curated to exude allure and charm. The glam witch is not only visually stunning, but she also possesses a strong and captivating presence. She has a natural ability to command attention and draw people towards her.
Around 2009, my practice as a Wiccan became lackluster. At this point, I had been practicing solitarily for eight years, only learning from the books I was reading. I moved up to Chicago from the south suburbs and thought I would finally have the opportunity to meet other witches and maybe join a coven. My excitement halted when I realized that was not going to happen. I tried connecting with fellow witches in the city, but each road I took led to a dead end. The city was proving hard to navigate socially. The people I was finding were only interested in witchcraft as a fad. Even the ones that were serious would flake out.
That being said, there are a number of organized traditions of witchcraft that have their own particular styles and ideologies that define their paths. Laid out over a sparkling assemblage of chapters, a modern mystic will explore the theory, practice, and lifestyle of the Great Lilithian Arcane Mysteries GLAM.
She has a natural ability to command attention and draw people towards her. Her charisma and charm are irresistible, making her a captivating figure in any setting. However, the glam witch's beauty and charm should not be mistaken for weakness.

Review Quotes
"Potent and provocative!" --Fiona Horne, author of The Art of Witch and Witch: A Magickal Journey
"I must admit, I didn't think a book entitled The GLAM Witch was going to be my thing. Just as the author Michael Herkes didn't quite resonate with traditional Wicca, I've never found myself drawn to glamour and fascination magick. So imagine my surprise when he dispels that notion right off and presents a profoundly rich tradition based upon the dark goddess Lilith. It's wonderful when expectations are smashed and you see things in a new light, and The GLAM Witch certainly does that. Filled with great research, first hand experience, devotion, art, and of course still some glamour, he presents it in a fun, modern accessible style, but with a depth and sincerity that is often missing in modern popular books. I particularly liked the astrological approach to the three forms of Lilith." --Christopher Penczak, author of the Temple of Witchcraft series and Gay Witchcraft
"Articulate, exciting, and fresh! A glorious work about Lilith and her goddess glamour!" --Deborah Castellano, author of Glamour Magic
"Michael Herkes' debut book, The GLAM Witch, is a clever, well-written, and truly brilliant piece of work. I applaud the author's dedication to detail (no stone is left unturned), and his humble reverence toward the Great Goddess in her form of Lilith: an often misunderstood force of nature -- and ourselves. This is a book for those seeking self-empowerment, self-love, and a knowledge of ancient and modern magical practice." --Raven Digitalis, author of Esoteric Empathy and Shadow Magick Compendium
"The GLAM Witch is an unapologetic exploration of deep magic and spirituality. Michael Herkes creates an enchanted safe-space for us to explore our flaws, kinks, creative callings, and our truth. His coming of age story as a queer witch guided by the ancient wisdom of Lilith is a reminder that we're all on our own journey of discovery . . . magic is available for all of us no matter who you are, where you find yourself, or how you wish to show up! Herkes deep dives into the historical significance of Lilith, her evolving influence and his personal initiation of empowerment through her tutelage. You can feel Herkes' wisdom and support throughout the book . . . encouraging you to live your truth and offering a practical foundation for putting magic into practice! This is a must read for the Femme mystic, the rebel seeker, and anyone wishing to walk the path of the self-made witch!" --Shaheen Miro, Author and Creator of The Lunar Nomad Oracle, Co-Author of Tarot for Troubled Times

Reviews for "The Glam Witch's Guide to Protection Spells"
1. Jennifer - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with "The Glam Witch". The characters were so one-dimensional and predictable, I couldn't connect with any of them. The plot was also incredibly weak, with no real tension or excitement. I was hoping for a gripping and mysterious witch story, but instead, I got a bland and uninspiring read. Overall, a big letdown.
2. Mark - 3/5 - Unfortunately, "The Glam Witch" didn't live up to the hype for me. While the writing was decent, I found the pacing to be incredibly slow, making it difficult to stay engaged. The world-building was also lacking, leaving many unanswered questions. I thought the concept had potential, but the execution fell short. It's not the worst book I've read, but I wouldn't recommend it either.
3. Sarah - 2/5 - "The Glam Witch" was a major disappointment. The main character was incredibly unlikable, and I couldn't find any redeeming qualities about her. The romance in the story felt forced and unnecessary, adding nothing to the overall plot. The magic system was poorly explained, leaving me confused and frustrated. I was expecting a fun and entertaining witchy read, but instead, I was left unimpressed and uninterested. Not worth the time.
4. Alex - 2/5 - I had high hopes for "The Glam Witch" but was ultimately left underwhelmed. The writing style was confusing and disjointed, making it difficult to follow the narrative. The story lacked depth and originality, feeling like a rehash of other witchy books I've read before. The different subplots didn't mesh well together, creating a disjointed reading experience. Overall, it wasn't a book that stood out or left a lasting impression.
