Glamour
The
original meaning of the word "glamour" was
the act of casting a spell over someone, particularly
to change how things appeared to them. The primary
modern meaning of the word relates to fascination,
charisma, beauty, or sexual attraction. People, or
their lifestyles, can be described as glamorous. The
alternative spelling "glamor" is sometimes
used in the United States.
In
fiction
In Christopher Priest's 1984 fantasy novel, The Glamour,
the innate ability to turn oneself invisible is to
possess the glamour.
In
his book It, Stephen King uses the Scots word "glamour"
in reference to the creature known as "It"
or "Pennywise", saying that it means a creature
able either truly to change its shape and/or physical
appearance at will, or to be seen as different things
by different people.
In
Laurel K. Hamilton's Merry Gentry series, glamour
is a type of magic used by the fey, and something
that the main character Merideth Gentry herself can
use quite adeptly, even more so than most pure-blooded
sidhe (Credit:
