[Faery] Glamour ~ a magic(k) spell, an enchantment
What is the objective of Glamour Bombs?
Quote from Operation Glamour:
To have fun and spread glamour, also to increase awareness that magick and kin exist.
What is a glamour bomb? Is it a random act of kindness? Well it could be perceived that way, but really a glamour bomb is more a senseless act of beauty. Glamour bombing is poetic terrorism, through the eyes of fae. Fae can be sweet, or kind, or even mischievous or slightly evil. Is being nice to a friend of yours who is having a bad day a glamour bomb? No. It's awfully nice and everyone should be nice to one another! But it's not a glamour bomb. Is running around downtown in your city nekkid except for a cowboy hat, a tutu and faery wings a glamour bomb? Yes! This my dear friends is a glamour bomb.
Examples:
a) Dress up. Leave a false name. Be legendary. The best poetic terrorism is against the law, but don't get caught. Art as crime; crime as art.
b) Photocopy pamphlets or flyers for your Discordian cabal and place them under car windshield wipers or otherwise put them where people won't miss them. If you haven't got a Discordian cabal, start one.
c) Find yourself 7 poles or trees and weave an elven star with yarn. Hang trinkets on it and pile offerings or such things at each pole.

"WEIRD DANCING IN ALL-NIGHT computer-banking lobbies. Unauthorized pyrotechnic displays. Land-art, earth-works as bizarre alien artifacts strewn in State Parks. Burglarize houses but instead of stealing, leave Poetic-Terrorist objects. Kidnap someone & make them happy. Pick someone at random & convince them they're the heir to an enormous, useless & amazing fortune--say 5000 square miles of Antarctica, or an aging circus elephant, or an orphanage in Bombay, or a collection of alchemical mss. Later they will come to realize that for a few moments they believed in something extraordinary, & will perhaps be driven as a result to seek out some more intense mode of existence."...
