glamours
Spells of beauty
Glamours is the plural of glamour, an enchanting or magnetic attractiveness.
The word originally meant a literal magic spell—witches cast glamours to deceive the eye.
This sense persists in fantasy fiction, where glamours are illusions that alter appearance: The fairy's glamours made the hovel look like a palace.
In everyday use, glamours refers to multiple instances of allure or mystique: the glamours of Hollywood, the glamours of high society.
