🔮The definition of adornment is “ an accessory or ornament worn to enhance the beauty or status of the wearer”.

🔮As a #glamour #witch the purpose of this magic (I believe) is to enhance and uplift yourself and those around you. That includes being an eye catching delight. A worthy and exciting experience that you and others enjoy looking at on a daily basis.

🔮Precious stones have been used for the purposes of adornment for over 7,000 years. Our ancient ancestors decorated themselves with colors of gemstones that made them look like the beauty that they radiated. Crystals and stones that amplified the energy of the wearer as well as protected their space and drew in opportunity and messages from above (or below).
