I’ve often noticed certain people give a strong impression of being beautiful in-person, then objectively aren’t beautiful in photos. Are they projecting their astral self-image?

I can read this type of energy on people. I think they do put a spell on themselves, consciously or subconsciously, to appear more attractive. You can do this subconsciously depending on your mental state when you get ready in the morning, usually at the bathroom mirror. Or other people straight up put a spell on someone else. As gay as this sounds (which I am not), I have noticed black males have this type of energy at a higher rate than any other demographic.

somewhere in picrel Jacues Vallee talks about glamour in the esoteric context. in one instance, he has an ~400 years ago account from a woman who had met a stranger on a walking path, meeting a stranger on the side with a table and full meal setup, inviting her over, just off the path but not quite in the woods on an otherwise normal and highly traveled path between her village and homestead area.

she accepted the kind invitation, despite the oddity, ate all she could, and accepted a takeaway gift from the person when she left. returning to her family, they were shocked to see her, stating they had been searching for her for several days. she felt she had only stopped for a brief snack on the side of the path with a stranger in highly opulent clothing with decorated furniture and gourmet food.

when she opened the bundle of food she was given to prove it to her family, there was nothing but bark, twigs, moss, worms and the like. apparently that story is common enough across folklores

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aarne%E2%80%93Thompson%E2%80%93Uther_Index

that it either happens often enough to people who had never heard of it previously, lending some truth to it all, or people are bullshitting it. it fits the description of a glamour spell, making a thin veneer of beauty on top of filth and ugliness.

she was apparently hypnotized under a glamour spell for several days, being fed bark, leaves, and who knows what else by some creature wearing a glamour spell to cover itself.

Genuinely interesting observation anon. Thank you for sharing.

>>42556097
keep in mind the etymology of the words she uses in your pic, OP.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/glamour
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glamour
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glamour_(presentation)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapeshifting

in every language, it connotates a thin layer of deception to cover evil. it is also conceptually near glimmer

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/glimmer

which referred to hypnotic lights which are used in nature to lure prey to their death. stories of forest sprites and other glimmering spirits are memetically linked to glamour experiences such that a shapeshifter, skinwalker, witch, wizard, socerer, or somesuch is using it to deceive the observer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapes_(The_X-Files)#Plot

such glamour spells are often discussed in ancient shamanistic contexts when a sorcerer is able to transmorph their body into that of a jaguar, bear, lion, elk, or some similar animal and go on a spirit journey. the idea with your pic is that when a glamour spell is abused, similar to how Merlin abused one here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxSeeN03Xfg

to change one knight into the form of another, deceiving a princess so he could sneakily get her pregnant before the glamour spell wore off and his true form showed through again. celebrities abuse glamour spells to achieve the same effect, professionally, at least they believe so.

I feel like I fall into this category.
>Depending who you ask I am either very attractive and my personality is the hardest part to handle
>Or I am average at best with an amazing personality.
Never thought of it as a glamour spell.
I just am good at getting in a girls head cause I dealt with women my whole life. I actually was considered very unattractive until highschool so I developed a very polarizing personality. You either love me or hate me.
Girls who find me attractive view it as an all encompassing thing. I can never get a consistent agreement amongst women on my attractiveness.
Once I click with someone I just kinda know what to say. I become the attractive guy who says all the right things and takes them on the most unique original experiences.

Eyes scan in one direction. Human faces aren't symmetrical. Cameras flip horizontal by default, allowing you to see what the mirror realm you looks like.

Just not photogenic m8.
I look much better in person, handsome even.
But photos do me dirty.

Usually people like this look better at a lens with a focal length of 50- 55 or so closest to natural as possible. Most photos you see are 18mm which makes skinny people look great and everyone else look like dog shit. Even still though a photo can’t capture your personality and mannerisms well unless you have a good photographer who also has gotten to know you a bit. I’d say if you look better in person than in a photo you just haven’t had good photos taken unfortunately. Energy is also a thing too but that can be captured by the right person
>>
Some people might put spells on themselves and that’s a really interesting idea but I’ll give you the genuine answer as well
>photographs are a 2d representation of a 3d subject
>not everything translates well from a 3d, both-eye view to a 2d image
>in fact, most things don’t
>the person taking the picture has to have a good eye for (or accomplish by accident) finding an angle/lighting/moment that actually captures what it really “feels” like in 3d
>this is also why a lot of people casually fail at landscape photography. What they saw was absolutely gorgeous in person but their perspective didn’t translate well to 2d
I will also say, though, that there seem to be some pretty ugly people who can work some kind of sensuality thing to “be more attractive than they are”. I don’t really know how to word that last part. I’d call it something different than charisma or just “rizz”. It’s something more physical, somehow.

Fat women are ludicrously easy to spot.
Most photos you see actually had the fucking phone choose to optimal focal length.

ya, if you have some experience in illustration you can see this too. its hard to capture 3d shapes in a two dimensional space without it looking wonky.

How should I know, I don't have pictures of people I see! I don't look at pictures or take them.

I’ve often noticed certain people give a strong impression of being beautiful in-person

only in the spirit. as that's the soul image.
in person? psychical is not spirit

don't even go there robot.

look at this image of my past self and think humm
this doesn't look like the curent one ofc it isn't its called reincation
the soul is not always in the same vessel (body)

err this is too hard to explain.

>then objectively aren’t beautiful in photos. Are they projecting their astral self-image?

its spirit image yes the so called astral image that the soul image not the body

these kind of stories are still very popular here in SEA. For us, it's not so much of a glamour spell but more of people accidentally wandering into djinn territory, and this usually happens during mountain hiking. That's why hikers would usually need permission from the gatekeeper or to undergo purification ritual first before they go up the mountain. You can still hear these stories here and there in SEA even today in the modern era

I'm attractive in person and look awful in photos. Are you accusing me of being some kind of spellcasting demon, huh OP? What the heck is going on here?
>>
>>42556097
Many of the synagogue of Satan I believe either use sorcery to change their appearances or some sort of energy harvesting ritual to take on a more attractive, similar appearance to their non-evil victims.
>>
>>42556535
Are you me?

My observation is it literally all comes down to assimetry being much more obvious in photos.

Best example i've seen was a friend of mine who developed facial hemiparesis due to brain cancer. Before that her face was perfectly symmetrical in photos. She was extremely self-conscious of her hemiparesis we'd all tell her how beautiful she is and that isn't that noticeable at all. And we werent lying, it geniunely wasn't that obvious - until you took a picture.

I'm in a similar situation myself. Most people, especially the girls that fall for me say I should be a model. But in frontal photos I look like a fucking goblin
>>
>>42559367
No. Many people have substantial spells on themselves. Appearing more attractive than they actually are is one of the most common spells out there, possibly the most common.

It is not "being themselves" or whatever it is you are trying to communicate.

I think anything related to glamour spells and rituals would come in the form of idealized beauty that seems very off-putting yet considered desirable.
We see this throughout history and in the current day.
People who have a strongly attractive aura or vibe in despite of their appearance can go either way, they can either be highly manipulative people or they are genuinely kind and humble spirits and those who are discerning can easily spot the difference between the two.
The eyes are a big giveaway, because those who are the manipulative type have dead empty eyes, which you shouldn't get mixed up with depressed people because there is still an intense emotion behind those sad eyes.

Yeah but I’ve noticed the opposite too where some people look good looking in photos, but are meh in person.

Real beauty is more than just a visual. A shitty pizza is more pleasing to see, smell, touch, and taste than perfect one is to photograph and look at.
