About the author
Michael Herkes, known professionally as The Glam Witch, is the author of two books connecting witchcraft with personal style and self-presentation. The GLAM Witch (2019) is built around what he calls the Great Lilithian Arcane Mysteries, using the figure of Lilith as a framework for a magical practice centered on independence and self-expression. Glamstrology (2024), published by Llewellyn Publications, applies astrology specifically to style and personal aesthetics, framing a person's celestial chart as an influence on choices in fashion and self-presentation. Both books merge occult and beauty-industry vocabulary, aimed at readers who approach witchcraft through the lens of image and identity rather than ritual or history, and both are built around Herkes' own persona as a practicing glamour witch.
