To Turn Heads and Open Eyes
A spell for presence, confidence, and the quiet power of being unmistakably yourself
11/18/20252 min read

There are days when you move through the world quietly, without needing attention or recognition. And there are days when the opposite is required. Days when you feel the need to take up space, to be felt as soon as you enter a room, to have the road open for you rather than the other way round. This working lives in that space. It is not about vanity or glamour. It is about command. It is about stepping into your own current so fully that the air bends around you.
Magnetism is not something you chase. It is something you switch on. It comes from a deeper place where confidence sits alongside mystery and where your presence becomes an atmosphere rather than a shape. This spell works on that level. It anchors you in your own power and offers a breath of yourself to the spirits who know how to carry it ahead of you. It is simple and quick, but it touches the old ways of calling attention not by force, but by inevitability.
This is the kind of working that does not shout. It hums. It changes the room without announcing itself. It shifts the eyes of others without needing their permission. It helps you arrive rather than enter. It opens the path just slightly, just enough, in the way that only true spiritual magnetism can.
To Turn Heads and Open Eyes
This spell is for those moments when you want to be noticed. Not just seen, but felt. When you walk into a space and wish for every eye to pause, for every head to turn just slightly, even if they do not know why. It is not glamour. It is magnetism. It is the road making space for you.
Begin by choosing a perfume you already love. One that makes you feel bold, powerful, slightly dangerous. It cannot be new. It must carry your history. Spray it once on your chest before you leave the house, just below your throat. That is the anchor. Next, take a glass of water and place it near the door you will walk through. Whisper into the water:
“Pomba Gira, let them see me, feel me be drawn, be caught.
Where I walk, the road curves.
Where I pass, the air shifts.
Where I speak, the ears turn.”
Spit lightly into the water. Just enough to mark it as yours. Then flick a drop of gin or rum into it and say nothing. This is not for drinking. This is a mirror. A small offering. A spell that holds your breath in it. Before leaving the house, dab the water behind your ears and on your wrists. A single touch. Not enough to be seen. Just enough to bind the spell to your pulse. As you step outside, say aloud:
“I do not enter. I arrive.
I do not ask. I receive.
I do not blend. I burn.”
Then walk as if everyone is already watching. Even if they are not. Especially if they are not.
