Glamourbomb booklist.Faery: old spelling of fairy, which has recently returned to common usage. Magick: numerologically empowered spelling of "magic," as brought into use by Crowley; also to distinguish it from stage magic. A glamourbomb: a senseless act of beauty, poetic terrorism, fae activism, magickal pranks, enchanted performance art, winged culturejamming. Similar to a Random Act of Kindness, but with the specific goal of making people believe in faeries. Faery acts might be kind, or they might be a little wicked. (Tricksters, you know.) Glamourbombs are generally harmless, although they may blow someone's mind.
