Eyes are one of the most important organs within the body as sight allows you to bind the perception of the spiritual with the physical, and thus allowing for visualisation and energy manipulation. With practice, one can train themselves to see the unseen, or influence the world around them – invisible to others. 

In order to influence a person’s thoughts or actions using “glares” it may be necessary to use physical representations of the desired effect as a starting point. Such is easily achieved through the process of makeup application, or alternatively, using enchanted water or ointment over the eyes. However, the effect is best achieved through the combination of both. With time and practice, these can be disregarded as you will have trained yourself to automatically influence someone or something as you become accustomed to transmuting energy from your eyes to the target. 

How It Works

1. Think of an emotion or state of being you want the person to experience.
2. Visualise it and manifest the feeling within yourself.
3. Hold onto that emotion and bring the awareness of it towards your eyes.
4. Project it towards the eyes of the person, visualising a line of a corresponding colour (for example, if you wish to influence them with the emotion of love, pink would be a corresponding colour) acting as an energy exchange point.
5. While projecting, an appropriate glare must be used (in reference to the example above, you would have to look at them as if you are truly in love with them at that moment of time). 

Consciously exchanging an emotion and directing it towards the eyes of the target disallows them to block it off as eyes tend to be the most vulnerable organs during physical communication. Hence many people who are not comfortable with allowing strangers or others to influence them may wear darkly tinted sunglasses or eyewear in order to reject emotional exchanges (and can also be used as a form of protection). 

Adding Magick to the Technique 

If you know that you will face a certain situation and you want it to play out in your favour, you can design a spell that aids you in the manipulation of others and the world around you. 

An easy way of experimenting is decorating your eyes with necessary symbolism. For example, if you are afraid of walking outside alone and are prone to being catcalled, whistled at, or approached generally, you can strike fear into the eyes of your target that will prevent them from approaching you as it serves as a warning sign. This can be done beforehand at home by glamouring your eye makeup. Now in this example, as you wish to use your eyes as a form of protection or fear, black eyeshadow would equate to the corresponding energy colour projected from your eyes towards the target. But in order to maximise this effect, dipping your eyeshadow brush into a bowl of blessed water (water gathered from a storm has particularly lethal energy) that has been charged by corresponding herbs* and crystals (in this instance, I personally use Jet crystals, storm water, and black salt) will greatly help. The eyeshadow then binds to the metaphysical properties of the water, and thus infuses your eyes with the desired magickal power.

*Make sure that the herbs do not cause inflammation and are safe on skin contact. A list of crystals that become toxic in water can be found here.

The next step would be to create an incantation to either verbally or mentally use whilst you perform the energy exchange with the target using your eyes. Short, simple phrases are more effective – especially when they are commands. This is because the incantation influences the energy line you project, and as a result, influences the mind of the target. In this example, if you wish for the target to back off, you can say or think a command such as “beware my stare” or “stay away today”. Anything that rhymes is preferable but not necessary, but they are easier to remember and concentrate on. 

So to sum it up in the example of influencing someone to fear you:

1. Beforehand, you would magically empower your eyes through applying black eyeshadow or general eye makeup with a brush dipped in corresponding blessed water (storm water, black salt, Jet) in order to achieve the necessary symbolism.
2. Once you have a target, lock eye contact.
3. Invoke the emotion of fear – see it, feel it, sense it completely within your body.
4. Bring this awareness towards your eyes and set an appropriate glare (eyebrows raised down into a look of anger would be suitable).
5. Say your desired incantational command.
6. Project your energy and feel the fear leaving your eyes through the energy line and entering the eyes of the target.
7. Break direct eye contact in order to severe the psychic link so that the energy cannot be transferred back to you, and stays within your target.
8. As a result, your target will be fearful from approaching you.

As this serves as a basic example, you can now experiment with this technique using different emotions to serve your need. This type of magick will take a lot of practice to master, but over time you will be able to do so without having to prepare beforehand with ingredients and simply use your eyes in their natural state. A good word of advice from me personally is to practice this in the mirror – as mirrors are astral reflections, you will be able to feel the effects of the spells on yourself (but in this case use benevolent magick as you do not want to cast anything negative on yourself).
