lostianvsTrust Glamour
My mundane job involves reviewing the work of others. In an ideal world, everyone would be faithful archivists and witnesses of their own work. In reality, important details are often left undocumented and people are reluctant to reveal "how the sausage is made" for fear of judgement. I usually need to conduct face-to-face interviews where I try to get the details I need to conduct a fair and honest review. One issue with this is that interviewees are not always forthcoming and often omit important details about their processes. This deception is not always conscious. I've found a perception of trust and confidence can facilitate the extraction of information. Hence, a glamour that makes me seem more worthy of their trust.
The theory of glamours I use is based on the passive manipulation of lunar elements. The keyword I associate with Luna as a planetary power is "Perception." My goal with glamours is to alter how other's perceive me. In this case, I want to be perceived as more trustworthy. To this end, I constructed an audible sigil and focused my intent on a tube of vanilla lip balm.
I started with three phrases that summarized my goal in the present tense.
These new syllables became the components of a set of magical phrases (AKA "barbarous names").
Note, that conjunctions using "&" become a single word. For example:
HUGS & KISSES → HUGS&KIE = 8 + 3 + 7 + 1 + 9 + 2 + 9 + 5 = 44 → 8 = "KO"
Method
I stood in front of a mirror while holding a tube of lip balm. As I stared at myself, I tapped into lunar energies. The tube in my hand glowed faintly with silver light. The smell of vanilla bean and cocoa butter permeated the space. I repeatedly chanted the phrase, "BA JUT. BA JEM. BA JUL." Each time I spoke the words, I felt the lip balm become infused with the appearance of trustfulness and safety. Once the tube was sufficiently imbued, I applied the lip balm and felt the appearance of trustfulness radiate from my face.

LUNA SEEMS TRUSTWORTHY.
LUNA SEEMS DEPENDABLE.
LUNA SEEMS DISCREET.
I then eliminated repeated letters and evaluated the numerical value of each word using the table below. I used the numerical value of each word to construct a syllabic component made of a consonant and a vowel using basic numerological arithmetic. In the case of words that evaluated to 1, I assigned a single letter and rolled it forward or backward into a neighboring syllable.LUNA SEEMS DEPENDABLE.
LUNA SEEMS DISCREET.
LUNA = 3 + 3 + 5 + 1 = 12 → 3 = "BA"
SEEMS → SEM = 1 + 5 + 4 = 10 → 1 = "J"
TRUSTWORTHY → TRUSWOHY = 2 + 9 + 3 + 1 + 5 + 6 + 8 + 7 = 41 → 5 = "UT"
DEPENDABLE → DEPNABL = 4 + 5 + 7 + 5 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 27 → 9 = "EM"
DISCREET → DISCRET = 4 + 9 + 1 + 3 + 9 + 5 + 2 = 33 → 6 = "UL"
SEEMS → SEM = 1 + 5 + 4 = 10 → 1 = "J"
TRUSTWORTHY → TRUSWOHY = 2 + 9 + 3 + 1 + 5 + 6 + 8 + 7 = 41 → 5 = "UT"
DEPENDABLE → DEPNABL = 4 + 5 + 7 + 5 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 27 → 9 = "EM"
DISCREET → DISCRET = 4 + 9 + 1 + 3 + 9 + 5 + 2 = 33 → 6 = "UL"
