The word “glamour” has its roots in spell-casting, sorcery and magical enchantment. When the early Christians arrived in England with the mission of St.Augustine to Aethelbert, King of Kent, in 597, the pagan Anglo-Saxons were so impressed by the Christian chants, the clothes the burning incenses and mostly the enormous books from where the priests were reading their teachings that some of them would fall on the ground as if they received a blow.
