I came for magick, but was pleased to learn about eco-fashion. Your creations are stunning. You’re right, ‘Magick is science we don’t yet understand.’ What fascinating work.
None of this talk had anything to do with applying Magick to every day life or anything like that. Cheap gimmicks to get people to watch. sick shirt though
still waiting where she actually talks about magick
I really enjoyed this talk. And, as a long time Witch and Pagan, I get the frustration that many are expressing over the title. But I think while the wording is off, the idea that she has been inspired by magick, or at least her perception of it, is present here from beginning to end. Witchcraft is about creating change through channeled energy. Alchemy is the practice of using the energy locked within physical nature and natural substances to create change. Alchemy is not witchcraft, bug both witchcraft and alchemy ARE forms of magick. She makes no claim to being a witch, instead she calls herself an alchemist. And her talk is about alchemical magick. So while you, and I, may have read the title and made an assumption about the type of magick she would be discussing, the issue is not her talk or the title, but our presumption that our views, practices, or beliefs are the only valid ones to use the term magick.
Waste of time- wrong title for topic. Should have known TED Talks would not cover such a topic.
Seeing the unseen - occultism literally means "hidden knowledge"
Wrong title for this - very misleading
Give me my wasted 10 minuts back.
This was an extremely misleading headline 😂
Completely misleading title and description. Magick is the name of her fashion brand
Magick, science, alchemy...a very modern and refreshed view on the unseen. So happy to hear such a young, wise and very intelligent lady share her dream and vision. Believe in yourself and anything is possible🌹💜🌹 Also a huge Alexander Mcqueen fan✨
I feel you sister. I have found more than than 30 four leaf clovers, about 10 five leaf clovers and 2 six leaf clovers. I almost feel like I'm betraying Spirit by sharing this because each time I spot one it's been at a time when I've been thinking about something very personal/profound. I've had many truly profound experiences within nature (too many to post in a YT comment) that I haven't even shared with my beloved family members. Magic is real! Spirit is real!
I appreciate her inventions, they are quite beautiful.
You are such an inspiration Laura!! Thank you for sharing your honesty, your imagination and work. You embody what it means to be a "witch"! Brilliantly feminine, inspiring and nature focused. Your works should be every where!!
Influencing how other people feel in any way/communication medium is moving energy with intention which is magick.
I like it, “Magic is just science, we don’t understand, yet” 💗😊💕
This was so different than what I was anticipating from the title, and I'm so glad I watched it! This was truly awe-inspiring!
Wishing well to all Chaos Magicians and Witches out there, may your practice be fruitful and you are well protected from the programmed
I wasnt sure what i was getting into by clicking this video but i truly enjoyed this and learning about everything she has came up with (:
It's like Paul Foster Case often said, and more recently Alan Moore, that you go within to find novel concepts and ideas and apply initiative to bring them to the world around you. Fascinating stuff, hopefully these fashion and chemistry ideas will increasingly find a home context!
