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.

Seeing the unseen - occultism literally means "hidden knowledge"

[isiscruz]

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!

For everyone knocking this video for being mistitled, She's literally bringing the unseen into the seen world and that EXACTLY is magic. She is working with elements in an alchemical way to transform reality.

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!!

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.

This girl is out of this world. Such an immensely creative and curious mind is needed to make the changes and developments she did. BRAVO!

[mogmuffmunch]

Spoken from the soul. I have so much love and respect for this real woman.

[wildearthling]

Influencing how other people feel in any way/communication medium is moving energy with intention which is magick.

[lightloveandawake]

I like it, “Magic is just science, we don’t understand, yet” 💗😊💕

[soulforge]

You are super inspiring... the combining of things that one may not see as being able to be paired... and then putting them into "practice" into the world so others can experience them personally is beyond brilliant! To me...this is the purest form of magick!

[jaysantos]

Sometimes magick isn't as practical as some might think magick is more than items and spell magick changed her life in powerful strong way she's fantastic ..blessed be🌚🖤

“Magic is just science that we don’t understand yet.” Lauren Bowker.

I agree. <3

[nibzuofnibiru]

I appreciate her inventions, they are quite beautiful.

[brightwitch]

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!

[dbenv]

Wrong title for this - very misleading

[zamoth]

still waiting where she actually talks about magick

[shaynenbock]

WOW! Ms. Bowker should receive a award and more....

[yohbahmerci]
