1分鍾前,上周的消息香水品牌Pinrose計劃推出一個“起動女巫工具包”在絲芙蘭今年10月行巫術的人之間引起了人們強烈的不滿和其他人。nine-piece設置是為42美元零售,並包括一組witch-related項目,包括塔羅牌、鼠尾草、和玫瑰石英晶體(收費)。批評人士指責該品牌重視那些實踐的宗教巫術。一些認同女巫社區的成員走上社會媒體和YouTube呼籲抵製絲芙蘭。昨天Pinrose出爾反爾,在一份聲明中宣布,計劃停止生產的裝備,並將不再是在絲芙蘭門店銷售:首先,那些共享他們的失望或采取進攻這個產品,我們深刻的道歉。這不是我們的意圖。我們感謝您和我們交流和表達你的感情。我們聽到你;我們不會製造或提供本產品出售。產品我們的目的是創造東西慶祝健康,個人儀式,意圖設置重點使用香水作為美容儀式。 Some also accused Pinrose and Sephora of conflating Native American sacred practices with witchcraft, and objected to the sage bundles, which are used in “smudging,” a sacred practice in some Native American religions, that has been adopted by mainstream wellness culture. Pinrose, for its part, pointed out that the sage in its kit is not classified by the US government as threatened, and would have been “sustainably harvested and sold by Native American owned and operated businesses…” they also noted that the kit did not reference “ceremonial smudging or ceremony circles.” Some also accused the brand of stealing Prince’s trademarked love symbol . (Pinrose noted in its statement that it had purchased the artwork, including the symbol, and linked to an image from a stock photo site.) The superstar soul singer SZA even chimed in to suggest untrained witches should probably stay away from the dark arts: Cultural appropriation is not a simple accusation. In diverse societies, the intermixing of cultures is inevitable and often positive—and the line between earnest appreciation and appropriation is often blurry. But as some online critics of Pinrose pointed out, all it takes is a slight paradigm shift to see the problem with the Starter Witch Kit: Tags
