They were far more representative of magical practice than the arcane delvings of astrologers and necromancers. Mostly unsensational in their approach, cunning-folk helped people with everyday problems: how to find lost objects; how to escape from bad luck or a suspected spell; and how to attract a lover or keep the love of a husband or wife.While cunning-folk sometimes fell foul of the authorities, both church and state often turned a blind eye to their existence and practices, distinguishing what they did from the rare and sensational cases of malvolent witchcraft. In a world of uncertainty, before insurance and modern science, cunning-folk played an important role that has previously been ignored.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52106094018848,"sku":"NEW184725036X","price":43.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81J9zGG6lQS.jpg?v=1785825082","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/popular-magic-cunning-folk-in-english-history-184725036x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
