Cunning-folk were local practitioners of magic, providing
small-scale but valued service to the community. 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 malevolent witchcraft. In a world of
uncertainty, before insurance and modern science, cunning-folk
played an important role that has previously been ignored.
