Some of the practices and spells used by the cunning folk are similar to those used by Pagans; however, the spells were done in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Gho
Cunning folk were successful in their work; however, how they did so still isn’t proved by science. Their achievements could be purely psychological [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], “supernatural,” or a blend to the two.
The folk were able to earn a good amount of money for their talents. Most charged a fee for their services [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as other professionals did. The problem was that they were often deemed hoaxers, tricksters and frauds, especially by the better educated classes. This was compounded by the fact that there were charlatans who made money from deceiving people by parlor tricks and preying on the gullible by exploiting their ignorance of parapsychological and arcane subjects, as con artists do.
Witches, especially during the height of the witch hunts and persecutions, were, for the most part, figments of others’ imagination, self-serving goals and hysteria. The North Berwick Witches' Persecution is an excellent example.
Historically, the folk have been too often confused with witches. The major difference is that cunning folk were real people and were a recognized part of British life. Open about their talents and services, these people were valued members of society.

Cunning Folk and Witches
Cunning women and men were practitioners of folk magick for positive curative and preventative ends. The word “cunning” was originally used in England. These practitioners were also referred to as “white witches,” in Devon and, later this label became synonymous with cunning folk, also known as wise men and wise women and the wise ones.
Cunning Folk - Pagan or Christian?
Most, if not all, cunning folk were recorded as Christians, although some Neo-Pagans may think the folk are evidence of Pagan survival. Some of the wise ones were members of the clergy; others, devout Christians. There is no evidence of the folk worshipping the ancient deities.
This was the height of atrocities against suspected witches.
The magickal services offered by cunning folk were strictly against the doctrines of the Christian Churches. Such activity, according to laic and Ecclesiastical law, was to be punished. Most cunning folk weren’t charged. During Medieval times, the village priest might be the one practicing this magick. The Renaissance did little to change this, although the clergy often denounced cunning folk, this group still escaped serious prosecution.
