Tabitha's history work on cunning-folk and service magic is some of the most important going on at the moment. Im very excited to get to hear this chat.
In this episode of June's Witches, Cunning Folk & Magic theme, I'm talking to @magicnotwitches.bsky.social about what cunning folk are and how they differ from witches, what members of different classes used magic for, and why Magic Studies is a valuable approach to history!
