  • 3 successes: The term "cunning" is used in many rural British areas to describe men and women who engage in supernatural activities, many of which are described as being in opposition to "witches." Rural folk would go to them for healing, divination, and protection from evil. Anthropologists consider them a sort of folk healer, and it is believed that most of the folk persecuted in medieval witchcraft trials who were actually esoteric practitioners (a distinct minority) were likely cunningfolk.
