{"product_id":"popular-magic-owen-davies-9781847250360","title":"Popular Magic: Cunning-Folk in English History","description":"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 malvolent witchcraft. In a world of uncertainty, before insurance and modern science, cunning-folk played an important role that has previously been ignored.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Owen Davies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 184725036X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847250360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.16h x 6.30w x 0.79d","brand":"Owen Davies","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986354176255,"sku":"9781847250360","price":58.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d506eb59-6c56-468d-8385-55ca3092cc44.jpg?v=1683282868","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/popular-magic-owen-davies-9781847250360","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
