Summary: We get to sit down and chat with Dr. Tabitha Stanmore, author of Cunning Folk and historian of folk magic and service magicians in the Early Modern period! We chat about missing spoons, modern service magic, and just which of the cunning folk she'd slap with a fish given the opportunity. It's a wonderful chat so we hope you enjoy!
Please check out our Patreon page! You can help support the show for as little as a dollar a month, and get some awesome rewards at the same time. Even if you can’t give, spread the word and let others know, and maybe we can make New World Witchery even better than it is now.
Producer for this show: This episode is sponsored in part by listener Pretty Poisons Witch. We’ll be sending along several itinerant magicians with our thanks to perform some spells on your behalf shortly! Thank you for your support!
