About

Cunning Folk represents a collective expertise and craft from lifetime devotees to the esoteric and herbal path of the Northern tradition. We focus on traditional herbs, apothecary formula, and magical items related to the proud and obscured Hyperborean gnosis that infused the indigenous people for over 40,000 years of rich culture and traditions. We recognize that to some the Northern traditions are dismissed as mere neo-pagan movements or reconstructionists, but the ancestors have left us lore and encoded memories deep in the folk soul that can be unlocked in studying related shamanic, occult, and mystical traditions that share that Indo-European current across the ancient world. The Gods of our ancestors were eclectic and roamed far and wide for esoteric and mundane knowledge, spreading culture throughout the world as is encoded in many myths from Ireland to Tibet. We hope to bring you the highest quality artisan products that facilitate the Northern Revival whispering ecstatic magical wisdom into the ears of the lost generations of these great people. We must acknowledge that the excesses and evils of alien faiths reduced tribal honor and ways to legends and comic books. We must go back before Inquisitions and Sacred groves were razed, back before emperors launched genocides at our most sacred teachers and to the inspired, living traditions. But we must make these traditions breathe again, we must put flesh back on bones, and take up our practices under the crushing perspective of the modern world. For too long our spiritual heritage has been maligned as barbarian, uncultured, evil, superstitious or quaint fairy tales. But the lore and legacy of these ancestral spiritual technologies blaze a trail back to an authentic human life that participates in the co-creation of the world, honoring the past while acknowledging the challenges of the present.
