Panel: The Rise of the Cunning Folk

  • Pilgrimage Gathering 2025 London, England, W10 United Kingdom (map)

Speakers: India Rakusen, Tabitha Stanmore, The Seed Sistas
As interest in pilgrimage grows, so too does a yearning to reconnect with ancestral wisdom—particularly the magical, medicinal, and spiritual practices once held by the cunning folk, herbalists, wise women and ritual workers of these islands. In this panel, we explore the resurgence of folk healing and folk magic in Britain today: from sacred plant medicine and lunar rituals to the lived history of spellcraft and divination.

Part of the British Pilgrimage Trust’s Pilgrimage Gathering 2025. Tickets available here.
