  Cunning folk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cunning folk claimed to be able to detect witchcraft and counter it by using their own charms.
Some cunning folk were priests, others were committed, regular church goers, and others seldom went to church at all, but there is no evidence that they were pagans in the sense of worshiping ancient gods.
Cunning folk in general did not worry about how their magic worked; the important thing to them and their community is that people thought it did.

Whether Cunning folk actually did possess any supernatural power is open to debate; certainly some were caught in fraud such as spying on customers to help their predictions, repeatedly promising vast treasure which was never found, and falsely accusing the innocent of theft or witchcraft.
Of course some of the practises and spell craft used by the cunning folk may indeed have ancient roots, but the original pagan beliefs that went alongside the use of old charms were long gone nor did they use a shamanic trance during treatment.
Cunning folks were as busy as ever by the mid eighteenth century when religious tolerance in Britain ensured that professed atheists as well as Roman Catholics could openly admit their beliefs without danger, indeed some eccentrics did claim to worship Classical deities.

 Cunning Quotes & Quotations compiled by GIGA
Cunning is only the mimic of discretion, and may pass upon weak men, in the same manner as vivacity is often mistaken for wit, and gravity for wisdom.
We take cunning for a sinister or crooked wisdom; and certainly there is a great difference between a cunning man and a wise man, not only in point of honesty, but in point of ability.
Cunning is none of the best nor worst qualities; it floats between virtue and vice; there is scarce any exigence where it may not, and perhaps ought not to be supplied by prudence.

 Cunning Dorx
The “Cunning Dorx” are an Eastern Austrian alternative band entertaining their audience with “post-post modern electrical Rock” (as they define the line of music themselves).
Nevertheless, the stubborn Cunning Dorx started a new beginning and their revival really turned out well, mainly through the engagement of several new artists and of them all being involved in new projects, doing a great deal for the realisation of their musical aims.
The band has obviously improved since periodical firm and persistent rehearsals are part of their genius, on the other hand an organised management, Kamikatze records, has made a more or less professional youth band out of the former not serious school band experiment.

 Cunning Bandit (and Azamuki, Treachery Incarnate)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
When we were first introduced to the Cunning Bandit, I read the card and thought it was a lot more powerful than it actually is. I'm guessing I'm not the only one that misread the Bandit and thought that once it became Azamuki, Treachery Incarnate, the card actually used ki counters to cast mini-Threatens.

 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Robertson Davies - The Cunning Man: A Novel at Epinions.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The narrative of The Cunning Man is driven, ever so gently, by the questioning over a long period of time, of Dr. Hullah by Esme Gilmartin, a callow but shrewd reporter for one of Toronto's newspapers, who works on features.
If The Cunning Man has a major weakness, it is in the aloof nature of the main character.
Hullah, as the cunning man, (from the anglo saxon cunnan, one who knows), is cast on a higher plane than most of the people around him; slightly smarter, distant, severe, and closed off.

 The Cunning Man, Constant Reader Discussion
As in, "Peter Rabbit wore a cunning little blue coat with shiny brass buttons." This was in addition to its useage as a synonym for 'clever'.
I always thought that was slightly redundent, since the word 'cunning' itself always conveyed a sense of somewhat disreputable slyness, to me at least.
As for what the Cunning Man was hiding, maybe it was that he really DID feel and had been vastly hurt by various of the events he recorded.

 Cunning Fox 1.0.5 - MacUpdate
Cunning Fox is an application for controlling your Macintosh and understanding what your computer is doing.
I've found Cunning Fox very useful when I'm trying to carry out some sort of processor-intensive task while leaving open, but stopped, in the background other apps that would normally be if not hogging, then at least competing for processor time.
I highly recommend Cunning Fox, and imagine it might be especially useful to those who have older, slower machines and who want to maximise their productivity in processor intensive apps like InDesign, Photoshop, and so on.

 The Cunning Man
The Cunning Man is as broadly learned as its predecessors, as replete with vividly realized characters, and as dramatic in its presentation.

 Cunning - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
In Bible-English "cunning" means always "wise" or "skilful"; the word does not occur in the bad sense, and it is found in the Old Testament only.
The chief Hebrew words are chakham, "wise," "skilful" (2 Chronicles 2:7 the King James Version "a man cunning to work in gold"; 2 Chronicles 2:13; Isaiah 3:3 the King James Version, etc.); chashabh, "to think," "devise," "desire" (Exodus 26:1,31; 28:6,15 the King James Version, etc.).
For cunning the American Standard Revised Version gives "skilful" (Exodus 31:4, etc.; Isaiah 3:3 "expert"); for "cunning work" the work of the "skilful workman" (Exodus 26:1,31, etc., the English Revised Version "cunning workman"); for "curious," "skilfully woven," the English Revised Version "cunningly woven" (Exodus 28:8, etc.).

 Luck or Cunning?
Stripped of detail the point at issue is this; - whether luck or cunning is the fitter to be insisted on as the main means of organic development.
So is a telescope; the telescope in its highest development is a secular accumulation of cunning, sometimes small, sometimes great; sometimes applied to this detail of the instrument, and sometimes to that.
The telescope owes its development to cunning, the eye to luck, which, it would seem, is so far more cunning than cunning that one does not quite understand why there should be any cunning at all.

 Amazon.com: A Factory of Cunning: Books: Philippa Stockley   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
If you like your women as cruel as they are beautiful, you may fall hard for Philippa Stockley's darkly witty novel, A Factory of Cunning, which follows an exiled French aristocrat as she pimps and swindles her way through London in the summer of 1784.
I suppose that because "A Factory of Cunning" does have at its heart one character from "Dangerous Liaisons," and the period and setting is similar to "Tom Jones," comparisons are inevitable.
However, "A Factory of Cunning" lacks the sophisticated wit of "Dangerous Liaisons" and the sardonic, rollicking style of "Tom Jones." On the other hand, "A Factory of Cunning" is a highly polished and entirely engrossing novel.
