Cunning Folk Magazine is a UK-based independent magazine dedicated to magic, mythology, folklore and the occult.
Overview
[edit | edit source]Cunning Folk Magazine was founded in 2019 by Elizabeth Kim. Stop motion animator Rachael Olga Lloyd was art director in its first year.[1] Kaitlynn Copithorne has been the art director since 2021. The magazine has an international outlook and publishes non-fiction articles, poetry, short fiction and recipes.
In 2021, actress and vegan activist Evanna Lynch praised the magazine on Instagram, calling it a 'brilliant resource.'[2]
In a 2023 article for French Magazine So Film, penned by journalist Thomas Andrei, Cunning Folk editor Kim was cited noting that the 1973 film The Wicker Man may not be as radical as it appears to be, affirming stereotypes about marginalised folk beliefs.[3]
In 2022, representing Cunning Folk, Kim was interviewed by Stylist about diversity in occult spaces, and is quoted as saying, 'Identifying as a witch shows solidarity with the scapegoat – a person blamed for the ills of a community, "Witchcraft and magic continue to draw people who feel in some way ostracised from society."[4]
