The Power of the Cunning Folk Is Alive and Needed Now

🪄 The Power of the Cunning Folk Is Alive and Needed Now

You think the problem is that you're too sensitive.

Too intuitive.
Too strange.

You may have spent years, even decades, trying to fix what you thought was “wrong” with you—trying to be more strategic, more logical, more acceptable to a world that rewards fitting in over standing out.

But what if you’re trying to solve the wrong problem?

What if the truth isn’t that you're too much, too slow, too tender, or too intense?
What if the real truth is that you carry an ancient power that dominant culture has been trying to erase for centuries—and that power is exactly what the world needs now?

🔍 What’s Really Going On

In our dominator culture—shaped by patriarchal, colonial, and extractive systems—wisdom that doesn’t serve the center is systematically suppressed.

The cunning folk—the healers, the seers, the earth-tenders, the visionaries—have been cast out, marginalized, labeled irrelevant or dangerous.

Their crime?

They refused to abandon relational ways of knowing, intuitive intelligence, and regenerative ways of being.

Modern systems pathologize sensitivity, dismiss intuitive knowing, and reward dissociation from Earth and body.

But here’s the truth:
The cunning folk never disappeared. Their lineage lives on—in you.

🔮 Why the Cunning Folk Are Rising Now

We are entering an era of profound collapse and rebirth.
The center is crumbling. The margins are pulsing with possibility.

Here’s what’s emerging:

• A collective hunger for rootedness, relationality, and embodied wisdom

• A call for leaders who can hold ambiguity, sense unseen patterns, and midwife change

• A return to ancestral ways of healing, dreaming, and Earth reverence

Those who carry the cunning folk imprint are being summoned—not to replicate the past, but to forge what’s next.
Your gifts—long labeled too much or too strange—are needed for the transformation ahead.

💠 My Own Remembering

For years, I thought I was the problem.

I tried to polish myself into someone more “normal”—people pleasing woman, more rational, less mystical. But I couldn’t ignore the whisperings in the soil, the dreams, the synchronicities.

It wasn’t until I listened to my spirit and remembered my lineage that everything began to shift.

I wasn’t breaking down.

I was breaking open.

And as I spoke this aloud, others gathered—others who had been carrying their own fragments of ancient knowing, others who were ready to remember too.

🪧 The Path We Walk Together

Here, we do not apologize for our sensitivity.

We do not suppress our knowing to make others comfortable.

We do not rush to abandon mystery, magic, or relationship with the more-than-human world.

In this space, we:

🌿 Reclaim the ancient and future power of the cunning folk lineage

🔥 Honor the edge as sacred ground and initiation site

🌌 Embrace intuitive wisdom, dreaming, and Earth-tending as leadership skills

You’re not lost.
You’re a cunning folk waking up in a time when the world needs you most.

✨ Your Invitation

“What if I’m not broken?”

“What if I’m awakening to a lineage I was born to remember?”

You're not here to survive the system.
