In The Cunning Craft, Frisvold strives to clarify in a hermeneutic manner the deeper levels of the wise arts, with a particular focus on their connection with the opposer, more commonly known as the Devil, the mysteries of the Night, and the Crossroads where power, wisdom, and mysteries are found. In casting a wide net across the world and history, we will be able to recognize the cunning one and the cunning craft in its various guises everywhere where it is found. An exploration of the linguistic and semantic factors connecting the feared lamia and Strix with the Cunning Craft set of the book that measures the cunning path by the use of both hands. Here, we find the Devil being as vital to the craft as St. Peter, Lucifer is as crucial as God himself because the Cunning Craft is the art of the wise ones and wisdom is also found where saints fear to tread and where the fair folk seek to meet the sorcerous ones on the solitary path. The Cunning One was often someone both learned in magical techniques as well as empowered by the denizens from the other side, the famulus that served as the wise bridge between the visible and invisible realms. Hence, you will here find discourses on the value of the Picatrix and Giordano Bruno, along with rituals that celebrate the mysteries of the Sabbath through poison and healing, side by side with rituals that celebrate the witchblood unleashed by Master Cain himself. The importance of the Devil and the mysteries veiled by Venus and Moon are central in The Cunning Craft, making this a worthy read for the sorcerer and the witch, the historian and the curious.
