The linked article adds another level of subtlety to what you’ve written. That is, that in that area anyway, people who were “cunning folks” (ie. healers but also probably able to perform other low-key “magic”) had a level of immunity, and worked to keep accusations of witchcraft at bay. The author makes the [insightful, IMO] point that by the time a formal accusation of witchcraft was leveled, the person was done for. In all likelihood rumors had been swirling for a long time. Cunning folks had good PR, so even those on the “outs” socially could immunize themselves from the accusations, and if accused from the harshest of punishments.
