Folk Doctoring
with Lee Morgan

Friday April 25 2025, 7pm-10pm

*In-Person • Live-streamed & Recorded*

About this presentation:

When you first wake in the morning folklore tells us you can wash away your luck force by flicking the water off your hands when you wash them for the first time. A lot of folk practices and taboos have this sensory element to them. When you wash your hands of something or flick it away instinctually you know what this means. In this unique workshop we will think about how Place is the real healer in Folk Doctoring, yet it travels at the same time. Just as my practices have travelled from Dorset, to Tasmania, to Salem. Just as crystal balls were often borrowed to bless healing waters in the past, today we practice bringing Virtue from one location to another. We will also talk about Faerie Doctoring and the old school notion that the breaking of often unknown taboos held by the Good Neighbours are often the cause of a hidden malady. This way of storying illness, and involving body-logic. Each person is encouraged to bring with them an old garment of theirs that is inches from needing to be thrown out, one they are happy to let go of at the end of this Work.

About Lee Morgan:

Lee Morgan lives on a communal homestead on kunanyi/Mt Wellington, where he teaches witchcraft and raises books, people, and ideas from the grave. He has had novels and non-fiction published by Collective Ink Books, The Witches Almanac, Three Hands Press, and Rebel Satori with an upcoming book by Crossed Crow Books. Highlights of his career have involved speaking at Watkins Books in London, being paid to do beloved research, and participating in the People's Library installation artwork in Hobart. He has held an office in his coven for decades and walked with many people through the processes of learning witchcraft, and being initiated by it. Having survived an enormous tumour that doctors warned might threaten his intellect, and a series of related complications, Lee currently is busy filling the room in his skull with new brains, writing Folk Horror, and queering the world one step at a time.
