Taste the Forbidden History.
Witchcraft owned your skin before you ever knew you did. You slipped into it down the drain-pipe of a birth cord, and it had you sewn into the flesh-purse of your baby hide. Many tales have come down to us over the past few hundred years, stories of outsiders reflected in a mirror darkly. The People of the Outside is a different sort of history, some of the deepest buried sediment to be found in a cave and sifted for traces of the past. It is a history of the dust. It pulls apart binaries and invites us to use our hybrid brains - every tool, from science to intuition - to untangle the elf-locks that endure as a clever-cord, an elongated witch’s ball, one that reaches all the way back to our own almost extinct ancestors. Welcome to the witchcraft of the dispossessed, from the almost until recently forgotten forebears to eating people, and an unflinching examination of what it means to be a person of the outside.

There are not too many books that take us deeper into the world and history of witchcraft. In his new book People of the Outside, Lee Morgan reveals the history of witchcraft and paganism that many authors and scholars “gloss” over to make magick more palatable. This wonderful book shows no fear and tells us the truth of the history of magick and witchcraft so we can embrace the deeper mysteries. ~ Chris Allaun, author of the Black Book of Johnathan Knotbristle and Otherworld: Ecstatic Witchcraft for the Spirits of the Land
Lee’s book offers the reader a window into the past not often opened and peered through by occult & witchcraft historians. It was truly informative and eye opening. Which is the hallmark of a book by this author. ~ Eron V. Mazza, host of the Witching Hour Podcast
Lee Morgan is a timeless modern prophet who evokes stunning and powerful beauty with this awe-inspiring poetry and prose. When I read the writing of Lee Morgan I am seen and I See. One of the greatest and most artful voices of contemporary Craft. ~ Fio Gede Parma, initiate, mentor, cunning person, and author
Morgan exhibits a puckish pleasure in crafting an interior world for the reader to cross into while hedge-riding his language, so that they may immerse themselves within the crucible of embodied knowing. It is no small feat to write from within the place one desires to occupy; it is a singular and distinguished mark of an artist, and an artist Morgan certainly is. ~ Sasha Ravitch, author and astrologer
