Book Reviews
People of the Outside
By: Lee Morgan - Moon Books - $14.95

Overview: 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.

Verdict: The People of the Outside: Witchcraft, Cannibalism, and the Elder Folk 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.

In what is not your every-day prose on witchcraft and those that practice it, instead what author Lee Morgan brings forth in his new book entitled People of the Outside: Witchcraft, Cannibalism and the Elder Folk is a solid reveal of how witchcraft owned our skin long before we even knew it could have done.

Moreover, we slipped on into it down the drain pipe of a birth cord and witchcraft had us sewn into the flesh-purse of our baby hide. We absorbed her along with the ancestor life-from-death cord, and she made us all into little aliens.

Written on kunanyi, muwinina country, for as he himself puts it, it always was, and always will be, given that the land was never ceded, the book is enthralling from start to finish and clearly showcases the author’s impassioned dedication to everything that free flows within it.

As noted, this is a much deeper look into the world and history of witchcraft and paganism and all that goes with it and therefore brings us an implored spoken truth of the history of magick, the witchcraft and the occult; that should, if taken in, entice the reader to want to search out more works by the author.

About the Author - Lee Morgan is an English Australian currently living in Lutruwita/Tasmania. With over twenty years involvement in Traditional Witchcraft, Lee’s writing has been published internationally in the fields of fiction, poetry and non-fiction.
