    Morgan Drake Eckstein

    Morgan Drake Eckstein is a ceremonial witch and magician living in Denver. I would tell you more; but everyone's lawyer insists that the events that Morgan said happened never did. In other words, someone is willing to spend a lot of money and time in court to prove that Morgan has never lived In Denver, or been a pagan ever--just so that they can continue to abuse their organizations in the name of that sweet Apex Monopoly over all things magical and mystical. Obey your Witch Queen by boycotting this author and all of his events. Don't you love She Who Must Rule all witches in the whole wide world?!?
