aye, I do.
I have read of rituals that you can actually be turned into one by doing.
Though if I catch you going out into the woods and killing a wolf for this purpose I HOPE THAT THE DARKEST OF FORCES KILLS YOU MERCILESSLY!
i do believe, not because I've seen one wich I don't, but my grandfather says that when he was around 22 some folks on a town near were he lived caught one and them made some sort of ritual to make him normal again.
Aye? That reminds me of something..
I live in the south parts of the states.
My aunt told me of a story my great, great, grandfather told her.
One day when they were coming back from town (this was when they still needed a horse and carriage lol) it was rather dark. Late. I live on the same road this happend, a small country dirt road just off the side of 300 acres of wild woodland that we own Lol.
Anyway on the way down they heard something behind them, it was big, but they didn't see it. Probably... seven to ten feet tall? Idk lol but it followed them, kept up with the horses. When they pulled in and got into the house, it stayed on the road and roared at them. Then... left.
I believe when I was younger, like, 5 or six, I used to see things running through the woods.
And even standing straight up in the fields.
It may have been my imagination but idk.
Well, since the other thread has a lot about psychic vampires or psionic vampires, I'll say there's a story about a psionic werewolf... Dion Fortune's book "Psychic Self-Defense" talks about her experiences with two people's "lower self."
New Age texts talk all the time about the "higher self" that knows the lessons you need to learn in ever life, and tries to guide you towards the future, but the "lower self" seems like the part that remembers your vices and grudges in past lives and tries to act on it, for example unconscious astral projection to attack people in their dreams because they hurt you in a past life, or just causing the wildest fluctuations in personality while awake. Dion Fortune attributes such behavior of the etheric body to learning dark magic in a past life, so it's technically a psionic 'witch' if that's not redundant, but because of the aggressiveness and intuitive subconscious involvement so removed from the "civilized" self I consider this psi lycanthropy. Even if the attacking etheric self may not take the form of the wolf, it can... so maybe psi-therianthropy? because it's very primal influence. What do you think?
Werewolves aren't the only creatures sorcerers can turn into; there are other animals like geese, bears, salmon etc. but they're used for dark purposes.
