Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin of the Werewolf Superstition Meyer's Kleines konversations-lexikon: -der wolf ist haufig in Ost und Nordeuropa, Mittel-und Nordasien, Nordamerika, seltener in Frank reich and Belgien, den Herden gefahrlich, besonders in Russland. Encyc. Brit., XXIV under Wolf: - In northern countries the wolf is generally larger and more powerful than in the southern portion of its range. Its habits are similar everywhere. It has from time immemorial been known to man in all the countries it inhabits as the devastator of his flocks of sheep. It has speed and remarkable endurance. They usually assemble in tr00ps or packs, except in summer, and by their combined and persevering efforts are able to overpower and kill even such great animals as the American bison. Children and even grown people are not infrequently attacked by them When pressed for hunger. The ferocity of the wolf in the wild state is proverbial. Even when tamed, they can rarely be trusted by strangers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: "Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924) was a prolific writer, priest, and an eclectic scholar. He considered collecting folk songs and lore to be among his greatest achievements. His studies of folklore led him to delve into the study of werewolves and why superstitions about lycanthropy persisted over the ages in so many cultures. In addition to providing a history of the subject in this book he also recounts in detail the story of the Maréchal de Retz, who was executed in 1440 for the serial murders of children but was also suspected of being a werewolf. This work is one of the most frequently cited studies on the subject. Bound in the original red publisher's cloth with ornate gilt title to spine and gilt ornament with figure of a wolf on the front cover." -- description from The Kelmscott Bookshop, bookseller.

This book was released on 2018-08-09 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baring-Gould's eye-opening history of lycanthropy - the werewolf curse - delves deep into the lore, unearthing various historical cases, several of which date back to Ancient or Medieval times. The concept of a human transforming into a wolf has ancient origins, with several Greek and Roman authors such as Virgil, Ovid, Herodotus and Pliny raising the concept in their poetry and other writings. Rumors of sorcery that could induce a human to change was attributed to magicians in far off places such as Scythia, and such beliefs were widely held. Later, the Norse civilization's mythology introduced lycanthropy and other kinds of transformation. Humans as wolves, bears, birds and other beasts were said to appear in the northern wilds; the Norse God Odin took the form of a bird on regular occasions. Berserker warriors would clad themselves in wolf skins; Björn, son of Ulfheoin, was famed for his ability to shift between human and wolf forms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Book of Werewolves" is a work by Sabine Baring-Gould, first published in 1865. It is a comprehensive study of werewolf lore, exploring the history, mythology, and cultural significance of werewolves throughout various regions and time periods. In the book, Baring-Gould delves into the origins of werewolf beliefs, tracing them back to ancient times and examining their evolution across different cultures, including Greek, Roman, and Norse mythology, as well as medieval European folklore. He explores the psychological and societal factors that may have contributed to the development of werewolf legends, including superstition, fear of the unknown, and the human fascination with shape-shifting and the supernatural. Baring-Gould also examines real-life cases of supposed werewolf sightings and incidents, offering critical analysis and skepticism where appropriate. He discusses the legal and judicial treatment of alleged werewolves, as well as the ways in which werewolf mythology has been portrayed in literature, art, and popular culture. "The Book of Werewolves" is considered a seminal work in the study of werewolf folklore and has influenced subsequent research on the subject. Baring-Gould's comprehensive and scholarly approach to the topic continues to be valued by historians, folklorists, and enthusiasts of the supernatural.

This book was released on 2016-10-21 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is one of the finest ever penned on the subject of lycanthropy and werewolf lore. Written in the mid 1800s by the rather eccentric Sabine Baring-Gould, it covers more than 1,000 years of lore from a half dozen paths- the berserker of Norse lore, French mythology, and then-modern anecdotes of cannibalism and madness. Not relegating the werewolf just to a secular and skeptical study, nor simply to spiritual banter, Baring-Gould manages to compress an enormous span of historical material into his work; a work which is no doubt of value to the academic and those involved with the occult at the same time.

This book was released on 2021-08-27 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since before recorded history, werewolves have captivated human imagination. Simultaneously, they represent our deepest fears as well as our desire to connect with our primal ancestry. Today, werewolves are portrayed negatively, associated with violence, cruelty, cannibalism, and general malevolence. However, in ages past, legends depicted them not as monsters, but as a range of neutral to benevolent individuals, such as traveling companions, guardians, and knights. The robust legacy of the werewolf spans from prehistory, through ancient Greece and Rome, to the Middle Ages, into the Early Modern period, and finally into present-day popular culture. Over the ages, the view of the werewolf has become distorted. Media treatment of werewolves is associated with inferior writing, lacking in thought, depth, and meaning. Werewolves as characters or creatures are now generally seen as single-minded and one-dimensional, and they want nothing more than to kill, devour, and possibly violate humans. Hollywood depictions have resulted in the destruction of the true meanings behind werewolf legends that fascinated and terrified humans for so many ages. If these negative trends were reversed, perhaps entertainment might not only discover again some of the true meanings behind the werewolf myth, but also take the first steps toward reversing negative portrayals of wolves themselves, which humans have, for eons, wrongfully stigmatized and portrayed as evil, resulting in wolves receiving crueler treatment than virtually any other animal. To revive the many questions posed by lycanthropy, entertainment must show respect to the rich history of so many cultures all around the world - and rediscover the legend of the werewolf.
