Download or read book Werewolves written by Bob Curran and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of us are familiar with the idea of a werewolf—that someone can change, either deliberately or unwillingly, into a ravenous creature—but is there some justification for such a belief? And if so, how is it achieved—through magical potions or ointments or simply by the light of the full moon? Or is the whole thing simply a form of delusion, the product of a disturbed mind? In Werewolves, author Dr. Bob Curran examines the deep psychological perceptions about the linkage of man with the natural, bestial world. Do the roots of such a belief lie in the supernatural world, or are there other explanations? How has the discovery of feral children, living in the wild, shaped our ideas of human-beasts? And what is the future of such beliefs? The book considers genetically-based speculations regarding the possible fusion of human and animal genes in order to alleviate some human diseases and suffering. Is the idea of man into beast really so far fetched? Werewolves is an essential reference book which looks, in depth, at a fascinating subject. One word of warning though: it must never be read under the baleful rays of a full moon. You have been warned!

This book was released on 2016-10-07 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Werewolf – Lycanthropy” is a vintage treatise on the subject of werewolves written by Montague Summers, exploring evidence for their existence found in historical records, literature, folklore, etc. This fascinating volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in the supernatural and occult, and it is not to be missed by collectors of Summers' famous work. Also included is the essay, “The Origin of the Werewolf Superstition” by Caroline Taylor Stewart. Augustus Montague Summers (1880 – 1948) was an English clergyman and author most famous for his studies on vampires, witches and werewolves—all of which he believed to be very much real. He also wrote the first English translation of the infamous 15th-century witch hunter's manual, the “Malleus Maleficarum”, in 1928. Other notable works by this author include: “A Popular History of Witchcraft” (1937), “Witchcraft and Black Magic” (1946), and “The Physical Phenomena of Mysticism” (1947). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

Book Synopsis The Werewolf: Past and Future: Lycanthropy's Lost History and Modern Devolution by : Maegan A. Stebbins
Download or read book The Werewolf: Past and Future: Lycanthropy's Lost History and Modern Devolution written by Maegan A. Stebbins and published by Justin R Stebbins. 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.
Book Synopsis The Book of Were-Wolves by : S Baring Gould
Download or read book The Book of Were-Wolves written by S Baring Gould and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-28 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Definition of Lycanthropy--Marcellus Sidetes--Virgil--Herodotus--Ovid--Pliny--Agriopas--Storyfrom Petronius--Arcadian Legends--Explanation offered.WHAT is Lycanthropy? The change of manor woman into the form of a wolf, either throughmagical means, so as to enable him or her to gratify the taste for human flesh, or through judgmentof the gods in punishment for some great offence.This is the popular definition. Truly it consists in a form of madness, such as may be found in mostasylums.Among the ancients this kind of insanity went by the names of Lycanthropy, Kuanthropy, orBoanthropy, because those afflicted with it believed themselves to be turned into wolves, dogs, orcows. But in the North of Europe, as we shall see, the shape of a bear, and inAfrica that of a hyæna, were often selected in preference. A mere matter of taste! According toMarcellus Sidetes, of whose poem {Greek perì lukanðrw'pou} a fragment exists, men are attacked withthis madness chiefly in the beginning of the year, and become most furious in February; retiring forthe night to lone cemeteries, and living precisely in the manner of dogs and wolves.Virgil writes in his eighth Eclogue: --Has herbas, atque hæc Ponto mihi lecta venenaIpse dedit Moeris; nascuntur plurima Ponto.His ego sæpe lupum fieri et se conducere sylvisMoerim, sæpe animas imis excire sepulchris, Atque satas alio, vidi traducere messes.And Herodotus: --"It seems that the Neuri are sorcerers, if one is to believe the Scythians and theGreeks established in Scythia; for each Neurian changes himself, once in the year, into the form of awolf, and he continues in that form for several days, after which he resumes his former shape."--(Lib. iv. c. 105.)See also Pomponius Mela (lib. ii. c. 1) "There is a fixed time for each Neurian, at which they change, if they like, into wolves, and back again into their former condition."
