Werewolf myths
Lycanthrope is derived from the Greek language meaning wolf and man.
Only in the American movie culture does the werewolf change over involuntarily to the werewolf state because of a full moon.
The Norseman believed that a man would possess the characteristics of the animal if they wore the hide of that animal, such as a bear or a wolf.
In American Indian culture it is called the skin walker, it is considered taboo by some Native American cultures.
Werewolf myths say that you can spot a werewolf by these characteristics:
They were born on December 24th,
They have red hair,
Their index and middle finger are the same length,
And they love to eat raw meat.
I really enjoy articles tracing the history of supernatural beings. I like to see how they have evolved through writer’s imaginations.
Do you know of any werewolf myths?
