Interview with a Werewolf
By Caroline Asher
Werewolf legends have been terrorizing us for centuries. From folk tales told in quiet villages after sundown to the big screen monsters of Hollywood, the werewolf remains one of our most terrifying nightmares. Not as stylish as the vampire, and more intelligent and dangerous than the flesheating ghoul, werewolves have a reputation as vicious bloodthirsty killers, stalking mankind through the dark forests on moonlit nights.
But is this image accurate? When did this idea of the shapeshifting werewolf become common? Although the classic Western idea of the werewolf could be mostly derived from the Greek legend of Lycaeon, there are Werebeast legends from all parts of the world. In other cultures, instead of werewolves, shapeshifters could transform into bears, foxes, cats of all sizes but especially jaguars or tigers, or birds of prey. Shamans were often believed to possess the ability to transform themselves into animals. The berserker legends of Scandinavia no doubt contributed to the Western European were legends, as the berserker warriors often wore bear skins during battle, and must have been terrifying when the heat of battle was upon them.

An In Depth Look at the Therian Condition
Written by Gorlocke 10-09-06
Predominantly in therian research, we have put much focus on the essence of therianthropy. The essence being the underlying origins and causes of the therian condition. Unfortunately, for all the research that has gone into this subject, we seem to have come off empty handed. We have learned much, and found a greater understanding for what therianthropy is, but find a continuous wall in research regarding the definitive roots and origins. This leads me to the conclusion that perhaps we are jumping ahead, and should put less focus on the essence of therianthropy. Therefore, throughout this article I hope to discuss the therian model, gradually removing the factor of essence from the discussion. Like all of my articles, what follows is not meant to be used as a handbook on the subject of therianthropy. All views expressed are the views of one man, and do not reflect the views of the therian community as a whole. For questions or comments, an email address is located at the end of this article.

An Individual History of Therianthropy
By Gorlocke September 2, 2006
At a young age, I came to the insane and yet somehow logical conclusion that I was a panther. Back then we didn't have any real concepts of therianthropy, no one had dreamed up any such words at the time. It's difficult to look back on that time of my life and recount things in any great detail, but in the following paragraphs that is exactly what I will try to accomplish. This document is an essay on my own individual history as a therian, and will detail much of my own personal perspective and research on the subject of Therianthropy.

| Vampires vs. Werewolves (Fact & Fiction) |

| On Wednesday, January 25, 2006 ransim wrote : |
With the advent of such movies as Underworld & Underworld: Evolution, the people outside of our community again seem to think that we must obviously be fighting some unending war against the werewolves. The reality however is again, nothing like fiction, but there are those within the community who continually perpetrate this story. The idea that because vampires take energy or blood, and thus life from donors and others means that we are inherently at odds with werewolves who love life and nature.

Psychological Aspect:
1.)A patient reports in a moment of clarity or looking back the he sometimes feels as an animal or has felt like one.
2.)A patient behaves in a manner that resembles animal behaviour, for example crying, grumbling or creeping.
My Article:
Under the terms of clinical Lycanthropy it is essentially a person going through a state of behavior that causes them to act like or think they are animals, a brain scan was conducted on a few people and it was shown that parts of the brain produced unusual activity and the subjects in question reported their bodies were changing shape and that there belief of these incidents were very genuine in their mind.
