Werewolves: Psychology of Lycanthropy

53: Werewolves: Psychology of Lycanthropy - In folklore, a werewolf, or occasionally lycanthrope, is an individual who can shapeshift into a wolf, or especially in modern film, a therianthropic hybrid wolf–humanlike creature, either purposely or after being placed under a curse or affliction, often a bite or the occasional scratch from another werewolf, with the transformations occurring on the night of a full moon. Did and do these mysterious changelings exist, or is it merely a form of madness of the human mind? Hop into the history books with Joel as he looks at lycanthropy and its indelible mark on not only the ancient world but modern times as well. He starts with Sabine Baring-Gould's Book of Werewolves, one of the pillars of exploration into the myth of the werewolf. He explores the ancient world of Greek, Roman and Norse mythology where the lycanthrope seems to have originated. Lastly, he looks at the Biblical story of Nebuchadnezzar II and if he was truly just mad or something far more wolf-like.
