THE PACK Message Boards

To Red-Eye: I definitely agree that nowadays our fear of wolves has mostly profit to blame. I find it funny that we think we need to regulate nature to keep it in balance when our method of regulation is generally to kill to keep numbers low. Rather arrogant to think that we know how to regulate nat...

I'm not sure if I agree with all of your premise. It think that humans in general have an innate attraction to the superhuman power of animals, and that the Indo-European and Native American affinity for wolves is no different than, for example, the South American tribes' affinity for the jaguar. Wh...

I've already posted a few and thought I should formally introduce myself. I've been an occasional lurker on this board for almost two years now, but I've never been one for internet communities so I kept to myself. But finally, the allure of a group of fellow werewolf-enthusiasts (who aren't general...

When I think of evil werewolves, I tend to think of them as evil because they are animalistic, out of control, not entirely sentient. So for me the fact that they could perpetuate the idea that they were not evil would mean to me that there are likely at least some who really aren't. Hopefully that ...

The science aside, the single most compelling argument for me is the fact that there are no weres th...

Indeed those are the ones. And, as it turns out, I was misspelling the Irish legend when I was searching for it. Thanks on both accounts.

I agree, I'd like to hear more about the legend as well.

I can't remember where I found it right off-hand, but I recently read a reference to a unique Medieval werewolf trial wherein the accused party claimed that she was indeed a physical werewolf and that werewolves were actually warriors of God who helped the angels battle the forces of Satan. Interest...

I don't know why anyone would consider therian types to be dangerous at all. Folks might find their views odd, but that kind of spirituality is personal. On the other hand, I can see why people might find someone who believes they can p-shift to be dangerous, because lycanthropy is well known to be ...

I'd be a whole lot more convinced by the Bray Road stories if the witnesses were closer together in their tesitmonies. As it stands, though the differences between individual witnesses are huge, so I'm inclined to think that they're not terribly trustworthy. It'd be awesome if it was real, but not l...
