Alchemy Arts Classes: Therianthopy
(This is a 'majick' store in Chicago, IL: 100+ herbs for spells, books on witchcraft and etc, old artifacts, etc. Sorry, no Wolfsbane, but if you want to attend, I can order some for everyone to 'nibble' on... >.>...)

Therianthropy (inherent shapeshifting) by Lupa
Ever wondered what it's like to be a werewolf? Therianthropy is the modern interpretation of inherent internalized animal energy--in other words, being human and animal simultaneously. Learn about what therianthropy is (and isn't), what it's like to be a therian, and the magical implications thereof. Class cost, $10.

I just wish I could shift... just at least once before I possibly die, or at least to witness one

...wait...
I don't think one can take a class to learn to be a therian.
...but then I guess one could assume that only people who potentially ARE therians would be interested in attending.
Sounds like it might at least be amusing, at the very least.
...though, sadly, Chicago is a little too far for me to travel. That would be at least a TWO DAY (48 hours) journey, round trip, by car from where I am...and I have niether the time or the money for such a thing.
...that, and I've allready done my soul searching and ruled out Theriantropy as the source of my wierdness, so there would not be much there for me anyway.

No thanks. I'm confused enough as it is.

I think it's a matter of differing (and unyielding) opinions on what therianthropy is...Lone_Wolf wrote:Why is that?Mix Bouda-Lycaon wrote:I'm getting real sick of people saying that...Merrypaws wrote:...I already know what's it like being a therian.
-.-...
Mix Bouda-Lycaon's definition has very little, from what I can infer from the description above, to do with the common definition I see used by most people.
In an area (such as the topic of therianthropy) where exist so very many varying opinions, anyone who believes that they know the only right answer is bound to become frustrated when they see other people ignorantly or deliberately spread 'false' information. I imagine what they see as 'pretenders' would especially get their goat.
The solution here, I think, is to realize that we're talking about two different things here, even though we're calling them by the same name. Keep them clearly separated in your mind.
In my experience, therians tend to have very strong and very personal beliefs about what it entails.
So, if anyone wishes to start a debate about therianthropy, it ought to be treated with the same extreme I-must-tread-lightly care given to a debate about religion because, as has been demonstrated in many different message boards around the world, it is a subject that can easily explode into a bitter conflagration.

heh, i've already made peace with my inner wolf. whatever the medium of communication may be i don't care. and the way the ad is worded there is no definite chance of physical changing or anything. it sounds like some nifty thing for a lark, but i'm not really interested.
have fun to everyone going, i'm staying where i am and laughing at you guys when you get whacked out on the wolfy-weed.

i'm just stating what i know and what i think, if you don't like it, you can leave me alone.
i am the well-read werewolf

Wait Alchemy? As in those "scientists" who tried to make gold out of rocks and find the elixer of eternal life? What's that have to do with anything!?

As I live nowhere near Chicago, I can't go. But I am interested in what they may say in the class. Unlike most (note that the word most does not mean the same as all, so don't get your tail in a knot) therians I don't immediately dismiss things like this as being crap. In fact even things that most would avoid like the plague (like that book by Rosalyn Greene) can have interesting, even useful, information in them if only people would put their ginormagantuan egos aside and try to look at it from the viewpoint of an impartial observer. I would very much like to go. I just can't get there.
Exactly. I would go if I could just out of curiousity (I've spent $10 in worse ways). I consider myself to be a therian but that does not mean that I wouldn't at the very least enjoy the presentation. I would say it cannot be "learned" as well. It is actually an integral part of you after all. Still, it could be fun and interesting.Timber-WoIf wrote:if i did attend, it would be more to lean about a therians way of thinking. I have done some reasearch, and from everythig ive read it CANT be learned. Not the true kind anyway. I guess because i am not one myself, but id still like to have some idea...
