Werewolf Transformation

by David Artsmith – Suspend your disbelief. The world is far stranger than anyone imagines. So let’s hypothesize. Could a werewolf be real? Is it possible for a human to take on animal characteristics, in a physical way?

First we have to try and define the word werewolf. There are many different ways of depicting such a creature, which have been imagined in countless books, movies, works of art, and multi-media presentations. In general the term werewolf refers to some human that takes on wolf like properties. Usually these properties are physical. In some cases these changes are only psychological in nature, however its hard to classify that as a magical condition.

There are several ways that a human could be turned into a werewolf. The easiest and most obvious is magic. You can use magic to explain everything with a simple word. In this case its as easy as saying a magical word and having the creature transform immediately into the wolf.

Another, more subtle way for a human to become a werewolf is through science. Genetic experimentation could theoretically allow scientists to craft a werewolf from the womb. There are surgical procedures which can account for the transformation of the werewolf.

A virus or a bacteria is another choice. It might be possible for a microorganism to infect a person, causing they’re cells to mutate in such a way that the person takes on the physical attributes of a wolf.

Then of course you have simple werewolf transfiguration. This involves taking the atoms in a body and rearranging them manually, using some sort of field generated by a device. This would theoretically leave the persons personality in tact, while only changing their outward appearance.

While the magic and science of werewolves may not exist right now, as time moves forward we could come to a point where some of these things are possible. It takes the visionaries of imagination to light the path of the future.

Early Christian Animal Legends

Author: Aldouspi  |  Category: Animal Legends  |  Comments (0)  |  Add Comment

When it comes to Christian Animal Legends, certain animals are known to symbolize specific defects or strength in humans. For example, the bat is a symbol of the night. And in Western society, this is a symbol of something bad. This demonizing of bats maybe connected to the vampire bats. However, in a country like China, the bat is a symbol of good fortune, happiness and long life.

The early Christians considered the bats to be the “birds of the devil,” as they have a strong resemblance to rats and are nocturnal. Therefore, the bats are considered symbols of fear and of the powers of darkness and chaos. Albrecht Dürer created a print titled Melancholia in 1514 showing a bat with open wings. The name of the engraving: the first state of melancholy.

Toads are also viewed as creatures that are unclean. Because they can expels a poison that irritates the eyes and skin, toads are seen as a symbols of death. In fact, in mythology, the toads are animals that are connected with the devil. A well known reference to toads in the Bible is as part of the plagues set upon Egypt in the time of Moses.

The painting, The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch depicts a woman with a frog around her chest who has an ass as her partner. The woman is Superbia, which in Latin means pride. Therefore, we can say that the in Christian animal legends the frog is a symbol of depravity.

The hedgehog was considered to be a symbol of gluttony. According to legend, the hedgehog meets his thorns and fruit will get more food it needs. However, Today, the hedgehog is seen as a symbol of gentleness and friendliness with which you can trust.

In early Christianity, the pig was a symbol of lust, greed and gluttony. St. Anthony the Great, is often depicted as an old man carrying a staff and is associated with a pig. This symbolized his victory over the demon of gluttony. The painting entitled The Visitation with Saint Nicholas and Saint Anthony Abbot of Piero di Cosimo shows only a pig in the background symnbolizing the glluttony had been left behind. Ironically. today, pigs are considered more as symbols of wealth and savings. Remember that piggy bank you had as a child?
