LYCANTHROPY!!! WHAT IS IT?

WHAT IS LYCANTHROPY? WELL...IT IS THE TRANSFORMATION FROM HUMAN TO BEAST. MOST LIKELY, A WEREWOLF. IT CAN ALSO MEAN ANY KIND OF "CHANGE" FROM HUMAN TO ANIMUS, OR AN ANIMAL PERSONIFICATION....AS SUCH. WE, AS MAGICKIANS USE THIS "CHANGE" AS A TOOL IN RITUAL PRACTICE TO BECOME ONE WITH OUR MOST PRIMAL SELVES.

WE TAKE ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THESE ANIMALS, SUCH AS A WOLF...TO ALIGN OURSELVES WITH THAT ANIMALS POWER!!! FOR INSTANCE....A WOLF HAS VERY KEEN EYESIGHT AND HEARING. IT ALSO IS A GREAT HUNTER. IT'S ALWAYS ON THE "PROWL" AS SUCH. WE CAN TAP INTO THIS POWER BY MEDITATING ON THESE ABILITIES, THAT THIS ANIMAL HAS. THUS, MAKING US ONE OF THEM!! WE CAN TAKE THIS POWER, AND USE IT IN OUR DAILY LIVES. TO MAKE US MORE MAGICKALLY STRONG.

IN RITUAL, MOST PEOPLE WHO PRACTICE LYCANTHROPY DRESS THE PART. MAKING IT A PSYCHODRAMA. MEANING..... THEY PUT ON A COSTUME OF SORTS, AND BEGIN TO ACT OUT AND FEEL LIKE THEY ARE BECOMING A WOLF. THEY ENJOY AND REVEL IN THIS TRANSFORMATION!!! SO, THE NEXT TIME YOUR FEELING A LITTLE WILD, PUT IT INTO A MAGICKAL RITUAL, AND SEE WHAT HAPPENDS.
