Have you?<br /><br />There is a mental illness that psychologists called "lycanthropy" - people who are delusional can develop the belief that they are a wolf or some other animal. Usually you need to treat it like any other delusion, with a combination of anti-psychotic drugs and therapy.<br /><br />You would treat a delusion like that with healing magick, just like you would any other illness. Also, magick should complement regular medical care, not replace it.

I'm a Thelemite and my philosophy is based on accepting my essential nature as it really is too, so there's not a lot for me to disagree with on that front.<br /><br />I just think it's silly that they refer to themselves as "werewolves." In regular English usage the word means a person who can physically transform into a wolf, not somebody who "embraces their animal nature" or somesuch. That's a completely different meaning, and it seems to me like the group is trying to reclaim "werewolf" merely on the grounds that it aligns them with a pop culture trend.<br /><br />Maybe that sort of cynical marketing strategy will work for them and they will in fact become a force in the occult community. I would warn them, though, to be careful that their adoption of pop culture ideas does not lead them to inadvertantly support the idea that Paganism is some sort of fashion accessory instead of a real spiritual practice. There's too much of that out there already.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-9272873488895178202011-12-06T11:11:42.354-06:002011-12-06T11:11:42.354-06:00Perhaps you would do well to read this article. h...Perhaps you would do well to read this article. http://paganvoice.wordpress.com/2011/10/17/the-reality-of-the-werewolf-cathedral/<br />*It seems to be a very realistic philosophy and religion, based on nature as it really is. To put it bluntly they have taken the fluff out of Paganism. And don’t we all owe them just a little for that. Like it or not The Werewolf Cathedral is the type of group that creates real change and progress for the occult community. Why? Because they are original. Yes, that’s right, they are doing something that no one else in the world is doing. So for all those people who have written these negative articles about The Werewolf Cathedral, I say take a good hard look at yourself first. I believe The Werewolf Cathedral is going to be a guiding force in the occult community for many years to come. So whether you like it or not you should show them respect for what they have done, otherwise you just show your own character flaw, JEALOUSY!*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
