The Birth of the Modern Werewolf - Mythillogical

It’s another full moon, and Charles and Cassie are still trying to learn everything they can before they transform into werewolves! They delve into Slavic and Estonian folklore, 19th century German stories, the origins of Hollywood werewolves, and the psychiatric condition of lycanthropy, and even find a few other wolf figures from around the world! https://www.patreon.com/theHistocrat https://bsky.app/profile/thehistocrat.bsky.social Mythillogical logo by Ettore Mazza.
