    I'll try to find that.

      I don't know about the origins of werewolf stories, but a lot of major vampire myths came about out of actual events. Like in Europe there was an illness that made people appear dead so they would be burried, but grave robbers would dig them up and they would "wake-up". And in China they have large tombs and robbers would go in to hide in the early morning hours and come out at night and people thought they were vampires. Perhaps some of the werewolf legends came from similiar incidences.

      Not to say that the fatastical doesn't exist, I beleive strongly that it does, I just think that what does exist has been skewed beyond recognition because of these sort of things.
      We are what we are. Nothing more, nothing less. There is good and evil among every kind of people. It's the evil among us who rule now. -Anne Bishop, Daughter of the Blood

      I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love.
      It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss.
      Still, it was a blessing I would never relinquish. Love, genuine love, was always a cause for joy.
      -Jacqueline Carey, Naamah's Curse

        I think it's important too to realise that werewolves vary from one culture to another. In wales for example, you could only become a werewolf for a set period of time, then you had to revert to being fully human again. In parts of France you could revert but only if you had not tasted human flesh. Baring-Gould's book on Werewolves is rather old fashioned in places, but still an excellent read.

            I love lord loss. The entire series has generous amounts of fact woven around fiction.

            About were wolves, I think many supposedly mythological beasts exist. I belive the modern term is skinwalker though.
