Types of Werewolves : The Many ways of Shifting
I am beginning to have an interest in Werewolves thanks to a dark satire I am working on called Wyntress Nyght’s Supernatural Crack. Because of my new found curiosity, I have decided to add them to my “Types Of” list since there seems to be so very little about them out there.
Why is that? Go figure.
Anyway, instead of jumping off into the direction of Culture names, Gods, Goddesses and so forth like I normally do….lets start off with shifting. Apparently there are tons of ways you can become a Werewolf and I find them all fascinating.
I also found that someone had already typed up this list, so therefore I don’t have to.
*grins*
Here is a piece of it:
Non-Shifting
Non-Shifting is not a type of shift, but rather a condition. There are many werebeings who have never experienced any kind of Shift. Then why do they think they are werewolves? Simple, their connection with their animal is a way of life. In a way that is very real to them, they are both human and Wolf. Their animal is intertwined with all they do, what they like, how they interact to the world. They do realize that they aren’t a Wolf by the world’s definition, yet that nevertheless is what they are. They often experience some of the symptoms of being a werewolf other than Shifting. And many (perhaps some time or another all??) of them eventually experience Shifts.
Aura Shifting
Aura Shifting is the most common type of Shift, in fact, many Shifters never have any other kind of Shift. In an Aura Shift, the Shifter will immerse him/herself in the animal’s energy, resulting in a Wolf-like mood. The Shifter will feel somewhat animalish, alert, very aware, with an often-pleasurable heightened sense of their physical body. This is very like the mindset that people playing a sport and really mentally absorbed in playing get into. If you’ve ever gotten into a different mode of awareness/concentration/feeling when deep in a Hockey game and having lots of fun, you know pretty much what this is like. Hence the phrase, "I’m in the Zone!" The only big difference is the Shifter has a definite sense of Wolfness (or whatever their totem is) to their mood. The body temp may go up a bit and the behavior will seem more lupine in general.
Astral Shifting
Astral Shifting is where the Shifter goes into the spirit world (astral plane) and Shifts there. It can take awhile to work yourself into the right frame of mind for this, so it’s not as easy as aura shifting, which you can do anywhere and get away with. Dreaming, of shifting into your animal or being your animal, or even dreaming about it, counts as Astral Shifting.

Cerebral Reviews–Pointing out the Good & Bad concerning Bound by Blood: The Awakening
This is a great Review. It points out the positive as well as the negative.

The 3D’s: Daimons, Daemons, Demons
It’s easier to just refer to these things as the 3D’s. This is an article I have been trying to do for some time. Mainly because of the fear factor and stereotypes involved. Since my mind lingers across the boundaries of the forbidden more than often—and I am not one to be told, “Don’t go there” because when that happens, I have already jumped the fence before they finish the sentence, AND I am deeply interested in what frightens people so much, the 3D’s have always caught my interest.
So with that being said, let’s explore another side to the 3D’s especially since they are a subject which inhabits my new book The Web & the Willow. (Fingers crossed, hopefully that will be published soon.)
Now we all know about Demons so there is little to say, as far as definition wise, concerning them. We know that we are supposed to be very, very, afraid of them and we know that they are pretty much employed by the devil himself. (you think they get benefits?)
We also know that even some people in the Occult INSIST that we should be weary of them but I am thinking that, that’s only because of a power trip. Why? Because those very same people in the Occult, and again, this is not everyone in the Occult or Paganism, claims to have the power to call them forth and have them do powerful deeds for them…only because that person of the Occult, has power enough to control these frightening beings.
Now I am not about to argue what another person does. I am about to point out, though, that there are people who do not believe in demons and there are people who believe in them but also feel they are wrongly misunderstood. In order to understand their argument, we must take a look at where the demon originated from.
Daimon
The words daemon, dæmon, are Latinized spellings of the Greek δαίμων (daimôn),[1]
Wikepedia
It’s even pronounced differently than Daemon or Demon which is said the same.
A Daimon (Di-mon or Di-moan—the two pronunciations I have found) was not a being feared in ancient times. In fact, the brilliant minds of Greeks named Socrates bragged these guys up in a major way.
Quote:
For instance, we know that Socrates possessed a personal daimon. "The favor of the gods," said Socrates, "has given me a marvelous gift, which has never left me since my childhood. It is a voice which, when it makes itself heard, deters me from what I am about to do and never urges me on." He spoke familiarly of this daimon, joked about it and obeyed blindly the indications it gave. Eventually, his friends never took an important step without consulting it. But the daimon had its sympathies, and when it was unfavorable to the questioner it remained absolutely silent; in that event it was quite impossible for Socrates to make it speak.
Of what order is this daimon, which manifested itself to Socrates in childhood but was also heard by Apollonius of Tyana only after he had begun to put into practice the Hermetic principles? "They are intermediate powers of a divine order. They fashion dreams, inspire soothsayers," says Apuleius. "They are inferior immortals, called gods of the second rank, placed between earth and heaven," says Maximus of Tyre. Plato thinks that a kind of spirit, which is separate from us, receives man at his birth, and follows him in life and after death. He calls it "the daimon which has received us as its portionment." The ancient idea of the daimon seems, therefore, to be analogous to the guardian angel of Christians. Source
It seems that Socrates was not the only one and with one simple Google of Daimon, a whole slew of information pops up supporting that.
Quote:
The Greek words daimon and daimonion express a determining power which comes upon man from outside, like providence or fate, though the ethical decision is left to man.(3) Source
Basically to sum up what a Daimon is, a personal familiar or spirit. It can be associated with Genius, a Roman term. They were believed to be forces of nature that played the part of messengers of the Gods…delivering them to that of man or woman. They were not believed to be good or evil…they were not feared. They were respected and pretty much, appreciated and adored. Many times, their voice came sounding like your own thoughts, warning you of something, preparing you, or urging you towards a better way.
So when did it all go south? When did the Daimon become the fearsome demon? I can’t really say for sure. I can say that they are like anything of the ancient world: Goddess, Magic, Sex, Rituals…for thousands of years they were sacred and honored until one day, they became forbidden and evil. As far as I can tell, and not meaning to point fingers here, certain in-the-beginning-Church leaders, had a lot to do with the 3D’s going to hell in a hand basket. (no pun intended)
The 3D’s became related and connected to anything Evil…Lucifer, Satan, Fallen Angels, Hell, Vampires, Werewolves, Witches, Familiars, and the list goes on and on. An entire slew of study and practice surfaced because of them. Demonologists, Exorcists and in fact, any form of suffering or bad day could be blamed on them. If your cow died, not because the dang thing was old and milked to death but because a witch had sent a demon to kill it. If you sinned, then the demons would come in the still of the night and punish you. If you had a sexual dream, it was because a demon Lilith was visiting you at night. The belief that the Goddess’ blood which brought immortality and life, became the very thing that the Vampire hungered for in his innocent, unsuspecting victims and yes, the Vampire was a demon to. Men who shifted into a wolf, became nothing more than a demon wolf.
Do I believe in Demons? No.
The only evil I have seen is in people, unfortunately. So based on certain theories that the daimon is actually linked to one’s soul and is a higher level of someone’s subconscious…maybe demons are simply a man’s true nature when he decides to do evil. Maybe we simply fear ourselves and what some of us has become.
I once witnessed a few exorcisms and while it had me shaking a few times, I had to walk away feeling as though the people possessed was allowing themselves to be this way. They seemed addicted to being ‘evil’ and had no interest in morals or anything else. Some seemed addicted to being a victim of evil. So in that aspect, they were their own demon. So possibly, when the ancients believed that the Daimon was apart of us, inside us, then maybe it is our own soul or higher subconscious. When we choose to tip the scales of evil intensions, then our soul becomes demon.
Another theory is, the ancients believed that we could become daimon and that we were daimon. A hero dies and becomes a daimon according to stories told of the daimon of a hero who could undergo apotheosis, and if he succeeded then he ended up being a God. I know the Egyptians believed that when they died, they could become a God.I can’t see becoming a God at the flick of death so maybe there is a test afterwards. Some community service of the living that needs to be done. Or maybe its a little bit of both?
I do believe this…I am open to the paranormal because of my own experiences but I do not believe that there is anything in this world that can hurt us, (spirit, paranormal wise) unless we give it the power to. If there is a bad entity in someone’s home, then in some way that person is allowing it to reap havoc. Now it could be unintentional…by giving it their fear but I have also seen cases where the living have attached themselves to this force addicted to being a victim from it. For instance, I knew a man who claimed he had done everything under the sun to rid himself of the haunting he was suffering. It followed him from place to place etc. He was sure it was a demon. While others with me, who believe in the Devil’s legions, thought it was a demon, I didn’t. I think the man was mentally addicted to the chaos…because it made him stand out. It made his life an ongoing adrenaline rush, otherwise he just went to work, came home, watched the news and went to bed. Whatever was in his home, I think he gave it power…possibly some sort of poltergeist that he was creating himself.
That’s just my opinion though…just as, I do not believe in Satan’s demons—out to steal our souls and all of that. Everyone has to draw their own conclusions though…so have at it!
See you in the grave my dark and lovely bunch!

I attempted to list all resources from web sites since that is easier for you to read up on then going out and buying a million books. The information used from those web sites however, match the information that I have and agree with. If i do not agree with it, then I will say so.
Types of Vampires: Vyrkolaka
Sounds Greek to me! Yep, even in Greece, they had vampires. So if you were thinking that the whole idea was created by Church superstitions during the Middle Ages, well think again.
Vyrkolaka—singular
Vyrkolakoi—plural
The Vyrkolakoi are people who have died only they are cursed to wander the world as soulless ghosts. Now wait, didn’t I put this under Vampires, not ghosts? Don’t panic—they are vampires or that’s what they become. What happens is, the person dies and in between dying and being buried, a demon sets up house in their body. It is the corpse- claiming- demon that is the true Vampire…while the actual person has to be a forever wandering and miserable ghost. I really don’t know what the big mystery is here. I mean what else would we do with an eternity of death? We have to haunt someone right?
Seriously though, the Demon Vampire, living in the dead person’s body runs around in the night, drinking up all the blood of the dead person’s kin until they to fall mysteriously ill and die. (I suppose it’s like running off all the living neighbors so your demon spawn family and ever close demonic friends can come move into the neighborhood to. Works for me.) Once the kin is all killed off, never fear for the Vyrkolakoi is not the prejudice type. They just love to feed off of other humans, animals and pretty much anything they can get their hands on. A delicacy of sorts is the liver. Yes, yes, they have a little Hannibal in them or maybe they are related to the Iron fingered Vampires that the Native American Indians came to dread.
Now even though the Vyrkolakoi dread the daylight, being the typical nocturnal hunters that they are, they seem to favor full, bright, lustrous moons the best. Any moon will do, however, when the sun does come up, you will find them sleeping in their graves with both eyes wide open. It seems they are a bit of a shape shifter as well, not contained to the image of the corpse they inhabit. They can change into a woman, an animal, or any image that can help them trap and bag their supper.
Now there are two ways to curse your dead to this fate. Either the person was sinful (the punishment for sin is such a drag) and or they did not receive a proper ritual during their burial. Now don’t worry…if you are one of your relatives suffer this sort of fate, you will be virtually harmless as a ghost. It pretty much the body you left behind that you and everyone else should fear.
Now if you’re a little paranoid and want to know if Aunt Bertha’s body has been inhabited by a Vyrkolaka or not, simply begin a count down of forty days. It is within that time frame that her body will rise if one of these demons has taken a liking to it. Visit her grave often and check for holes—yes, tiny holes. They don’t have to be some big, monstrous deep abyss but can resemble something as tiny as a snake hole. It is these treacherous little openings that the Vyrkolaka can enter and reenter the grave. If your thinking this is out of the question because Aunt Bertha was a hefty woman of size, think again. remember, these demons can change into anything, so squeezing through a hole the size of a golf ball is of no challenge.
If your still not sure—meaning you haven’t found Aunt Bertha getting lock jaw while her teeth are attached to your neck, then ask yourself some of these questions…
1. Did poor Aunt Bertha die of a sudden or violent death? Did she drown? Oh yeah, drowning is a common one. Was she murdered and was her death avenged? If she was, someone better be pulling a ‘Next of Kin’ right now.
2. Did her parents conceive her on an important church day? Such as a holy festival and what not? If they did then poor Bertha, her momma and daddy are all potential goners. Apparently even if YOU finally have a break from all the kids and a second to yourself…romping around with the hubby is a bad, bad thing if your supposed to be saying Holy Mary’s during some service. (Did they even have Holy Mary’s in Greece? Oh well, whatever the chant was back then)
3. If some dang fool next door cursed Aunt Bertha, yep, if someone put roots on her and she died from it, then chances are she is a Vyrkolaka.
4. Those who dared to eat any sheep which has been killed by a wolf. That’s right…if Aunt Bertha found one of Mary’s little lambs bitten in two by a big bad wolf…she better let that sucker rot.
5. Thieves, sorcerers (bummer) and EVIL doers (Dang it! I just can’t get a break!). That means if your a big, naughty sinner then you can kiss your corpse good-bye. I am actually kissing mine good-bye as we speak.
6. Was Aunt Bertha a werewolf? Vyrkolaka also refers to WEREWOLVES—I know, it just keeps getting better and better right? I am like two seconds away from spontaneously combusting as we speak, I swear. If this is the case then the body must suffer an attack, a cataleptic one and then they can shift into a wolf. But don’t worry—they do this while they are still living and then once they die, their bodies are possessed by the demon vampires. So hairy-blood-thirsty wolf in life and then your soul gets kicked to the curb while a blood thirsty demon moves in.
Oh there are tons of other ways this could happen but I just don’t have it in me to list them all. But, I will say this…if you are planning a trip to Greece and can stop off at the island of Santorini, part of the Cyclades Islands —then bring a camera and send me some pics. It was said for many, many centuries that these were the Vyrkolakoi stomping grounds. Now the reasons could be two things—the volcanic soil being black and also known to have preserved bodies or the fact that the Greeks just took all their Vyrkolakoi corpses and dumped them there. Reports as far as 1906 claim to have witnessed exorcisms done over corpses in the churches there—trying to evict that demon out, I guess.
See you in the grave! Or maybe just on the Island!!!!
C.H. Scarlett
Sick to death of the same ol’ vampire story? Tired of that poor shifter getting the silver bullet?
Ready to put your head through the wall because the Vamp always gets it no matter how darkly, irresistible he or she is?
Sick of magic and sorcery that sounds like it belongs in a Mother Goose book?
Then enter my world…
