Devilry

Our venerable for bearer Rev. Montague Summers eagerly devoured the subject of the European Werewolf in a single manuscript, and much of what we now recount and know of the subject is from his delicate mind. He studiously pointed out that the origin of the shapeshifter is nothing new, it existed from the dawn of creation, and as we will see, existed even to this day. He saw the creature as he saw the world, a direct dichotomy of good and evil, black and white. The Shapeshifter was one who denied his humanity, who used unsound and unholy devices to achieve his evil ends. He scorned God and his creation. He distained his fellow man and desired his ultimate destruction. He was a blasphemer, a heretic, a reviler.

Many were his devise to change, the most common being a pelt of a wolf, made into a coat or belt to be fastened around him. Sometimes it was a special cream that was rubbed all over the body that allowed the transformation to take place. Often times it was the Devil himself who provided these malicious artifacts, a trade of sorts with the Lord of lies. For you soul you could “live deliciously” and have power the likes of which you could not imagine.

Steve Cook of WTCM-FM in Traverse City recorded a song for April fool’s day in 1987 called The Legend. The song recounts a strange myth whispered by his friends and family. The joke was on him when he became inundated with stories from listeners who claimed to have seen a strange dog or wolf like creature which stood on its hind legs.

The song took on new life however when Grand Rapids Press ran an article about an unknown animal near Luther which ripped apart screens and mangled door frames trying to enter the small cabin in the middle of the woods. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources investigation ruled out a bear and said it was some kind of unknown Canine. Those versed in the Occult might see a link to Sabine Barin-Gould’s recounting of the Baltic legends of werewolves that would try force their way into homes at night. If they succeeded, they would kill everyone inside.

Werewolves

The dark arts used by sorcerers through the ages was often an amalgamation of ancient wisdom mixed with the dominate religion of the time. Abramelin said in his own book that his magic could be practiced by anyone who believed in God, be he Christian, Muslim, or Jew. A city on the bayou stands today, as it did one hundred and fifty years ago, as a microcosm of race, religion, and politics of America. New Orleans stood at the beginning of the 19th Century as a place were strange things were told on every corner. African and European, slave with free, Catholicism with witchcraft, blended into the most eclectic communities the world has ever known. In this community, a mixing of religions also took place, spiritual folkways of the African diaspora blended and was practiced alongside traditional Christianity, Voodoo wasn’t born in New Orleans, but it certainly was defined and took root there. And among its practitioners, Queens were often looked up to as leaders of a sort. People would come to them for advice or help, weather it was a jealous lover or success of their business, to purchase gris-gris, or to attend a ritual. And among all the Queens, one name stands above the rest, Marie Laveau.

If you ever find yourself vacationing on the majestic Islands of the Cyclades archipelago, perhaps overlooking the beautiful beaches of Santorini, or maybe on the ancient cobblestone steps of Mykonos and you hear an unexpected knock at your door after dark, it might be wise, as the locals would tell you, to wait for a second knock, least you become a victim of the isles ancient and most wicked inhabitant, the Vorvolika. Seeming to be the most impatient of monsters, if the first call is not answered, it will move on to your neighbors. If it happens that you do answer its beckoning cry, you will find the doorway devoid of any presence. You have however, opened the door to your own doom, and will suffer some strange fate not long after. Such is the curse of the Greek Vampire.
