The Cult of the Beast and Slavic Werewolves. From the Lyutichi and Berendeys to the Werewolves and the Sworn Magpies

In ancient times, people intuitively felt their kinship with animals and birds, honored them as elder brothers and patrons. The Slavs preserved this cult of the beast from the times of their ancestors-hunters and carried it through centuries and generations, and the ability to turn into a wolf or fly an eagle under the clouds was considered honorable. The gift of werewolfism was bestowed on the Magi, princes and heroes.

After reading this book, you will learn what are the differences between the werewolves in the myths and beliefs of the Slavs and the monsters of Western Europe? What ways of transformation into a beast and a bird keep ancient legends? And how to keep a human soul in the body of a wolf?
