The Many Ways To Become A Werewolf | Werewolves

Skip to content

I bet many of you are wondering how someone is turned into a werewolf. We all know the most popular way which involves being bitten by another werewolf. But if you take a look at folklore, old customs and traditions throughout the world you’ll learn that there are several ways someone was believed to turn into a werewolf. A warning though, many of these ideas came from the middle ages, a time when people believed in most anything, so some things on this list may be a bit ridiculous.

How To Become A Werewolf

• Being bitten by another werewolf
• Being scratched or clawed by another werewolf
• Selling your soul to the devil
• Wearing an enchanted belt made of wolf skin/fur, known as a wolf-belt
• Applying a magic salve to one’s body
• Black magic and witchcraft
• Eating lycanthropous flowers (white or yellow flowers said to be in the Balkans)
• Inhaling certain potions
• Simply wearing an animal’s pelt
• Placing a real wolf pelt on one’s body and then drinking beer mixed with blood
• Drinking water from a wolf’s paw print
• Eating the brains of a wolf
• Spells and rituals
• Having sex with a werewolf
• Eating an unborn fetus
• Wearing a belt made of the skin of a executed criminal
• Being cursed by a witch or troll
• Being born on Christmas Eve
• Being blasphemous and getting cursed for your sins
• Genetics (having a werewolf in your family)
• Drinking from a lycanthropous stream
• Drinking downstream from wolves
• Sleeping on a Friday night under the full moon with the moon shining directly on your face
• Being the seventh son
• Being a child conceived under a new moon
• Not going to confession for 10 years
• Being gruesomely murdered on a full moon
• Being born on a full moon Friday
• Tasting human flesh
• Being chosen by the Native American wolf spirit

Like I said, folks in the middle ages believed in anything. Instead of explaining things with science, they explained it with religion and superstition. So for those that wish to become a werewolf, don’t expect any of these methods to actually work.
