STORY TELLING
The Phantom Wolf, The Phantom Wolf is as old as time. Ever since man began to hunt he has followed the wolf, the consummate thinking predator. Men hunted in bands like the wolf and soon he began to imagine his own wolf like nature.
Shape shifting allowed men to assume different forms to perform prodigies of magic or assume god like powers. Men became were-creatures - tigers, bears - but the most powerful, and to others, the most sinister, was the werewolf.
In this hour, you will witness the evolution of the wolf in man's imagination, how he conceived of his wolfish nature 10,000 or more years ago, how the Vikings made the wolf the great ravening beast that consumed the world, so called beserkers who took on the fury of the wolf raiding and killing with inhuman appetites. Within the old religion of witchcraft the wolf man took on the form we know best, the werewolf, the lycanthrope who cast a spell that transformed him into fearsome, savage hunter of the night.
Society feared the werewolf, even among its most powerful and in their fear conducted great witch and wolf hunts to scour out the threat. The inquisition burned countless thousands of witches and werewolves.
Our story traces these fearful phenomena and how they arose, a timeless story that is still with us as men struggle to expunge the dark sides of their nature.
