On Werewolves

What is a werewolf according to its Mythological constructs? A man, who appears as a man most of the time. Who actually preys on others around them, while keeping the appearance of being just a man. Something blood thirsty, something vicious, something that hides in the shadows and promotes chaos, death, and disorder. A predator, something feared. Something with a large amount of misunderstanding, innuendo, assumption and superstition around it. A Mythological construct borne out of superstition that people were killed (most of the time for no good reason) over. So let's see..... Anton LaVey chooses the name Satanism for what he puts on paper. Anton LaVey calls Satanic women witches. Anton LaVey writes an essay on becoming a Werewolf. There's a common thread there that touches upon what Satanism is beyond just the written words. *Note, I will be fleshing this out later to be a full essay on misunderstood Archetypes within Satanism.
