Personal Therianthropy: To me being a were-wolf has been both the most amazing
part and the biggest bane of my life. I remember the way I found out. ( This sounds
very Typical but bear with me.) I was playing in the school sports field ( aged 11) and
I went close to the hedge. I was a loner and was always bullied so I would stay near
the hedge so no-one saw me, on this day a woman was on the other side of the
hedge in a park, she looked at me, stopped, told me "You are a were-wolf" and
trotted off. I grew up in a methodist family, in church of England schools, I learned to
read Tarot at 13, practiced my first magick at 14 and was a confessed Pagan ever
since.

I figured out how to shapeshift very early, ( probalbly about 8 or 9 years old) when I
prowled around the house on all fours, growling and playing wolf. My parent took me
to a psycologist, For this disturbing behaviour (aged 10) and for increasingly violent
temper tantrums. The shrink told me I needed to go to a special school, I went there
and within a year had calmed down (learned to keep quiet) and was re-integrated
into mainstrem education a year behind everyone else. I never had many friends,
exept spirits and animals.

I Often feel my animal sadden at the sight of the modern world, and I want to shift
and run away from it all. But I am also Human and I have a wife and a child on the
way.

I believe it is possible to manipulate the body into any form, I choose Wolf, It is my
aim to make it happen.
