year ii, week 46

Welcome to week 46 of my weekend hobby. This week, I’m taking a quick look at one of the Caribbean myths about humans with the ability to transform into animals, usually wolves.

Its name comes from the French expression loup–garou (meaning werewolf), however, in Haiti they aren’t described as the conventional werewolfs from movies but rather voodoo masters who can turn into beast on will.

See you in a few days with another mythical creature from somewhere else in the world. We’re nearing the end of this cycle of mythical creatures, and I’m already thinking about doing something completely different. We’ll see how it goes.

I hope you have a good weekend and be careful with the Lougawou.
