I Am A Real Werewolf

Hey everyone. I've been thinking lately. There's a LOT of differing views, beliefs, and values in the wolven community. Then it brought something to mind- the big one most people think of when they hear "werewolf"- the shifting.
So I brought myself to think to ask this.
What are your beliefs on shifting? What techniques do you, as an individual use? Who taught you?

Mental shifting isn't real....and physical shifting isn't taught because of risk factors. I know it's not the answer people want to hear but it's the truth.

Real shifting typically occurs with a fight or flight reflex.

My current view on (physical) shifting is that it's nothing really "special", at least compared to what people would expect-you're still a human regardless even though genetically you might be a shifter, no special powers besides the shifting (no "magical" transformations, etc.), it doesn't (or at least from what I currently understand, it shouldn't) break any universal or biological laws, etc. My view on shifting is more naturalistic than mystical. But I don't view it as something grandiose or magical that only special people with special knowledge can do. I feel as long as you've got the skill, you can try and perform shifting.

Techniques I mainly use right now are meditation and other forms of shifting. I wouldn't say anyone taught me-I just looked online and searched for what I could use, then modified the techniques to suit me. I did get advice from others on what to do and what were good signs, though.

I'm not so sure it's actually so easy to put into words.. Shifting is a complex subject which cannot be understood easily. Research will not help you as there are many different opinions and viewpoints on the web. My suggestion to you, is to find your own pack. Then you will find the answers you seek and also a place where you will feel like you belong. I actually was part of a pack once. My name was Lone Raven, no joke. I am dead serious. That was the name given to me buy the elder, leader of our pack. And then I used that name for EP, and changed it a bit to use on SW, lol.

Find a pack, and everything should work out my young wolf friend. :)
Happy hunting!

@SW-User I would love to learn.

@wolfess Good, and if you have any questions for me I'll answer them as best I can as well.

@wolfess beware people who claim they are 'elders'.

Oh and one more thing. People, especially with the modern look on werewolves, will try to tell you that your mind is telling you/tricking you into being a werewolf. This is a modern term called clinical lycanthropy. What this means is that there is a disorder within the mind that causes one to believe they are a werewolf without any physical evidence being present. Don't fall for this. This is the most common trap that people will set up and try to steer you away from your path.

@wolfess I'll see what I can do. :) I'm glad to see your talent is not going to waste. And whatever pack you join, I wish you the best of luck. As a black wolf, I will always have your back. If you need anything at all or have any questions, I'll be there. I'll talk with my pack and see if I can arrange a discussion. I know one wolfess who would be willing to talk to you, I'll pm you her name in a second :)

@SW-User Thank you. I appreciate the support, as well as everything else🙂
SW-User
@wolfess There's no need to thank me. I'm very glad to see another pup such as yourself join our ranks. Like I said, I'm a black wolf, so if you need anything, I will be there. :) I hope you find what you're looking for.
I believe it's different per person... For example I haven't shifted yet but I've heard of "techniques" that can help me shift (like meditation or simply relaxing), but I believe the first shift happens when it happens. No triggers, no helps, no meditation unless you feel like it. Your body finds out how to shift (and mine feels like preparing and sometimes trying to shift completely out of nowhere) and after your first shift you will know how to shift voluntarily.

Though I have heard that involuntary shifts can be triggered by emotions like extreme anger or fear.

But anyways I don't believe in shifting techniques besides not stressing about it and just waiting patiently.

How do you shift? Or is it of the mind? Serious question!
wolfess · 26-30, F
@MartinTheFirst You can private message me and we can talk one on one if you wish. I will answer questions there.
MartinTheFirst · 22-25, M
@wolfess nah... people lie a lot
wolfess · 26-30, F
@SW-User As I said, private message.
@MartinTheFirst People can lie anywhere. People can also tell the truth anywhere.
MartinTheFirst · 22-25, M
that it's a fantasy. possibly a delusion. A good way to test if you're clinically insane is by looking back, have you ever been online on this site while being in a "wolf form" and can prove it? and if the answer is no, then that would prove that your mind is simply telling you that you have been a wolf
MartinTheFirst · 22-25, M
@wolfess You're the angry one, byeeee.
wolfess · 26-30, F
@MartinTheFirst I'm actually quite calm. Enjoying a coffee as I type. 🙂
SheAngel19 · 36-40, F
@MartinTheFirst that statement is both hilarious and illogical at the same time and that's coming from someone on a forum about werewolves lol.
