RE-RELEASE: Catholic Werewolves

Ancient History Fangirl - A podcast by Jenny Williamson and Genn McMenemy - Thursdays

Help keep our podcast going by contributing to our Patreon! We’ve covered werewolves in the ancient world before—and their connection to the Berserker myth. But wait til you hear what happened to werewolf mythology when the Catholics got their hands on it. This episode is a wild ride, taking you from the ancient Greek and Roman werewolves to a Medieval monster tied to the mysteries of serial killing, mental illness, domestic abuse, and the paranoia of the Witch Trials. It turns out Catholic werewolves stalked a very dark, very violent landscape—and we are just itching to explore it. Join us. Sponsors and Advertising This episode was brought to you by Taskrabbit.
