Lycanthropy solutions

To conclude this article about lycanthropy, we have left the most important thing: how to solve the problem of lycanthropy in mythology?

LYCANTHROPY SOLUTIONS

To solve the problem in mythology, different methods must be applied depending on the spell or enchantment. Not all solutions to the problem leave the werewolf alive. According to some stories from Galician mythology , one of the solutions is to the lobishome while in the form of a wolf, for example, with a knife. This way of getting rid of lycanthropy also includes the option to apologize to the person who caused the curse. On the contrary, we have the death of the werewolf while in human form. For cases whose transformation is caused by a wolf skin being put on top, to get rid of the curse is for another person to burn the wolf skin.

A curious case is that of a boy who was chased by three werewolves in Jägerup (Denmark), although it is not a definitive solution, but it does serve to flee the attack of a werewolf . The boy went into a rye field, a place where werewolves had no more power over him. Another way to get away is to throw them a piece of clothing that will end up breaking into shreds.

The only way to end the curse and free the werewolf from his curse is by stabbing him 3 times in the forehead with a knife. Other people say that just three drops of blood drawn with a needle is enough. It is also said that when a person discovers that person has that curse and reprimands him for everything he has done, that person is released. According to Norse stories , the wrath of berserkr (werewolf) disappears when he is baptized, reducing the number of them with the advance of Christianity. Related to this, in the region of Schleswig-Holstein, it is said that saying the name under which he was baptized, regaining his original form. It is said in Greece that the werewolf transforms into a vampire after his death. The relationship between lycanthropy and vampirism reappears.

Change of residence

As a safeguard of the werewolf himself, the change of place of residence seems to be a custom in those affected by this curse. This is due to the growing mistrust it generates in the inhabitants of the villages after the death or disappearance of people in the vicinity.
