Volkolak / Warewolf Illustration
Jean Michal reports a pretty straightforward recipe on how become a werewolf -- just drink some water from wolf's footprint!
English:
“A person can also turn into a werewolf if they drink water from a wolf's footprint. But Werewolves can transform not only into wolves, but also into cows, dogs, black cats, geese, chickens, etc. After the death of a Werewolf, wolves gather at his grave and celebrate the wolf's funeral.”
― Hanuš Máchal, "Nakres Slovanského Bájesloví", 1891
Czech:
“Ve Vlkodlaka promćni se takó ćlovćk, napije-li se vody z vlći stopy. Ale nejen ve vlka mohou se Vlkodlaci proraćńovati, nybrź i v konć, krdvu, psa, ćernou koćku, huso, slepici a pod. Po smrti Vlkodlakove schdzeji se na hrobć jeho vlci a slavi vlći pohreb”
