 (Credit: Werewolf Pack Leader - Miranda Meeks, Magic: The Gathering, Wizards of the Coast) Hello all! I think it's time we revived this series and what better season to do it!

The earliest surviving mention of a Werewolf or Werewolf type being can be found in the Epic of Gilgamesh , which is from roughly 2100 BC. The Werewolf that we mostly know of however, comes from ancient Greece . In 425 BC, Herodotus wrote a tribe of nomadic men called the Neuri who were said to take the form of a wolf for several days at a time throughout the year.

Hello all! Spooky season is finally apon us so what better way to start it than with a Moon and a solar eclipse! ( OCTOBER 2ND 19:49PM) This New Moon is in Libra ♎ and is the perfect time to find balance, particularly within relationships but it would be a good idea to look at as many aspects of your life as you can.
