You have a great secret. Something powerful and uncontrollable lives within you. 

Beings that transform into animals appear in cave paintings, and there are accounts and illustrations in all religions and cultures that attest to their existence. 

Humans have powers they no longer know and are therefore portrayed as sinister. A werewolf embodies pure wildness, as if one did not have to worry about the laws of civilization, as if one could live outdoors, barefoot, direct and lustful. The werewolf symbolizes the clash between instinct and civilization. The old moon awakens instincts such as uninhibited liveliness and passion beyond moral or ethical boundaries.
