I used to think I was the only one like this but apparently we are many. This may challenge the rest of your religous veiws but I believe that we were forsaken when God and lilith crafted the strings of fate. I have researched the history of werebeasts (a.k.a. lycanthropes) and have found many different types of shifts many of which are more associated with things like the berserkergangr, or berserker rage. Throughout history I have noted many stories of lycanthropy, for example the Book of Daniel describes King Nebuchadnezzar as suffering from depression that deteriorated over a seven-year period into a frank psychosis at which time he imagined himself a wolf. Among the first medical descriptions were those of Paulus Aegineta during the later days of the Roman Empire. In his description of the symptom complex, Aegineta made reference to Greek mythology in which Zeus turned King Lycaon of Arcadia into a raging wolf. I do hope that my notes have been helpful to someone.
