I bet many of you are wondering how someone is turned into a werewolf. We all know the most popular way which involves being bitten by another werewolf. But if you take a look at folklore, old customs and traditions throughout the world you’ll learn that there are several ways someone was believed to turn into a werewolf. A warning though, many of these ideas came from the middle ages, a time when people believed in most anything, so some things on this list may be a bit ridiculous.
How To Become A Werewolf
- Being bitten by another werewolf
- Being scratched or clawed by another werewolf
- Selling your soul to the devil
- Wearing an enchanted belt made of wolf skin/fur, known as a wolf-belt
- Applying a magic salve to one’s body
- Black magic and witchcraft
- Eating lycanthropous flowers (white or yellow flowers said to be in the Balkans)
- Inhaling certain potions
- Simply wearing an animal’s pelt
- Placing a real wolf pelt on one’s body and then drinking beer mixed with blood
- Drinking water from a wolf’s paw print
- Eating the brains of a wolf
- Spells and rituals
- Having sex with a werewolf
- Eating an unborn fetus
- Wearing a belt made of the skin of a executed criminal
- Being cursed by a witch or troll
- Being born on Christmas Eve
- Being blasphemous and getting cursed for your sins
- Genetics (having a werewolf in your family)
- Drinking from a lycanthropous stream
- Drinking downstream from wolves
- Sleeping on a Friday night under the full moon with the moon shining directly on your face
- Being the seventh son
- Being a child conceived under a new moon
- Not going to confession for 10 years
- Being gruesomely murdered on a full moon
- Being born on a full moon Friday
- Tasting human flesh
- Being chosen by the Native American wolf spirit
Like I said, folks in the middle ages believed in anything. Instead of explaining things with science, they explained it with religion and superstition. So for those that wish to become a werewolf, don’t expect any of these methods to actually work.

great list, but i’m still kinda bugged that the “bitten/scratched by a werewolf” method is the most commonly accepted even though curt siodmak made it up.
He didn’t make it up. Bites were believed to turn people into werewolves long before him. It’s possible that idea came from rabies, animals with rabies bite people and people with rabies are also known to lash out and bite.
OMG having sex with a werewolf JESUS
