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
all i need to do is find sum people who r screwed up in the head and know ways to prepare wolf brains :)

werewolves are amazing……all those ways to become a werewolf actually work…..im a pure blood shadow wolf! having sex with a werewolf is probally the hardest way to become one because you might not survive the night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just saying
not every person can live through the changes when they become a werewolf……
In the movie “Wolf” (which I love)Michelle Phifers charater becomes a werewolf after having sex with Jack Niclesons charater (and he plays a very convincing werewolf too). Think that would be the more enjoyable way to become a werewolf lol
Look I have been doing research…. The only supposed way to become a werewolf that actually makes any sort of sense is through VMTLV If anyone knows about this and could provide me more information please reply or if you know how to get your hands on this virus tell me. I would be more then willing to pay for it after I have recieved it and went through my first transformation.

sleeping under full moon on friday night dont work, to be honest dont really remember!

Also if you have a facebook then ill add you on there. i believe that were wolfs are real my mother said that when she was a little girl she would always read witch craft books and werewolfs book and study on how to become one…. but she said that she used a spell and she did alot of research adn then one night she took me outside when there was a full moon… just me and her. she said when she was in here teen age’s she said that she had turned into a werewolf at the middle of the night and stuff would be moved around the next morning so then seh started talking about blah blah blah and then she said some day if i had alot spiritual as she did, then i could have been one of the wolfs like she said but she said werewolfs are not big as they look there only about 4-7 feel tall it depends on how large u r but i dont now if she is jsut fooling me or what .. soo i dont now to:moonlight from:crystalwolf: also if u want to i would like to talk to u about this
None of these will actually make you a werewolf. These were thought up by superstitious people hundreds of years ago. They didn’t have the medical and scientific knowledge we have today so they thought up beliefs like these to explain things they didn’t understand.
