"This is a historical and anthropological study of the myth of the werewolf aimed at reflecting on the metamorphoses of evil and understanding the long evolution of a mythical structure. Legends and folklore allow us to explore the brutal bestiality of a figure loaded with sexuality, eroticism, and desire. From ancient times to the present day, the tragic narrative universe of a strange and dangerous wild world is unfolded, with elements of tenderness, that has contributed to defining the profile of civilization as its opposite. The myth was contaminated with religious fanaticism when werewolves were persecuted and burned during the times of the witch hunts".

From 11.2, Per Faxneld's "Exchanging Apples" examines Leonora Carrington's painting for the women’s liberation movement Mujeres Conciencia, and how its esoteric value "fits with a new pro-mythical turn in the second-wave feminism of the early 1970s." bit.ly/46IZgXa

Justine Bakker's review article "White Esotericisms? New Directions in the Study of Race and Esotericism" discusses the emergence of race as an analytical category in esotericism studies, and the feasibility of calling certain esoteric currents "white." bit.ly/4deXJtM
