"Saints & Werewolves"
Whether cynocephalus or ultra lycanthropy--the Catholic and some Orthodox Saints have an esoteric connection here.
Of course, Saint Francis is the coolest--in almost every way. Mystic, ascetic, beggar, and friend of the werewolf, kinda. He gently offered sublime mercy to the Wolf of Gubbio; as a result--the carnivorous beast gelled with gorgeous dog-like calm. Read all about Saint Francis, the Wolf of Gubbio, & the Virgin Herself @ GREEN EUNUCH--my Blog Series.
Anyway, Marco Polo encountered many canine-headed hybrids in his travels, yet while not a Saint--he, more or less, gave us pasta. Too, the emerald-hued Saint Patrick wends wolfways. Though not recognized by the mysterious Catholic Church--Internet Lore suggests that most Saints have the ability to transform us into werewolves. Was Saint Christopher a member of the pack? Unrecognized, toothy, and sincerely loves to travel. Like Charley.
