The Wolf Forest

Those of the forests, like those of God, are also unpredictable paths, in whose labyrinthine paths, whether or not they lead to their center, one can easily abandon oneself to the seduction of their mystery and also be shaken by the lurid stories that occur in of them, some of which not only touch, but also penetrate, with astonishing depth, into the dangerous swamps of the supernatural, being the origin of a multitude of tales, stories and legends, which, after the passage of time, they still circulate, with the force of a substantial miserere, throughout the length and breadth of the surrounding villages.

Forests like this one, where, millennia after the old Celtic priests, the druids, collected, with their golden sickles, the prodigal mistletoe for their powerful ceremonies, there was, in times as modern as the 19th century, the only case truthful case of lycanthropy - studied, documented, tried and condemned - in Spain: that of Romasanta. Romasanta, a peddler by profession, who during the nights of the full moon was transfigured - not physically, as the enigmatic Castaneda claims that Mexican witches do, but mentally - coming to commit, in his altered mental state, the most gruesome murders.
