The Werecats of Glasgow
What comes to one’s mind if one touches upon the subject of wereanimlas, which are intertwined with the theme of theiranthropy. A very riveting word by the way, because it derives from two ancient Greek words: “their” and "trophein". "Ther" is the Greek word for the animal, albeit a ferocious one and "trophein" is a verb, which signifies to change. So, this compound of words literally means to change in an animal. But actually, it is much more than that, because this story is about a hybrid, a species half human half cat, which has been subject to some literature especially in the literature of yore, which most nowadays, of course, will enjoy to neglect and dismiss as obsolete.
Well, I am of the opinion, that the ancient accounts and stories of such beings are not at all futile, because maybe the ones, who deride these things and like to put them in the realm of fairy tales, ought to think again, because what I am about to share with my audience, the readers of this story, is as true as any other story with some sort of credibility.
But it is clear, that the modern man, is a person of reason and logic and will always, or at least in most cases deny, that such things as a werecat can even exist because his logic tells him so. But what kind of logic, if I durst ask denies a werecat. Aren’t we always amazed when we gaze up at the sky at night, which sometimes is teeming with stars and probably multiple worlds, we can’t even describe, let alone understand? So, why should it not be the same as our reality? Is it not as well a complex construction of many multiple aspects, which we cannot grasp with our limited mind.
So, let me quote the famous Greek Philosopher, who said: “I know, that I know nothing.” And this implies, that every world view is fallible and we should rethink our reality, because it may be just a fragment of the greater reality, just a piece of an endless mosaic, which we cannot see fully.
Hence, I must admit, that I once too thought like a man of reason and logic and came to the bitter realization, that I did not know anything, albeit only a little. Now you will know why. I don’t exactly recall the day, that I passed this old house, which actually never was of any importance to me, until I discovered that It was a place, a sanctuary for a species, which has been living amongst us mere mortal boastful humans, who think, that we know it all anyway, for centuries or perhaps millennia –– who can really tell?
On that day though, I really noticed that house, which had a very interesting architecture stemming from the late Romanic era, a man was more superstitious than now and visibly more open to the realms of spiritual perception. Maybe we too could learn a lot from the monks and priests of the early middle ages, who really devoutly were following the path of spirit and true light, but not to go off on a tangent, I will now carry on with my story, so that my point can come across as an argument, which maybe could dismantle this materialistic brainwashed attitude of most men and women of science and the masses, who savor to indulge into virtual worlds of greed, bodily needs, and sports.
