Members of the The Therian Temple’s Ordo vir Bestia have just published a book version of the 19th-century were-wolf text, “The Book of Were-Wolves”, in both paperback and hardcover editions.
Written in 1865 by a British Theologian and Hymn-composer (he composed the well-known hymn “Onward Christian Soldiers”), this text delves into the history of beliefs and traditions surrounding human-animal transformations and related ideas.
Far from being a “factual document”, “The Book of Were-wolves” is a look into the mystical and magical esoteric ideas and lore about man’s “Inner Beast” that were prevalent in the world of the late 1800s.
One can clearly see the basis for the myriad Hollywood Film-versions of the “Wolf-Man” in the details of folkloric poems and traditions.
The research compiled in Rev. Baring-Gould’s text paint a unique picture of a mystical 19th-century world where monsters are very real and believed-in.
Luckily, the helpful hymn-composer turned literary Good Samaritan is there to guide you through this archaic and frightening world of wolf-men, vampires, cannibals and murderers.
“The Book of Were-Wolves” is a must-read for anyone interested in human-animal transformations, folklore, or even just monster movies.
Past Editions of this text have also been published under the title “The Book of the Were-Wolf”.

The Therian Bible is apparently listed on an “Otherkin and Therianthrope Book List”. However, the majority of the information presented there is incorrect!
Corrections:
#1: The Therian Bible is NOT only 24 pages long (the real book is 47 pages of small-faced text) and we in the Ordo vir Bestia have no idea what type of “bootleg” copy was passed off to this person as our Book, but they were obviously ripped off!
#2: Their statement “The Therian Temple sells their Therian Bible only to people who have taken an oath and applied for membership.” is INCORRECT. The Therian Bible is readily Available to anyone who wishes to purchase it from our site at theriantemple.com . Applying for membership (with Oath included) is a wholly separate interaction.
#3: Their statement “Many therians responded negatively when they heard of the temple,” is MISLEADING. A small (10-12) group of extremely opinionated herd “therians” (ages 15-20 and one board Admin aged 50) at one online message board can only be defined as “many therians” if one has no knowledge of or contact with the thousands of Therians (or some who call themselves “Weres”) who exist worldwide, and have either no relation to, or interest in unsolicited internet opinion-giving.
#4:Isaac Bonewits is NOT an Authority on the Occult, Cults, Religion, or any other subject. Many groups who have never harmed anyone have been attacked by the embittered self-proclaimed “Professional Occultist”Isaac Bonewits, and other extremists who follow his lead. One example, see: http://www.skepticfiles.org/mys5/tos_bon.htm Another (more opinionated) example, see: Is Isaac Bonewits “Reality-Challenged?”
#5:”Lupa” who supposedly reviewed our Book for all the young net-therians, does not even self-identify as a Therian! In her own words, from her own site: “I use the term pagan for simplicity’s sake, though more accurately I’m a totemist, an animist and a pantheist.” While we Therians understand and respect those paths and beliefs, we all know that none of them are the same as being a Therianthrope yourself, and we also know that it is VERY difficult for non-Therians to relate to & understand Therian Magic.
Oh, If only more people could read longer than……
