Well, the only books I have in front of me are Brad Steiger's (flawed) The Werewolf Book and Brian J Frost's The Essential Guide to Werewolf Literature. There are no legands I have read that talk about it. But as to proof, it really has no place in folklore except as to separating fakelore (beliefs made up by the researcher) from genuinely held beliefs.ĭnl wrote:I think that came from the move Draculer. This goes along with oldtime European views of meek females, so I guess that might be the ultimate source of such beliefs. And, yes, when the longer quotes are included, it does generally mention that lubins are usually thought of as female. Most other books I've examined seem to go back to Summers as the source, and Summers references a 19th-century book written in French that has an entire chapter written about lupins/lubins. I'm getting my information about lubins from books like "The Werewolf" by Montague Summers. There are always individuals within a culture who hold beliefs that buck the trends, and there are always different beliefs that can be found if you focus on a different village, region, nation or continent. In folklore, there is no such thing as proof, there are only general trends that are seen in the authentic beliefs of people belonging to this culture or that culture.
