Basically, I am writing a series of YA novels about the 'reincarnation' of the old werewolf gods and goddesses. I have the name of the 'religion' per se but it is also a sort of lore/legend to the whole concept. This is going to be covered in a book called "The Children of Amaris", with Amaris basically going to be the holy mother of them.
I just need names and/or concepts for the rest of the gods and goddesses without them sounding too stereotypical of werewolf stories.
Thank you!
Hi there! If you want to think about different werewolf legends for inspiration, there are famous wolves like fenrir from norse mythology who is just a savage wolf, not really a man, but there are also more tender wolves that are returned to human form when a loved one calls out their name or throws their clothes at them. Some werewolves are tragic (think remus lupin) and kill their loved ones because they can't help it. If you're looking for inspiration from real werewolf legends that are a little more unorthodox, there's the wehr-wolf a legend of the limousin, and some others that i haven't read here https://www.werewolves.com/review-the-best-werewolf-short-stories-1800-1849/
Hope this gave you some concepts and ideas to work with!
Hey, thanks for the reply! I have actually been looking into some traditional werewolf legends and have settled on mainly being inspired by Irish folklore. (More can be found on this pin: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/344525440242290348/). Despite this there will still be quite a bit of conflict and theme wise will even touch on a sense of racism.
I'm still thinking of what some of the reincarnates could represent, however.
