El observador serio no puede dudar de que las danzas y la evolución del culto se activaron y conformaron en el contacto con lo divino. Su presencia los llenó y exaltó hasta el punto de que ya no expresan la actitud del hombre, sino la esencia y el hacer del propio dios.

Robert Eggers on the Pagan Roots and Satanic Twist Behind Werwulf:
"I mean, if we really want to get into it, we can talk about the Berserkirs [an ancient Norse term for especially ferocious warriors who wore bearskins] and the Úlfhéðnar [another Old Norse word for “wolf-coats”] that you see in The Northman that come from Viking culture. And there’s all kinds of wolf warriors from before that. But in a Christian setting, people who turn into werewolves become evil, and the early associations in the Christian mythology become satanic."
