Abstract

The imagery of lycanthropy is full of cultural-religious complexity. Using the micro-historical and cross-historical approach, common and differentiating traits were investigated through Ceará and Portuguese narratives about werewolves. This made it possible to explore practices, interactions, agencies, spaces and places that make up Portuguese and Ceará oral narratives. The analyzes led us to establish a cultural connection through a shamanic substrate in these oral narratives.
