Oh. Ok.

Yeah, crazies come out in my neighborhood,just not on a full moon. They come out on a new moon.

Human passion and insanity. I definetlely agree with you. I've been reading Georges Bataille, "a novelist, essayist, poet and philosopher" who wrote great deal on eroticism in the inner life of man, and its been filtering into what I have been thinking about the werewolf.

The moon is imbued with a sacred quality when it comes up in the myth of the werewolf. It causes a violent change, causing the person to become a creature with chaotic energy, a creature which goes to extremes that allow it in its drive for violation and release to transcend its mortality, to feel overcome, lost.

The moon outlasts us, yet can entrance us, it is a bright light in which one may get a glimpse for the desire to go beyond the limits of oneself, in awe of that which outlasts us. When I think about the moon, I recall a quote from one of my favorite movies, Kissed. In describing her necrophiliac desire, she states to her boyfriend: "It's like looking into the sun without going blind. I'm consumed."

In his introduction to Erotism: Death and Sensuality, Bataille says that on a fundamental level we are bound up in various processes in which beings maintain their discontinuous (separate) existence to the violation and dissolution of the discontinous being. In asexual reproduction, one cell divides into two, and sexual, two become one. Those basic processes may be fairly different from us in our subjective life, but these processes linking death to reproduction, the violation of ones individual self is the dominant element in the fascination of eroticism.

In the werewolf there is the spirit of transgression.

The thing is, from what I've read and heard about psychology and psychiatry, at the full moon people are more emotional, more sensitive. Not only women. So those who suffer from mental diseases are more unstable than usual. I do not suffer from anything except that I'm hypersensitive and I've noticed that at the full moon, I'm even more emotional than usual. It has something to do with the electromagnetic field, when the moon is full it does something to the tides, people and animals etc...

That's my opinion Am I right? Am I wrong?

Boy do I know what you mean! I had that this week.........Yikes!

Thankies...it was a heck of a week

One reason I can think of, and probably mentioned somewhere already, is that the full moon may influence werewolves more on a psychological level.  The full moon has become a icon or symbol for the wild soul being freed by moonlight or its presence.  In such case, sensing the full moon may stir the wolf in one a bit, but actually catching a glimpse of it may cause certain wolfy urges and desires, instincts and thoughts to trigger and suddenly become so overwhelming that you can't possibly ignore it.  Every time I look at the full moon i feel the beastly sensations try and take me.  This may just be a result in the modern idea of the wolves/werewolves and the full moon...but it could be more...which would be interesting

It's long been suspected that full moons may have psycological effects on human behavior. 
Does the full moons energy rest in it's gravitational pull?  The gravity affects the oceans but does it also effect us which are 80% water?

Yeah, it seems more logical for the full moon to manifest more physical problems in people than mental.  I'm not sure though, that just my opinion given the facts above.  *shrugs*

Mabe it's just gravity of the moon drawing on you WolfMontana.    LOL
