Therianthropy isn't a religion. Like anything else, it can be turned into one (witness the Therian Temple) but most Weres absolutely deny that their therianthropy is a religion. The again, there is no way that an all-pervading lifestyle like therianthropy isn't going to at least color one's religious beliefs.

In my attempt to collect as much information as I can gather about the Were community, I have begun adding to the Religion and Weres section of the Therian Timeline. It includes my original study on conflicts between therianthropy and Christianity and now has some data from the old AHWW polls and a more recent canvass of the Were community. It also has a recorded session with the author of Creatures of the Night, Dr. Gregory Reece and myself.

Since Weres have always asked me about Shamanism, I have completed a section on Were Shamanism, and that is also on the site. It doesn't go so far as to detail how to be a shaman - I don't think that can be communicated by books or the Internet, but I have included some tips about how to get along in Dreamtime and a general discussion of shamanism - both Were and Mainstreamer. There is also a growing bibliography in the shamanism section.

In the future, I would like to record some Weres' ideas on the subject.
