The werewolf curse is a popular concept in folklore and legends. It is believed that certain individuals have the ability to transform into a wolf or a hybrid creature during full moons. This phenomenon has been depicted in various cultures and works of literature and has become a common theme in today's popular culture. The **main idea** behind the werewolf curse is that it is passed down through generations or can be inflicted upon someone through a variety of means, such as being bitten by a werewolf or through a curse. Once someone is cursed, they will go through a transformation where their human form is replaced by that of a wolf or a werewolf. The transformation is typically accompanied by physical changes, such as growing fur, developing fangs and claws, and experiencing increased strength and senses.

Her 1958 story The Planet Savers introduced the planet of Darkover, which became the setting of a popular series by Bradley and other authors. The Darkover milieu may be considered as either fantasy with science fiction overtones or as science fiction with fantasy overtones, as Darkover is a lost earth colony where psi powers developed to an unusual degree. Bradley wrote many Darkover novels by herself, but in her later years collaborated with other authors for publication; her literary collaborators have continued the series since her death.

The transformation is typically accompanied by physical changes, such as growing fur, developing fangs and claws, and experiencing increased strength and senses. The affected individual loses control over their actions and becomes a dangerous predator, often preying on humans or other animals. Full moons are often associated with the werewolf curse.

Coleção As Brumas de Avalon [4 volumes] A Senhora da Magia, A Grande Rainha, O Gamo-Rei e O Prisioneiro da Árvore são os quatro volumes que compõem As Brumas de Avalon - a grande obra de Marion Zimmer Bradley -, que reconta a lenda do rei Artur através da perspectiva de suas heroínas. Guinevere se casou com Artur por determinação do pai, mas era apaixonada por Lancelote. Ela não conseguiu dar um filho e herdeiro para o marido, o que gera sérias conseqüências políticas para o reino de Camelot. Sua dedicação ao cristianismo acaba colocando Artur, e com ele toda a Bretanha, sob a influência dos padres cristãos, apesar de ser juramento de respeitar a velha religião de Avalon. Além da mãe de Artur, Igraine e de Viviane, a Senhora do Lago que é a Grande Sacerdotisa de Avalon, uma outra mulher é fundamental na Morgana, a irmã de Artur. Ela é vibrante, ardente em seus amores e em suas fidelidades, e polariza a história com Guinevere, constituindo-se em a sua grande rival. Sendo uma sacerdotisa de Avalon, ela tem a Visão, o que a transforma em uma mulher atormentada. Trata-se, acima de tudo, da história do conflito entre o cristianismo, representado por Guinevere, e da velha religião de Avalon, representada por Morgana. Ao acompanhar a evolução da história de Guinevere e de Morgana, assim como dos numerosos personagens que as cercam, acompanhamos também o destino das terras que mais tarde seriam conhecidas como Grã-Bretanha. As Brumas de Avalon evoca uma Bretanha que é ao mesmo tempo real e lendária - desde as suas desesperadas guerras pela sobrevivência contra a invasão saxônica até as tragédias que acompanham Artur até a sua morte e o fim da influência mítica por ele representada. Igraine, Viviane, Guinevere e Morgana revelam através da história de suas vidas e sentimentos a lenda do rei Artur, como se ela fosse nova e original.

About the author

Marion Zimmer Bradley

Marion Eleanor Zimmer Bradley was an American author of fantasy novels such as The Mists of Avalon and the Darkover series, often with a feminist outlook.

Bradley's first published novel-length work was Falcons of Narabedla, first published in the May 1957 issue of Other Worlds. When she was a child, Bradley stated that she enjoyed reading adventure fantasy authors such as Henry Kuttner, Edmond Hamilton, and Leigh Brackett, especially when they wrote about "the glint of strange suns on worlds that never were and never would be." Her first novel and much of her subsequent work show their influence strongly.

Early in her career, writing as Morgan Ives, Miriam Gardner, John Dexter, and Lee Chapman, Marion Zimmer Bradley produced several works outside the speculative fiction genre, including some gay and lesbian pulp fiction novels. For example, I Am a Lesbian was published in 1962. Though relatively tame by today's standards, they were considered pornographic when published, and for a long time she refused to disclose the titles she wrote under these pseudonyms.

Her 1958 story The Planet Savers introduced the planet of Darkover, which became the setting of a popular series by Bradley and other authors. The Darkover milieu may be considered as either fantasy with science fiction overtones or as science fiction with fantasy overtones, as Darkover is a lost earth colony where psi powers developed to an unusual degree. Bradley wrote many Darkover novels by herself, but in her later years collaborated with other authors for publication; her literary collaborators have continued the series since her death.

Bradley took an active role in science-fiction and fantasy fandom, promoting interaction with professional authors and publishers and making several important contributions to the subculture.

For many years, Bradley actively encouraged Darkover fan fiction and reprinted some of it in commercial Darkover anthologies, continuing to encourage submissions from unpublished authors, but this ended after a dispute with a fan over an unpublished Darkover novel of Bradley's that had similarities to some of the fan's stories. As a result, the novel remained unpublished, and Bradley demanded the cessation of all Darkover fan fiction.

Bradley was also the editor of the long-running Sword and Sorceress anthology series, which encouraged submissions of fantasy stories featuring original and non-traditional heroines from young and upcoming authors. Although she particularly encouraged young female authors, she was not averse to including male authors in her anthologies. Mercedes Lackey was just one of many authors who first appeared in the anthologies. She also maintained a large family of writers at her home in Berkeley. Ms Bradley was editing the final Sword and Sorceress manuscript up until the week of her death in September of 1999.

Probably her most famous single novel is The Mists of Avalon. A retelling of the Camelot legend from the point of view of Morgaine and Gwenhwyfar, it grew into a series of books; like the Darkover series, the later novels are written with or by other authors and have continued to appear after Bradley's death.

Her reputation has been posthumously marred by multiple accusations of child sexual abuse by her daughter Moira Greyland, and for allegedly assisting her second husband, convicted child abuser Walter Breen, in sexually abusing multiple unrelated children.

It is believed that during this specific phase of the lunar cycle, the curse is triggered and the transformation occurs. The curse can also be triggered by heightened emotions or exposure to certain stimuli, depending on the specific folklore or mythology surrounding the werewolf curse. While the **main idea** behind the werewolf curse remains consistent in most depictions, there are variations in different cultures. For example, some legends state that werewolves can only transform during the full moon, while others allow for transformation at any time. Additionally, different folklore offers various methods for breaking the curse, such as finding a hidden talisman, drinking a special potion, or being killed. The concept of the werewolf curse continues to captivate people's imaginations, being a popular subject in movies, books, and other media. It taps into our fascination with the supernatural, the idea of transformation, and the struggle between man and beast. While the werewolf curse may be fictional, it has become a part of our collective storytelling and continues to be passed down through generations..
