Ina truth our civilization of today bears the impress of this horse mythoo- gy, for what is our Friday but Freya' s day? Freya, or Nanabride. by which lat ter name always love to think of her, was golden haired and blue eyed and welcomed to her home all pure maidens and faithful wives. Her very name IS the German verb to woo and her last temple in Magdeburg was destroyed by the order of Charlemagne. She loved to watch dancing in the moonbeams the fairies. for whom she saved her daintest flowers and sweetest honey and so beau tiful was she that the prettiest of the northern plants were called Freya's hair or Freyas eye dew, while the butterfly sported under the name of Freya's hen She also wore the coveted and priceless Brisinga necklace for the possession Of which the gods fought so long and fierce ly and which is one of the most inexpli- cable mysteries of Norsk mythology. Tn seeking for her truant husband under the towering myrtle trees of the sunny south the tears which she shed are the source of the gold now found in the earth and when Christianity superseded her cult the toast which was drunk to her health was transferred to that of the Virgin Mary. To her German votaries she IS not dead, but still lives upon the Brocken where she holds her tryst every Wal purgis night.

 There is most remarkable thread of similarity running through the mythol- ogy of Scandinavia and that of the Budd- hist religion. Nor does this similtude confine itself to the two cults for stu dents of folklore find the same affinity in the sagas and marchens of the two peoples. It is a fact that the story of Jack and Jill is first found in legends of Iceland with it's earliest variant in the fables of India. But we now come to a most strange feature of Scandinavia which while not confined exclusively to that tland found its greatest prevalence and widest acknowledgment in the realm of the vikings for the werewolves, or loup- -garous, and the berserkirs were characteristic of Scandinavia.
 The werewolf was a person who pos sessed the power of transforming himself into a wolf or who at certain seasons of the year was unavoidably so matamorsed into such a beast They were often spoken of as skin changers" and while they were supposed by some to actually take on the shape of wolf this trans formation generally implied that the per son retained his human form and intelli- gence. yet was endowed with lupne fe- rocity, instincts and strength. Indeed many of the unfortunate creatures could sense premopitions of the advance of the state and voluntarily withdrew from their homes and isolated themselves from their families as one of the symptoms of the disease was to murder those that were nearest and dearest to the afflicted This lupine tendency was denomnated as lycanthropy and those affected were spoken of as lycanthropes.
 Werewolf means man wolf and the term loup-garou is a mere tautology Paulus Aeginta said of werewolves. They are those who go out in the night, initiating wolves in all things and finger ing about sepulchres until morning. You may recognize such persons by these marks-they are pale. their vision feeble. their eyes dry. tongue very dry and the flow of saliva stopped: but they are thirsty and they have. incurable ulcera- tions from frequent falls" The dominant Aryans in India in long past ages de- scrbed the rude indigines by an epithet signfying changing their shape at will while Herodotus, Pliny, Petronius Arbi- ter, Virgil and Augustine have ap- preached the subject. In the middle ages lycanthropy was regarded as a demon iacal possession. but in 1903 it was for the first time viewed rationally, when in the case of Jean Grenier the judge de- clared 1t to be an insane delusion, not a crime. Grener was but B years of age and lived at Bordeaux, vet it was proven thai he had killed and eaten several chill
