Hi @nancybriti, I found your post quite fascinating, especially as transmutation is not that present in the stories of my country. We have plenty of whitches but they deal mainly in potions and spells, rather than changing shape. But then again, centuries ago when they burned witches at stake nobody asked for proof of any extra power... having a black cat was already proof of a pact with Satan.

Indigenous people strongly believe in such practices and may even worship and respect people who believe they have the capacity to transform themselves. What witches in cities do is invoke spirits that are incorporated into their bodies. There is no physical change, but the voice changes. More than a transformation, it is a possession. It's always good to read your comments, @ladyrebecca. Greetings; ;)
