Shapeshifting Witches: From Witch to Hare and Back Again

Shapeshifting is an ancient ability that appears in cultures around the world across a vast period of time. It appears in an array of 'types' of shapeshifting. Some creatures can simply shift their form due to a natural ability. Gods often change their form (hello, Zeus), but they can also change the form of others. Demonic activity, sorcery, and being cursed might also lead to a person shifting their form.

Since this is such a vast and multifaceted topic, we'll focus on those creatures able to change their own shape at will, and as ever, I'll stick to the British Isles. Let's look at shapeshifting fairies and supernatural creatures in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
