We might as well be the first to use the new route, now that there is no longer any Earth in the way, nor any Earthlings to complain.

Fænomenet hamskifte har også dette lovløse aspekt. Det er en bogstavelig forvandling til ulv. Hamskifte skal ikke forveksles med varulve, som vi kender fra middelalderens overtro eller fra nutidens popkultur.

2015, Niels Hein, Ulv!: Dyret - myten - fremtiden, Gyldendal A/S, →ISBN:

The phenomenon of shape-shifting also has this lawless aspect. It is a literal transformation into wolf. Shape-shifting should not be confused for werewolves, which we know from Medieval superstition or from present-day pop culture.

Jeg har nævnt, at sejd anvendes i forbindelse med kampene i Gǫngu-Hrólfs saga. Heller ikke synskhed endsige evnen til hamskifte er forbeholdt guder.

I have mentioned that seiðr [a kind of magic] is used in connection to the fight scenes in the saga of Gǫngu-Hrólf. Nor is psychicness, let alone the ability of shape-shifting preserved for the gods.
