Her temples contained an area known as “The Kennel” where sick and injured people were brought for healing. Murals in these temples show how Bau healed a sick person: 의해 transforming them into either a dog 또는 a wolf.
Wolf-shaped protection statues devoted to Bau 곰 the motto, “Don’t stop to think, bite!”
And thats just what she did. Bite. If a Sumerian patient could not be healed any other way, Bau 또는 one of her devotees, might transform into a 늑대 and do just that: bite. Then she would send the patient 집 with one of her statues and a foggy memory of the event. The healed person would find the statue and hide it in the walls of their house, not knowing for sure what it meant. Until the 다음 full moon it all became clear – Bau had saved his life 의해 turning him into a werewolf.
Bau herself went on to have seven daughters named after the days of the week and also two sons. They all inherited her lycanthropy gene. 늑대인간 descended from Bau still find healing and protection from her figurines and talismans.
