The berserkers would take mushrooms and get into just a frenzy with their shaman on the ship as it was getting ready with its very low bottom. It could go into streams. And five, six, seven hours before they go in, they start the chanting about two hours before they take the mushrooms. So they peek when they hit and they're howling and snarling. And that's where the legends of werewolves come through. They would beg the spirit of the wolf to enter them.

The Canaanites would have these sacrificial rituals to their god, Baal, in order to try to gain personal prosperity.
