Occultly, it means the same as “were‐wolf”, the psychological faculty of certain sorcerers to ''appear ''as wolves.

This does not mean that Shepherds accused of sorcery, and seen as wolves, had indeed the power of changing themselves physically into such; but simply that they had the hypnotizing power of making people (or those they regarded as enemies), believe they saw a wolf when there was none in fact.
