Search on Wikipedia for it. There was a lot of information on how to become a werewolf, some of which I wasn't even aware of.

i learned a little more about the moon today. It controlls some animal & people's emotions & personalities. That explains werewolves...and why i'm always mad on Full Moon nights. Do you find this valuable?

Could explain why the werewolf is often associated with a full moon.
I tend to go a little wild on full moon night. And my facial hair grows a little more quicker. Kidding.

Witch craft to turn into a werewolf or a vampire?

If for a werewolf, it is 1 of the ways. Other "voluntary" ways is to wear an enchanted belt of wolf skin.

Other methods to change (though involuntary) are: To be the seventh son in a family. A lot of cultures believed this; to drink water from the paw print of the creature that you wished to change to; Russians believed that being born on the 24th of December was enough. The interesting thing is that the werewolf gene being a contagion is in fact a fictional myth.

With vampires I am not sure. Could be that magic can transform one into a vampire. Though what I know more is that to be one, the victim has to be bitten by another.

Becoming a werewolf
Historical legends describe a wide variety of methods for becoming a werewolf, one of the simplest being the removal of clothing and putting on a belt made of wolfskin, probably as a substitute for the assumption of an entire animal skin (which also is frequently described).[13] In other cases, the body is rubbed with a magic salve.[13] To drink water out of the footprint of the animal in question or to drink from certain enchanted streams were also considered effectual modes of accomplishing metamorphosis.[14] Olaus Magnus says that the Livonian werewolves were initiated by draining a cup of specially prepared beer and repeating a set formula. Ralston in his Songs of the Russian People gives the form of incantation still familiar in Russia. According to Russian lore, a child born on December 24 shall be a werewolf. Folklore and literature also depict that a werewolf can be spawned from two werewolf parents.
