Shapeshifting is about far more than simply taking on the image of another thing. It's about using the unique and specialized talents of that animal, plant, or object. Nothing makes this technique and method more clear than the Shapeshifter Tarot.

About this title

From the Author

note from the illustrator Lisa Hunt
The unique aspect of Shapeshifter Tarot is that all 81 images were created exclusively for this deck. The illustrator worked closely with the authors to create a series of images that exemplify "oneness" and act as a vehicle of greater understanding. This body of work reflects the artist's deep love of mythology, shapeshifting images and the environment
