A pleasure to behold! Hunt has imbued this deck with a tangible energy. Her images of humans discovering the power of the animal world evoke emotions ranging the spectrum from loneliness to joy. The expressiveness of the illustrations makes this one of the most powerful decks commercially available, well suited for use in spellcraft. Conway and Knight pool their considerable talents in the companion book, giving their lucid and vivid interpretations of the cards' literal and figurative meanings. The cards and book work together as a synergistic whole, a testament to the prowess of the authors and the illustrator. The Shapeshifter Tarot is analogous to the traditional tarot, save for the addition of three cards, "The Double," "The Journey," and "The Dreamer," which reflect the Celtic shamanic tradition on which this deck is based, a tradition that will teach you to access and direct animal energies to fulfill your own needs and at the same time bridge the chasm between humankind and nature. --Brian Patterson

The Shapeshifter Tarot will merge you with the natures of star and serpent, fire and oak, to transform your perceptions of dreams, reality, and all the worlds in between. Listen to the voices of the cards and grow wiser in spirit as you use them for divination, spellworking, meditation, and pathworking.

This boxed set includes the 81-card Shapeshifter Tarot deck designed by popular Pagan authors D. J. Conway and Sirona Knight and beautifully illustrated by Lisa Hunt. The accompanying 264-page book gives detailed explanations on how to use the cards, including their full esoteric meanings and magickal and mythological roots. You'll also find five unique spreads designed specifically for this deck, including the standing stones spread and finding animal helpers spread.

In this uniquely shamanic deck, many cards of the Major Arcana are renamed to clarify the meaning: the Fool becomes Initiation, the Magician is now the Sorcerer, and the Hermit is the Seer. The Shapeshifter Tarot also includes three additional Major Arcana cards: The Double, The Journey, and The Dreamer, to give even more depth to your readings and magickal workings.

The Shapeshifter Tarot kit is your bridge between the worlds. Merge with your animal spirit as you explore the raw elemental power of the natural world.
