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

Customer Reviews

Very honest and insightful
I LOVE this deck. Number one, it is in a comfortable size for a woman's hands.

Sometimes it's very hard to call upon the wisdom of a tarot deck, especially when you are in a fragile point in your life. Sometimes it's easier to just "not know".

The Shapeshifter tarot has guided me over many hurdles with it's brutally honest, in your face, wisdom. How can the cards know just what I am avoiding facing and gently steer me toward resolution?

These cards are insightful and honest and gentle all at the same time. The images are a catalyst for introspection. Very well done indeed!

Beautiful but Different
I bought these cards because the images really called to me. As I was hoping for a more traditional deck, it was a little disappointing to find them titled so non-traditionally as this is my first deck of tarot. However, I like that the companion book gives equivilents to traditional tarot and I also like the use of the Elements. I agree that some of the titles are confusing but for a beginner, who needs to use the book a lot anyway, it's not that much of a problem. Overall I think they are a beautiful and helpful set.

Passable, ...
I bought this deck as something to work with before I made my own tarot cards. It works well enough for its purpose, but the meanings and such are way too watered down. For instance, tghey substitute the Death card with Rebirth and the Devil card with Choice. Since when was Choice such a bad thing as to be related to a generally negative card? Also, the format (warrior instead of Knight, God/Goddess for King/Queen, Seeker for Page) is confusing. The method of using titles instead of 8 of cup or whatever is also tough when trying to translate over into more traditional decks. Don't even look at the book, other than for the translations from this deck to the traditional one. It is sugary sweet and does not serve a purpose when trying to get the true meaning of a reading. However, the deck itself works as well as any, and has beautiful artwork. If you're more of a Rider-Waite fan, don't bother.
