This deck is destined to establish itself among the mystical system of the tarot oracle. regardless of teh extra cards, increasing the total cardstock to 81 oracle cards and the extra guarantee card. This number works quite well for tarot, although the six decks of 13 (or vica versa) is not always applicable when interpreting the symbols, the author and artists work well together to enhance this difficult task. Teh results feel incomplete, i did not see a bison or a jackalope anywhere so something feels missing. otherwise the animal kingdom should be proud. The courts go seeker, warrior, god, goddess, this adds a new dimension to identifying people with these cards, the astrological symbols stay the same, the gender does not, sometimes confusing, but no more than any other oracle, tarot or not. the major arcania stay fairly much the same, The lovers card and the moon card go well together, while the chariot lends itself to new dimensions. teh extra cards fit in with teh 81 scheme, and can be removed for all intents and purposes for a 78 card scheme. While this only feels like the template for a more innovative oracle system based on these spirit guides (as explained in teh Celtic Dragon tarot) not restricted to an established and at times overly demaniding diviniation tool. To conclude, the Celitic Dragon tarot makes a natural companion to this deck, the natural flow of energy from one deck to the other basicially enhances any kind of dual deck reading .

It sounds like fun and interesting to do a dual deck reading with both Shapeshifter and Celtic Dragon. When I come back, I'll look forward to doing something like this soon...

I just started working with this deck after receiving it in December. It's been amazing thus far, and I'm taking my time learning it, as it is unique. I bought my sister, sagitarian, the Celtic Dragon (per her request) as a "sister" deck, and she is liking it quite well, I think. Here's my own thread on SS : http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9894
