The Shapeshifter

Leaving your comfort zone and pushing into unknown territories may be the medicine you need to move forward.

Keywords: perspective, challenge, medicine

This card relates to the dualistic nature of everyday situations and the notion of “as above so below.” There is a medicine within the sting of the sharpest point, similar to the stimulation from nettles or a bee sting, and this card asks what needs to change so you can move forward. This may not refer to taking action but instead contemplating different perspectives and understanding a situation from many angles. When you become open to seeing things differently you may find that you also need to challenge old beliefs and patterns. Challenging yourself may bring you some pain, but it will help you become unstuck, and you’ll gain confidence as you move forward. This card can also relate to drawing you out of where you feel most comfortable and pushing you into unknown territory, wherein lies your medicine.

Heart Practice: Which fearful situations or ideas would benefit if you could break a deeply ingrained belief, pattern or spell that holds you back in this life? When you have figured out what keeps you stuck, plan how you can push the boundaries and free yourself.
