The Art of Shapeshifting Paperback – January 1, 2009

This book focuses on spiritually ‘shapeshifting’ in the sense of drawing in aspects of certain animals one wishes to bring into themselves in daily life, honor in a ritual, or so on. The book explores some of the ways in different ways from dreaming to dancing to other ways of moving or positioning the body. Especially focusing on the act of using stances and hand positions are heavily used throughout the book.If these things interest you, you might find the book really interesting. If not, then you might not get as much out of the book. For me, this was one of the drawbacks for the book for me as I just couldn’t connect that well or get into the system of practices presented. So rather the book became a framework for finding what did work for me personally.The formatting of the book is rather easy to follow, much like Animal Speak, in that it is designed to be almost like a workbook to start at the beginning and practice through the book. So anyone thinking of buying the book should be prepared to be practice and tryout what the book is showing to get the most out of it and see if it works for them are not.

This book was clean, no blemishes even pencil markks were not present, even though i am told those are acceptable!! I am so very happy!

Thanks

Scanned it as have my priority listing of all the books I ordered. Being by T. Andrews am sure it will be fantastic.

This book wasn't for me.

Perfect condition and quick shipping! Thanks! Still reading it. Good book!

As with anything, there are many ways to get there. This is a good approach if you are exploring Shapeshifting for the first time.

I have been a student of traditional Chinese martial arts and shamanism for over twenty years. This book is not well researched, (or even minimally researched)and the techniques are obviously not based on any authentic shamanic practices. I am under the impression the 'techniques' were created by the author, a hodgepodge of dance postures, simple martial arts postures, snippets of bits of legends, and so on. Numerous photographs of the author in a loincloth assuming dance and animal poses however, which didn't do much for me personally.Scanning the other books which the author has written should have clued me in...no one can possibly master the numerous fields he apparently claims expertise in.

Great thanks

I might be shifty, but I'm definitely no shapeshifter...

TED Andrews...rest in peace ....wrote at least one book that may be just ok . Its this one . His definition of shapeshifting here is "new world " in a shamanic sense, it may not be for everyone . For those that require a more organic sense of shape shifting , see elsewhere . It may well be still shape shifting that he was writing about , but I was looking for something different , but you don't know until you buy and you may actually think different .We have all our sets of realities that we abide by.Cheers , LucLuc

It's a good read. Puts it in perspective with modern times aswell. Beautiful.

Love it!
