12 The Shapeshifter, looking out through the water

For you, I draw the Shapeshifter reversed. The image is that of a cat-girl, lying on a branch, reaching up to touch the center of a placid clear pool. As you reach up through the sparkling water to the surface of the pond, the water ripples away in concentric circles, letting you touch the real you, the you that is making the reflection that you currently inhabit as if it's the real world.

But then, they're both you, the one that exists in the fertile waters of fantasy and the one that exists in the fertile woods of reality. You are the shapeshifter, and your hand reaches between realities. If you're feeling trapped in the pool of your dreams, lift up your hand and go for a run, shake out your fur and prowl on the fences, hunt down something deliciously fun, and reconnect with the larger world. Your magic pool will always be there, it's inside you, after all. You can return and create new magics whenever you're ready.


ETA: thank you kindly!
