I place the crystal into my own pouch carefully; gifts of friendship and connection are treasured. Thank you!
The Shapeshifter Tarot does seem like a good choice for someone who is changing environments and needs to develop new skills. Let me see what I find for you.
For you, I draw Skill, a card that shows shifters peeking out of a stream and stream bank. On the bank kneels a bard, her arm raised to welcome a tiny songbird, her harp sitting on the stream bank beside her.
It's quite a contrast, between watchers who have barely let their voices rise above the murmur of the stream itself and the bard, trained to sing out over a crowd. Yet here they are together, the bard quietly inviting timid beings to come out of hiding.
This card is analogous to the 8 of Pentales in other decks, a card of apprenticeship, modesty, skill, and diligence. I believe it is signalling to you that you can find one or more teachers and mentors to help you adapt to your new world and learn the skills you need. The fact that you are aware you have stepped from one world to a new one is a strength, as is your willingness to learn new things.
I note that you left my bowl still full of water. I leave you to contemplate the card and take the water to one of the new rose bushes I planted this spring, pouring out the water along with your good wishes to nourish the plant as your gift and friendship nourishes me.
