Shapeshifiting
         Shapeshifting is done though higher conciousness, or better yet, without conciouness.  At very young ages, we learn to imagine.  As we get older, we are taught the differeince between "dreams" and "reality" and lose that unconcious ability to imagine and see with our imaginations.  One can only shapeshift through the mind and spirit, leaving the mundane behind.  In meditation, one can assume any form and travel anywhere.  In this day and age with all our worries and fears, meditation is not the easiest of states to accomplish.  (If you need help getting to this state, please check out the Meditation section of my site.)  This are many tales in folklore about shapeshifting, however it is all based on the individuals state of mine, disciplane, and sincerity. 

           Through shape shifting it is possiable to take great journeys, see the worlds, and find better understanding.  But it can also cause one to become paranoid.

           When enetering into other realms and forms, be aware you cannot do so in human form.  At one time this may have been possiable, but the magickal knowlegde has since been lost.  We must first learn to leave our current form for a bit and enter into that of another.  These forms are seen as multi-dimesonal beings.
