what is a shape shifter?

Answer 1

among some native American tribes a shape shifter is either a man pretending to be an animal or an animal pretending to be a man.

in nature, when a bald eagle is born, it feathers have the colors of a golden eagle and eventually changes into a bald eagle. Even When you look at the DNA of the young bald eagle, their is virtually no difference than that of the golden eagle. "If it looks like a golden eagle, then it is" Nature holds many secrets man has yet to discover.

The next step is for a man to shape shift into a bald eagle. He dresses with feathers, psychologically prepares himself, puts himself into a trance and can better relate to the bald eagle.

The internal process of shape shifting will let you better understand you target shape (stone, tree, planet, Greek god, etc).

If you ascribe to a scientific view, we as humans, were evolved from apes (apes being only 1 chromosome from ours). The need to adapt to a situation or environment would give the body a message to change or die. Perhaps the smaller apes had to learn how to hide, flee, use fighting instruments to defeat their stronger cousins. What I'm saying is that human kind over millions of years has shape shifted.

If you believe in the invisible, anything is possible.

If you believe (in your brain and in your heart) that you can turn into an eagle, truly nothing is impossible!

A shape-shifter is a contemporary term for someone who can 'change into something else.' In Western Mythology the most common shape-shifter is the werewolf.

Interestingly enough, all known cultures have some kind of shape-shifter. Where no wolves exist the shape-shifter will usually take the form of the best predatory creature known to that area.

There are legends of were-lions, were-tigers, were-crocodiles, were-leopards, were-jaguars, were-hyenas and even an oriental mythical creature that can become a snake. The Navajo Native Americans of the Southwest have their 'skin-walker,' a witch that can change into a coyote. Mexicans along the Rio Grande Valley of Texas believe in the 'lechuza,' a witch that can change into an owl. The Choctaws of Northern Texas and Oklahoma have their 'witch-owl.'

The only time I've heard of an 'alien (as in from outer-space)' shape-shifter is in the X-files.

Hope this was of some help.

Depending on who you are, you may have different ideals about what one is. There are many types of shifters. 1. Shamans- they will take the form or the persona of an animal in order to do spiritual tasks. 2. You have were-creatures/vampirism- either cursed or self inflicted; usually taking the form of an animal. 3. Glamour-illusions to make ones' self appear differently to another. These are just a few of the types. But now a days, people will take and "channel" primal energies in order to "shift". One instance is to become more "feline"- Heighten senses, hearing, sight, smell, ect... But that is the most I can tell you. Get a book on Totem Animals, Native American Traditons, or Do a basic web search.

*****A shape-shifter is NOT a lost soul*****
Shape shifters are believed to be creatures that live in another dimension. Sometimes when they are morphing they will appear in our world. Have you ever listened to Coast to Coast AM? It's a GREAT radio show about everything from conspiracy theories to ghosts to aliens to global warming. Check it out, see if you can find more info on what you're looking for...

Answer 6

In the books I have read they are portrayed as a group of people living amongst themselves normally and very peaceful people. They allegedly have the ability, at different points during the moon's phases to shift shapes...normally from human to animal and back. Even when they change shapes, they do not cause harm or wreak havoc on the rest of the world. For them, it's very spiritual. I read an excellent book once about those who could shift to wolves and back. Very interesting theory and great reading. Can't recall the name of the book right now.

Answer 7

Most would answer a lycanthrope is a shape shifter. However, vampires can shape shift. So can a witch according to Navajo legends.

Can you be a little more specific?

Answer 8

A shape-shifter is a term for one who can polymorth themselves. This can be doppelgangers (mythological beasts that resemble humans with stretched skin in their unmorphed state) Bogart's (creatures who like dark places, and morth into your greatest fear to scare you away) or even dragons who would take upon a human or elf form and walk amongst the people for studies, excitement, or just because they were bored.

Answer 9

As far as I've read it is a animal or being that can change its shape into many different things, I believe they are real, and I also believe them to be associated with demons. You don't want to see these things. I really believe they are lost souls, that would be of a demonic nature. If you do, you better start talking to Christ to save your soul.

Answer 10

A shapeshifter is a being that can shift into another form. Usually it's a humanlike being that can turn into animal at will. Vampires and werewolves and fairies can be considered shapeshifters. Aliens too, if in like some sci-fi stories, they can look human. But most shapeshifters I'm familiar with are human or humanoid beings.
