Page of Cups (Encantado — Dolphin Shapeshifters)
Story
Shapeshifters are supernatural animal spirits possessing the ability to transform into humans. In Brazilian legend, Encantados, or "Enchanted Ones," included Falange de Botos (phalanx of dolphin) that swim in the Amazon River and are thought to inhabit a utopian underworld. Encantados were powerful creatures that could wreak havoc in and out of the water. At night, they would sometimes swim to the surface, change into handsome men and seduce young women. They could also be protective, healing spirits, if properly respected. The montage of forms represents potential deceit. The turbulent water indicates both risks and inspiration. It's up to you to know when it's safe to explore them.
Divinatory meaning
A romantic situation may surface, but be aware of the risks involved. Be open to gifts but make sure there are no strings attached.
