Upset! Need a Spread suggestion for my Shaman deck

Lasombra

I recently bought a Animal spirits knowledge cards (paintings by Susan Seddon Boulet). I was immediatly drawn to it. The deck, is so beautiful and pulls me in. My problem is, its nothing like my Dragon tarot deck. I am completly unable to figure out how to read it. It gives the animal spirits discription on the back of the card.

However, what spead to use eludes me. :(

I could really use some suggestions. It is a Shaman type deck.
