Animal Guidance Series: Frog Medicine

This morning while watering my plants, a small frog jumped up on the railing in front of me. He was a beautiful bright green, and about the size of my thumbnail. Right away I thought about the cleansing properties of water and the ancient stories about how frogs sing a song to call on the rain. If you are tired, overloaded, rushed, frustrated, weak, anxious, itchy, weakened or nervous. It is time to take deep cleansing breaths, a long relaxing bath or shower and call in frog medicine to replenish your mind, body and spirit. Overall frog symbolizes rebirth, renewal, cleansing, healing, good fortune, prosperity and luck. They are linked to transformation as they change from tadpoles into a frog. Tadpoles are also associated with fertility and change with a shape similar to sperm. Frogs are also associated with love. The Greek goddess Venus and Roman Aphrodite, were portrayed with frogs representing harmony between lovers. Despite the many positive associations of the frog across cultures, there are also a few examples of a being a negative omen. In ancient Egypt, and in the Bible, frogs were depicted as a plague, killing people's homes, food and belongings. The Egyptian goddess Heket was often drawn with a frog head, and was associated with the later stages of pregnancy. Women sometimes wore amulets of her likeness, to bring an easier childbirth.
