In many cultures the frog is a symbol of magic and healing. It can teach you to jump quickly from one level of consciousness to another.
The frog can also help you find the courage to accept new ideas and push you to make changes, teaching you to flow with existence.
The frog boasts an ancient mythology. As an amphibian related to water and earth, it is often associated with the magic of both elements, as well as the traditions of fairies and elves. Many shamanic cultures, especially in North and South America, link the frog to rain and weather control. Her voice is said to call the rains. The connection to water also links it to lunar energies and the goddesses associated with the moon.
Emotions are often associated with water. Individuals with a frog totem are highly sensitive to the emotional states of others and seem to know instinctively how to act, what to say, and how to be sincerely sympathetic. Frog medicine can bring rain for any purpose, to purify, to heal, to help things mature, to flood, to stimulate.
Frog-shaped amulets were widespread in ancient Egypt.
They were believed to protect against loss of virility and infertility. Because the Egyptians saw countless frogs emerging from the water, they associated them with the renewal of life and fertility.
In Roman times an amulet depicting a frog was thought to protect the house and its occupants from bad luck.
In the Middle Ages, to protect against excesses, it was customary to carry the desiccated body of a frog in a silk bag.
There is a Chinese talisman called moon frog that ensures longevity, opulence and is believed to ward off or scare away evil spirits. It is associated with the moon because like the moon it changes its appearance in its various phases of life.
In Japan the frog represents the ultimate good luck charm, as they say the frog leaps over misfortune and bad luck and reaches the point of serenity and prosperity. In Italy, Greece and Turkey it is customary to wear a frog-shaped amulet because it brings health, prosperity and material wealth.
