FROG

There’s hardly more to say about frogs.

But I’m going to anyway.

This image here is about the dual nature of frog symbolism. In a positive light, frogs are our capacity to reach our full potential, to grow and transform, and in Asia a symbol for monetary wealth and prosperity. But frogs are the witch’s familiar, a gruesome, ugly thing. Yes, kissing a frog may lead to a prince, but more often we end up with warts on our lips.

There is a type of bullfrog that eats mice and can sever the fingers from your hands.

And let’s not forget how poisonous the colourful little frogs in the Amazon are.
