Recognizing Signs/Omens: Frog

When certain plants, animals, natural elements show up in your life - the universe and/or your ancestors are trying to get your attention.

When frog shows up in your life in a big way, pay attention as the universe could be trying to get a message through to you. Frog’s first message is one of health and healing. Frog is known in biology as a bio-indicator, meaning that when frogs are present the environment is healthy, clean and functioning well. Because of the nature of its body and skin – it would be among the first to perish or abandon a place of toxicity due to its sensitivity. In a metaphorical sense frog may be coming to warn you that negativity in your environment is becoming toxic for you, too. How can you remove yourself, cut toxic ties or let go of negativity or toxic patterns that are harming you? It’s time to make some necessary changes.

Another possible meaning of frog is related to prosperity. Many cultures in Asia and South America see frog as a symbol of luck and prosperity. Hinduism associates frog’s songs with chanting. Spiritual workers can ask frog to bring on the prosperity and abundance of rain during drought seasons and it’s seen as a sacred link to the planet’s orbit. If you are seeing frog then it may be a symbol that good fortune is getting ready to rain down upon you.

Finally, frog may be carrying a message of fertility. Frog lays a prolific amount of eggs in order to ensure its survival through its life cycle. That production of eggs makes it a link to fertility in many cultures. You may call in frog or keep frog talismans with you if you are working on fertility and wanting a child. If you see frog it’s a sign that the energy and circumstances you need to have a fertile pregnancy and childbirth are all aligning. You will have the vitality and life force you need to bring life into this world.
