Everything Under the Moon

What do frogs represent? I had a rather bizarre vision of frogs used in ritual work, and don't know what to make of it.

Frogs often rep spiritual transformation. The symbolism is their natural change from eggs in a sack into tadpoles & then into frogs that both swim in the water element & hop around on land, the earth element. Both earth & water elements have passive energy applications which supports the spiritual associations.

Toads have their own historic presence within the Craft for the toxins they secrete & there is a toad-bone ritual for obtaining a specific toad bone from a specific species (not just any toad) that is believed to augment psychic ability. Obviously the toad dies in the gruesome process.

I agree! My coven is very fond of frogs; they're our unofficial mascot. They are a powerful symbol of metamorphosis, transformation, and change.

Aren't they associated with Hekate and her possible origins as an Egyptian goddess?

Since you mention it I went looking & found a long write up on Hekate at angel fire website regarding Her liminal facets & copied this: All wild animals are sacred to Hekate & She sometimes appears three headed as dog, horse & bear or dog, snake & lion. But the creatures of darkness & of the earth are most sacred to Her; ravens, owls, crows, snakes & dragons. The frog, significantly a creature that can cross between two elements, is also sacred to Hekate and the Egyptian goddess Heqit.

I hadn't associated frogs with metamorphosis before this. Apparently my high school biology class was either too long ago, or did not sufficiently impress me.

Death into truth... is the transformative work of frogs.
