Welcome to Season 12 of Every Day Tarot! This season, we’re exploring the sacred bond between the tarot and our animal allies.

In this episode, we talk about frogs—amphibious creatures of duality, sensitivity and strength, stillness and song. Frogs are potent guide through life’s transitions. They are associated with transformation, adaptability, and emotional healing. Frog energy invites us to move through discomfort, trust our evolution, and honor the slow magic of change.

Let’s dig into their lore, their tarot appearances, and the lessons they bring when they show up in your life (or your deck!)

Frog Symbolism in Myth & Magic

Frogs are powerful symbols of transformation, emotional renewal, adaptability, and the cyclical nature of life. Their journey from egg to tadpole to frog mirrors our own phases of becoming—reminding us that growth often happens in stages, not all at once. 

In folklore and spiritual practices, frogs are rain-callers. Their croaking often precedes rainstorms, tying them to cleansing and renewal.

They represent:

• Transformation & metamorphosis

• Emotional healing

• Creative fertility

• Adaptability

• Balance

Frogs are often associated with rain and ritual cleansing. Their croaking is known to precede rainstorms, tying them to renewal and the sacred power of voice. In witchcraft and magical traditions, frogs are seen as both protectors and omens of luck, often linked with spell-work, transformation, and vibrational sensitivity.

Tarot Cards Featuring Frog Energy:

While frogs don’t appear in many traditional tarot decks, their essence is deeply aligned with the Wheel of Fortune.

This card reflects the frog’s journey: from fluid beginnings to uncertain leaps forward. Life spins us through cycles: ups and downs, growth and rest. Frog energy helps us navigate those transitions with grace and resilience.

Reflective prompts on this card:

• Where are you being asked to leap, even if the ground feels uncertain?

• What emotional clutter or energetic baggage is ready to be cleared?

• What creative project is ready to evolve?
