The Myths and Legends of Frogs
The humble frog is often seen as a creature of metamorphosis and mystical tales. Across cultures, they are symbols of transformation, fertility, and prosperity. Did you know that in ancient Egypt, the frog-headed goddess Heqet was considered a symbol of life and fertility?
In Japanese culture, the frog is associated with a safe return home. The word for frog in Japanese is "kaeru," which sounds similar to the verb for returning. As such, travelers often carry frog amulets to guide their safe journey.
