This adorable amphibian, aka the painted reed frog, is native to sub-Saharan Africa. Marbled reed frogs are highly adaptable. They live in swamps and other wetlands, as well as grasslands, savanna, human habitations and even urban environments, unlike many frog species who are dependent on a specific habitat. In folklore and spirituality, frogs represent good luck, friendship, romantic love and courtship, music and singing, celebration, prosperity, natural health, balance and harmony. In earth-based religions and nature magic, frogs are associated with yin or feminine energy and moon magic. They signify organic medicine, natural healing, and mind-body-spirit holistic health. The frog's skin was once reputed to have medicinal properties and was used by shamans for that purpose. The skin of a frog is highly sensitive. Partly because of this, frogs are also indicators of environmental balance. Lack of frogs in an area can be a sign of an unhealthy environment. In some cultures, such as the Chinese, frogs are considered fortunate for money and wealth. People who have the Frog as a totem or spirit animal tend to be cheerful, optimistic, intuitive, romantic and social. They generally dislike aggression and prefer to win through charm and diplomacy. Frog people are good communicators and may have musical or other artistic abilities.
