Spirit Animal 1.25-inch Frog on Leaf Dolomite

A frog on a leaf, carved in dolomite. A frog breathes and drinks through its skin, which makes it the first animal to feel a change in the water it sits in. That sensitivity is the whole of its symbolism: cleansing, renewal, and the crossing between one element and another.

Keep it near water you use for practice, on the edge of the bath, by the sink, beside a bowl you leave out under the moon. It suits work where something is being washed off rather than added on.

How to Use It

Small carvings work best when they are somewhere you actually pass. On a desk, in a coat pocket, on the windowsill above the sink. Pick it up when you want the reminder and put it down when you do not. If you keep an altar, it can hold the animal's corner of it, and it travels well in a pouch if you are working away from home.

Good to Know

Carved by hand from dolomite, roughly 1.25 inches. Every piece is worked from natural stone, so color, veining and the exact set of the features shift from one to the next and yours will not be identical to the photo. Dolomite is a soft stone. Keep it off the edge of a hard surface and wipe it with a dry cloth rather than washing it.

Pair It With

The rest of the shelf is carved from the same stone, so they sit together without anything clashing: Seal Spirit Animal and Dragonfly Spirit Animal. Give it a proper seat with the Goddess Sphere Stand or set it beside a lit chime candle in the white ceramic holder. More carved pieces in crystal carvings.
