Frogs!

Frog: symbol of Joy, Luck, TransformationThe frog is a totem of transformation. There are many frog stories, but the fairy tale about the frog who is transformed into his original self - a prince - is a good illustration of the frog as a totem of transformation, and its resulting joy. Frog totems can also provide very powerful protection for children and have been known to give good dreams. Frogs transform from tadpoles into their adult form and this symbolizes the awakening of ones creativity. If you are about to experience a change in your current stage of life, you can learn from the frog.Lucky FrogFrogs are also a symbol of luck. For many centuries, the Frog has been a symbol of abundance, partly due to the very large number of eggs it lays at one time. It has been worn as an amulet. In Rome, the frog was a mascot believed to bring good luck to the home. In Ireland the frog is considered a close relative of the leprechaun and capable of playing tricks on you when least expected. The three-legged toad from China is the traditional pet of the immortal Liu Hai, who is also the Chinese god of wealth. This toad is a symbol for riches, and is often pictured with a gold coin in its mouth.

BigFoot....We love BigFoot!

Sasquatch by Micha F. Lindemans North American version of the Abominable Snowman, the Yeti, in the Himalayas. In Canada it is called 'Sasquatch', while in the United States they popularly refer to it as Bigfoot. The word Sasquatch closely resembles and is derived from several native names for the creature used by tribes in the coastal area of the Pacific north west. The creature is supposed to be at least 2,1 m (6,9 ft) tall, but adults can be as tall as 3,5 m (11,5 ft). Its footprints measure somewhere between 40-55 cm (16-20 in). It has long arms, an ape-like face with a flat nose, and thick hairy fur. Sasquatch lives in the caves and hidden valleys of Canada and North America. It was first seen (by white men) in 1811 and since then there have been hundreds of reports on sightings and encounters. There are several photos and films of the creature, besides casts taken from its footprints, but many of these turned out to be forgeries. There are numerous people who claim they have either seen the creature itself or its tracks. Expeditions set out to search for Bigfoot have never found it, nor is there scientific evidence for its existence.
