A toad came jumping out of the grass as I was mowing today

Toad

The toad is a powerful symbol of transformation, as it grows from tadpole to toad.  It has associations with fertility, magic, fairies, and Witchcraft.

The toad represented the uterus in ancient Greece, Rome, and Scandinavia. Because of this symbolism, the toad came to be the symbol for a midwife, thus leading to associations with Witchcraft.

In Basque country toads were said to be favored familiars, with witches going so far as to “baptize” their toads in cemeteries, and adorn them with velvet ribbons and bells.

Toads secrete a thick white poison through their skin.  This “toad's milk” or bufotenine is sometimes hallucinogenic, and is said to be an ingredient in some ancient flying ointments.

In Shropshire it was said that the spirit of a well would manifest as three toads, the largest of which was to always be addressed as the “Dark Lord” – a manifestation of the God of the Witches.

Witches' marks are sometimes referred to as a “toad's foot”, and a birthmark shaped like a toad is a sure sign of witch power.

Toadstools are so named due to the toad's associations with fairyland, and with their hallucinogenic properties.

Doreen Valiente was a fan of the natterjack toad, and recommended them as pets and excellent familars.  The natterjack toad has associations with the “yellow ringed” toad which produced the legendary Toad Bone amulet.

Thanks! I am awakening to the desire to harness my powers and the toad was waiting for me today. He was sitting there looking at the door and asking if I would open it. Once he realized I was standing behind him he took refuge in the shadows and watched me walk through. I instantly thought of the visionary toad, my recent dreams and desires to bring back the magic in my life. This portal is magical! Cheers divine friend.  Smiley

Toad Symbolism: Toad Totem Spirit Animal Meaning
October 17, 2017


The Spiritual Meaning Of Toads -

Updated 2022.03.15 and just as an FYI, this page contains affiliate links, this site earns from qualifying purchases made through these sponsored links.

Have you been dreaming of toads? Want to know what it means when a toad appears in your dreams? You can cross paths with a toad and it may have a metaphysical meaning.

In this post, I discuss the spiritual meaning of toads & toad symbolism - meaning of a toad animal totem.

Wondering what the symbolism is for seeing a Toad? Looking to explore the deeper meaning of amphibians in your life?

Studying wetlands is my life's hobby, contemplating the symbolism of the common Toad (sp: Bufo bufo), is something I've delighted in doing on more than one occasion.

Familiar creatures are some of the best teachers on earth because they have amazing skills at adaptation, being able to cross and thrive in nearly any ecosystem.

If Toad has hopped into your life today, whether on a dream or your path, below are nine different interpretations you can use to look at it.

9 spiritual meanings of seeing a toad





#1 a message to tread lightly
You're at a meeting ground, a crossroads in your life with a decision facing how you'll operate best from this place forward, the Toad is telling you to tread lightly making your decisions right now.

You have time to pause and wait. Go slowly, go carefully. Hop gently right now.

#2 working undercover to achieve a goal
Toads are camouflage beings, which could point to your need at this time to go camouflage in what you're doing at this time. Be silent about the progression toward your goals.

#3 observe your environment
Toads have nearly 360-degree vision.

So when you see a Toad, it is time for you to watch everything.

Wait, watch, and observe what the bigger picture around you is, look at the broader concept before making any choices.

#4 never underestimate the reach of your words
Though your body may be small, Toad's reminder is that while you may have a small body, you have a very loud voice that can pitch a long throw.

Both be careful how you use it, and make sure to use it. Toad's message is: don't underestimate the power of your words. But speak loudly.






#5 it's a period of transformation
Toads are a symbol of change due to their ability to transform their shape and adapt to their environment. As all animals do when they transform, they normally mask or take cover while it happens.

Anything you do right now in camouflage and hiding is going to contribute to the greatness of the transformation you're undergoing right now.

#6 you are being protected
In business, a toad is a message that your voice is being heard, and you are being noticed. You are simultaneously being protected from harm that comes from overexposure.

Want to make a big splash while also staying safe from potential predators? Toad symbolizes you can right now.

#7 stay hidden to accomplish dreams
Toad medicine helps you hide and be hidden if you need to achieve any essential tasks coming to you right now. 

#8 you may phase shift as you grow
For those who feel the Toad may be part of their animal spirit medicine for life, Cie Simurro, known as Thunderbird Starwoman, writes that:

Folks with this totem or those experiencing a "toad" phase of life, are apt to experience their lives in distinct stages.

One period of life may be so vastly different from another that it doesn't even seem like you are the same person. - Totems: Toad Part 1

Toad is a potent medicine related to transformation, the ability to live between the worlds, and the importance of camouflaging for your life path right now.

Those with Toad symbolism, are thought to behave in their life journey in a very amphibian way. Part of their life is lived one way, and part of their life is lived another.

Much like the Toad who lives aquatically in one phase of life and another phase is lived on land, toads meaning could signify you have phase-shifted in your life.

#9 you absorb what's in your environment


The late Ted Andrews combines Toads in his principal work, Animal-Speak: The Spiritual & Magical Powers of Creatures Great & Small, with all reptile totems.
He states that those with a reptile totem, including Toad, have a high sensitivity to their environment in which they are exposed.

So if Toad is part of your symbolism, it's important to watch where you hang out and notice how places affect your mood, your health, and your physical state.

Due to Toad's reaction when they get upset, it's also essential to pay attention to your words as you move through Toad Medicine. If you feel that Toad has hopped into your life for a reason today, you're probably right.

Pay attention to how and what you've absorbed in your environment, stay camouflaged, and know you're in a crossroads period.






so to recap, a toad hopping into your life may mean
It’s a time to tread more lightly in your daily life

Consider going camouflage or working under cover to achieve a goal

Do a quick 360 of your environment before making any moves

Your vocalizations, speech and writings may have more reach than you think possible

You may be going through a period of transformation

You are being protected from overexposure to the elements

It’s possible to stay hidden to meet your destination

Your personality may shift as you grow, you’re adaptable

You may be more empathetic or absorbing of your environment than you think

to interpret more animal signs like this one
In The Membership Program, documents are available on how to interpret the animal signs you get and determine meaning from them. Join us/login to access the animal symbolism documents here.

Overall, Toads signify someone at a position in their life where they're meeting a crossroads, a place of transition in their work, in their life, or their relationships with others.

Toads are so adaptable and can easily merge into their environments, symbolizing, as can you. To learn more about animal symbolism and signs, check out the articles below.

Yea through our association I’ve learned that there is symbolism in the little creatures that come into our life especially when they appear to dramatically come into our environment, which other people ‘right off’ as meaningless. Thus the need of the toads symbolism to camouflage our transformations while others may misrepresent our changes.

This I found on the car yesterday. Yes Eric I would say we have experienced some of that magic here, even lately with disappearing posts.

Thanks! I am awakening to the desire to harness my powers and the toad was waiting for me today. He was sitting there looking at the door and asking if I would open it. Once he realized I was standing behind him he took refuge in the shadows and watched me walk through.
