Excerpt from Animal-Speak: The Spiritual & Magical Powers of Creatures Great & Small
by Ted Andrews:

Frog Keynote: Transformation through Water and Sound

• The frog is a totem of metamorphosis.  A symbol of coming into one's own creative power.
• Frog medicine can bring rains for every purpose - to cleanse, to heal,
  to help things grow, to flood, to stir.
• This connection to water should also serve as a remainder to those with this totem. 
  Are you becoming mired in the mud of your day-to-day life?  
  Are you needing to dive into some fresh creative water? 
  Are you feeling waterlogged, becoming bogged down or drowning in emotions?
  

Frogs are tuned keenly to sound.  This sensitivity to sound should be developed
by frog people.  They can learn to use their voice to stir emotions and to call
for the rains or change the climatic conditions of their own lives.

 

Excerpt from Symbols: Guiding Lights Along the Journey of Life  by Kathleen R. Prata:

In every moment of the day, the universe is speaking to us, not in a language familiar to our own ears, but in the language of the soul.  Where else could the universe speak so beautifully to us than through our natural surroundings and creatures with whom we share this planet?

Frog:

• could indicate a time for cleansing, perhaps with tears or
  by clearing your calendar and spending some time alone
• sign of stillness, patience, focus
• Madame Blavatsky says the frog symbolized creation, resurrection.
• K. Todeschi suggests it could also indicate difficulty speaking
  (a frog in your throat), or that there are hurdles to leap over.
