Now what on earth is more joyful than a tree frog?
All teeny and green, delightfully loud, springy, and free. If you’re lucky enough to get peed on by a tree frog, you’re probably in the right place.
The Tree Frog Pee card is an activating principal. It’s the potentiator. A little touch of juice that helps everything around it rise to the occasion. Residing in the lushest landscapes, these amphibious lil’ jumpers are a sign of a healthy ecosystem, and their chorus of duck-quack-croaks can break through the darkest night.
And amphibious is right because theirs is a medicine that can swing all kinda ways. Tree frog pee gets an awful lotta use from The Wee Witch Katarina and that whole gang for their nefarious Toad Brews, and yet, the activating spirit ain’t that simple.
Because even within a toxic medicine there’s usually some element which, if used properly, contains the power to help you leap to freedom.
So now let’s use the The Tree Frog Pee to activate another level in your story. Draw one more card from anywhere in the deck, add it to any card in your reading, then turn it over and see what new level of meaning emerges when the two elements combine. Does this open up a deeper understanding? Or stir up trouble for what you thought you knew? If it’s doing it’s job right, it just might give you the nudge you need to rise to your own occasion.
