I am back. I was thinking about this the other day. Witches, in the olden days, turning men into frogs as a form of a curse. Why frogs? Why an amphibian? Why not an invertebrate?
It does not make sense to me.
Why not a vole, that can easily be eaten by larger mammal or bird of prey? Why not a reptile, bird or fish? Why a fucking amphibian? I am becoming vexed by this thought.
Why not a fucking earthworm or useless earwig? That, to me, would be far worse a fate. I am sure that you can find some "frog kisser", licker, but what human, in their right mind, is going to kiss an earwig? That almost ensures that the spell will not be broken. In fact, chances are greater that the cursed earwig will be stepped upon and crushed.
Do you see where I am going with this? It is as if, the spell castor, actually WANTS the spell to be broken. It would be a thing of impermanence. I just do not buy it.
Then again, they could have always turned them into frogs in France. That way, when the spell was broken, they would be missing a couple of legs. I am not sure there was a long life span for crippled former frogs back in old French days.
Have an awesome weekend pondering that thought! Ciao!
