And before the tirades begin, there's nothing wrong with this sort of invention, and the fact that it sprang from your own mind makes the presence of a guide no less significance!

Someone who likes frogs and toads in some subconscious or conscious level may have a frog or toad as an animal guarding or guide. There is nothing wrong with that. My guess would be that more people don't have these as guides is because how do you follow a frog? You can follow a creature that can run or walk with you. But keeping track of a hopping frog would be very difficult. Same would go for some insects and other animals like turtles. Probably the ability to interact, subconscious feelings towards, and relationship to size (among other things) are factors that are considered before an animal spirit guardian or guides takes its form.

The reason more don't appear as faeries, dragons, unicorns, mermaids and other fantastical creatures might have something to do with human expectation and history. So these are probably also factors that any spirit guardian or guide carefully consider before choosing the form they will use when they appear to us.

That would be my theory and hypothesis anyway -

Frogs and toads are very common spirit guides however. One does not need to travel linearly, one can travel nonlinearly. One can also swim. A frog lives in two worlds, it is an amphibian. It has rain magic. One can learn to control the rain from frogs. Also, if a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his ass on the ground every time he hopped. All animals have their powers, even insects. They are more temporary though while a mammal or bird tends to be a guide for a longer period of time. Check out dragonflies. They are great teachers. And when you get into the praying mantises things can creep you out if you are not ready. I stay away from spiders however. Turtles are amazing teachers and are very very wise, especially about lucid dreaming. They can teach you how to unfold the potential of your dreaming. They almost dream their existence. They also live for a long long time and gather much wisdom. Some say that anything is possible with turtle magic. But they talk slow. You need to be patient when dealing with them. They talk slow because they are so old. I find that dragons are very common. My dragon told me that everyone has a dragon. They can turn invisible and also shapeshift into a human so that others don't recognize them. I have a painting of my dragon posted in my thread of my artwork there is a link in my signature I believe. Faeries and elves are very common but they are not here to guide us. In fact, they sometimes can be mischievous towards our presence and are not to be fully trusted but it is ok to interact with them if you are vigilant. Mermaids I have encountered sometimes, but not much, and I don't know if I trust them or not. They usually swim away. I have looked and looked and looked for a unicorn but never found one. It seems like they are extinct or extremely endangered.
