Grab the Toe of Frog, you COMMONERS! Just don't eat it... and for the love of all that is good, PEOPLE, STOP LICKIN THEM TOADS!!
This week we finally deep dive into this long awaited topic - THE TOADS, THE FROGS... WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN!?!? The Stinas make some mind-blowing discoveries that finally "Make it all make sense" when deconstructing all of the frog/toad scenes in the movie and mentions in the books!
What does Jimmy's spirit have to do with the price of frogs? And what do Fertility, Resurrection, and Egyptian Goddesses have to do with it all? A LOT, actually! Watch Justina and Kristina's brains literally explode when they discover just how "It's All Connected!"
We'll also delve into some science, because if ya didn't know, Frogs and Toads are actually quite different! However, they are one in the same that they do come with some myths that we are happy to dispel for you today! Tune in for all of the pop culture, magick, myth, and lore!
Happy Spooky Season!
