SALMON SALMON - Dependability & Renewal. A Provider.BEAVER - Industrious. esourceful. Creative. Determined.FROG - Transformation. Duality. Frogs occupy both land and water, travelling between the two worlds. They communicate with beings from both, and serve as mediators. I chose these animal symbols because the Salmon represents my Mum who is a provider for my sister and I and she is totally dependable always. The Beaver represents all of us in my family as we are hard workers and determined in all we do. We are also all very creative in different ways and very resourceful as a family. The Frog represents all of us in some ways as we all love the water as well as the land. But it represents me mostly because I am very close to animals; I can communicate with them as well as I do with human beings. I have always felt like I came from two worlds, that I could live as well under the water as on land and I feel as soon as I am in water that I have transformed.
