Hmm. I'm going to go into my 'witchy' circle and see if I can't find out more. My speciality is dream interpretations. To see it in real life has me stumped.
Funny that you'd see them as Samhain's approaching though. (Frogs were considered an associated animal with Hecate who's name, originating (possibly) from the Egyptian name Heka, was the same as the Egyption 'frog goddess'.)
You learn something new everyday. Such as the fact that the board game Trivial pursuit is connected with the Early Christians need to denigrate anythng which was seen as a rival to it. Or at least if this little passage I saw while googling Hecate is true.
Because her devotees practiced such magic wherever three paths joined, Hecate became known to the Romans as Trivia ( tri "three," and via "roads"). Later, when the Latin church fathers compared the magic of the goddess Trivia with the power of the Gospel, they found it to be inferior, and thus the pursuit of Hecate's knowledge became known as Trivial Pursuit, or inconsequential.
I'd thought that it was some wierd coincidence such as someone cleaning their pond every Saturday/Sunday that leaves frogs dead by Sunday. Question to think about.. do you walk that path on other days besides Sunday? Maybe there's a lot more frogs out there dead that are in the woods, under logs, etc. Once you wrote about the one with its head off.. that's not part of the coincidence.. unless a hungry dog came along. Eewwwww!
I walk along that path most days and these are the only dead frogs I've seen. There was a dead hedgehog further down a couple of months ago but think that diesd of natural causes. It could have been a dog, a cat, a fox, a rat or a hawk that got to it as I've seen all of those around or near here.
