Meaning of Spider
« on: November 03, 2016, 08:30:32 am »
So, spiders have seem to have taken over my life. Yes, yes, I'm Australian therefore spiders should usually be like a daily encounter (Not in my state it ain't!), and yes, as the weather gets warmer spiders tend to go in houses where its nice and cool. I'm also at that stage in spiritual development where I'm looking out for signs - and SO many spiders popping up can't just go unnoticed.
I've been encountering spiders almost on a day to day basis sometimes multiple times a day (which is RIDICULOUS, even for an Australian). They just pop up in my life, whether its in my house, at a friend's house, on TV, social media, in a conversation... and they're not little either.
Currently, a full hand-sized furry monstrosity has claimed half the house for itself because there's no way I'm going near that.

Just out of curiosity. Does the Spider have a meaning? Any good animal spirits 101 websites?

Naboo: This is black magic. This is hardcore. Don\'t mess with the occult.
Vince Noir: I thought it was good for you.
Naboo: What?
Vince Noir: Well, you know, good for your digestive system.
Naboo: That\'s Yakult!

There is the story of princess Arachne, in Greek myth. She was a famous weaver and spun many fantastic creations. She challanged the goddess of arts, Athena, to a weaving contest. When Arachne won the contest, the goddess Athena was so angry that she killed Arachne. Overcome by remorse by what she'd done, Athena brought princess Archne back to life. When Arachne lived again she was a spider who weaved webs.

My brother-from-another-mother has a special thing with spiders. For him, they always represented the fact that there are hidden threads binding the universe together. They often serve to remind him that everything we do affects others, and that seemingly disparate events may in fact be connected.

For me, they represent "GET A BROOM KILL IT KILL IT" most of the time.

I like Charlotte's Web too.

There is the story of Spider Grandmother in native american legends. She's a loving goddess who created the planets, moons and orbits spinning around. She gave wisdom of fire to humans and she lives in a tower called "Spider Rock" found in Arizona. Dream catchers were made so that Her divine magic can protect people in their sleep.
There is a massive geoglyph landmark spider on the Nazca plain, as among other creatures.

I'm sorry, I read "you are my father" and now I just feel like I have to call you Luke and ask you to join the Dark Side.

In Islam, the spider is considered a friend and protected Muhammad from soldiers.
