hello roi, i seems when you get insights, the spider appears, almost to confirm or validate, "yes", this is true.

when you ask us for 'clues', don't forget to ask the spider as well. they love to chat and will have an interesting way of telling you, by way of a story.

i was wondering if any of you have might have a clue or an insight to what this might mean. i was searching a bit about spider totems but i am still confused.
from animal speak, t. andrews

spider

keynote: creativity and the weaving of fate

the spider has myth and lore throughout the world. usually its symbolism has been very similar wherever it is used. in india, it was assoc. w/maya, the weaver of illusion. it has connections to the fates in greek mythology and the norns in scandinavian lore---women who would weave, measure and cut the treads of life. to native amer, spider is grandmother the link to the past and the future.

spider teaches you the maintain a balance --between past and future, physcial and spirtual, male and female. spider teaches you that everthing you now do is weaving what you will encounter in the future.

the spider awakens creative sensibilities. it weaves a web of inricate and subtle fabic, as if to remind us that the past always subty influences the present and future. often the web will take a spiral shape, the traditional form of creativity and development. the spider found with the web reminds us that we are the center of our own world.

the cancient mystery schools had one precept inscribed above their portals:
know thyselfs and thous shalt know the universe". spider reminds us that the world is woven around us. we are the keepers and the writers of our own destiny, weaving it like a web by out thoughts, feelings and actions.

the spider is something to be meditated upon: are you moving towards a central goal or are you scattered and going in multiple direction. is everything staying focused? are you becoming too involved and/or self absorbed? are you focusing on others' accomplishments and not on your own? are you developing resentment because of it-- for yourself or them?

spider is the guardian of the ancient languages and alphabets.

more on tarantulas in the book also...

if a spider has come into your life, ask yourself

are you not using your createive opportunities?
are you feeling closed in or stuck as if in a web?
do you need to pay attention to your balance and where you are walking in life?
are others out of balance around you?
do you need to write?
are you inspired to write or draw and not following through?

remember that spider is the keeper of knowledge of the primordial alphabet. spider can teach how to use the written langauage with power and creativity so that your words weave a web around those who would read them....

let us know if the spider expands on his appearance for you. enjoy !
