Spider is about creation, engineering, planning, execution of the task, hard work, and beauty. Spider woman is She who has woven the stars into the sky.
What do you want to create? Help spider to start with, and she will help you. She will teach you to plan your creations and engineer them to support and teach you.
Spider is always about creativity and womanhood. Spider is nearly always a She. The Indigenous Americans believed that the stars were suspended from Grandmother Spider’s shining web that reached across the sky. Is night evil? There are places of light, even in the darkest skies.
Spider is a genius, an engineer, a creator extraordinaire. Her web is of the most magnificent material and design. When you are afraid of spider, you are often afraid of your own creativity. What is it that you would create, which you might believe to be evil
Spider always asks you to look to your creativity. She is the weaver of the web of stars, the stars are cosmic dew on her web.

It is an engineering feat, a thing of beauty and wonder.

2017-08-20 at 12:16 am #619Spider often invokes fear – like the famous Marianne Williamson quote: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.”
Spider invokes fear because we fear our own ability to create, our own power.

Chakra Spider by JanCarolBelow the waist, she is gathering information and transmuting it, creating it for above the waist. Above the waist she is looking with insight and healing love, and sending it below the waist.
This is still crude and I’m trying to refine and understand it better. It’s about dantien and heart, grounding and heart. Connection between the grounding, social, exterior side of myself, and the interior, spiritual side of myself.

Spider is the inventor and can symbolise balance. Its 8 legs represent the medicine wheel.
Spider lets you examine your imperfections from a different perspective – one focused on creating transformation from within.
