Spider in the house and mysticism
This eight-legged “miracle” is endowed with a sacred meaning. Let us remember the black widow who “ate” her lovers. But, a modern sign - a spider in the house , promises wealth and good luck to its guests! If you see a small insect in your apartment, do not rush to drive it away with a “broom”.
Interesting fact: spiders are not friends with cockroaches. As they say, survival of the fittest. So if there are spiders in your home, you are unlikely to become neighbors with cockroach clans.
If you meet a white arachnid , then according to legend, it “takes away” the negativity located in your city abode.
Other interpretations of “spider in the house”:
- If you saw a spider in the house and felt fear, the news will be unfavorable.
- If you look at your feet and a spider is crawling towards you, prepare your pockets for financial profit.
- If the spider changes its trajectory and crawls away from you in the opposite direction, expect losses.
- A spider in the house that has climbed up is crawling on your clothes - don’t rush to swear - soon you will buy a new and expensive update!
- The spider wove a web and took a place in the very center. Then the weather will be sunny and clear outside.
- And if the cobweb sways alone, there will be a little rain.
- Time also influences encounters with arachnids. Saw him in the morning - a bad omen. A spider wandering around the apartment in the afternoon promises global good luck. And an evening rendezvous with this guy is a long-awaited gift.
- If a black spider decides to weave a “abode” over the bed, you can become seriously ill. If the bed is a marital bed, this is the most unpleasant interpretation, which means cooling of feelings and betrayal.
- A spider sitting on the threshold is a potential loss.
- You're reading or watching TV and an uninvited guest appears right in front of your face. A spider descending on a web and frozen near your face is a good sign. It means a visit from dear people, a pleasant meeting with some nice person.
Spider Totem
SPIDER TOTEM
There are so many unknown and unknown things in the world... I want to tell you about a very interesting SPIDER totem. I’ve been observing my student for a week now and I just can’t understand whether the style of work has changed, the handwriting is different, and she herself has begun to change. I began to look more closely, and a skillfully woven spider web was clearly visible in her works. Well, how can you miss such a valuable specimen and not write an article about it. I think this information will be useful to many. So SPIDER. All peoples of the world have legends dedicated to the spider. In India, it was associated with the veil of illusion, which represents the entire sensory world. In Greek mythology, the spider was associated with the Moira goddesses of fate, and in Scandinavian legends - with the Norns, women who weaved, measured and cut the threads of human life. Native Americans considered the spider to be a mother-progenitor, linking the past and the future.
Unlike insects, the body of spiders consists of two parts, rather than three, which often gives it a figure-eight shape. Combined with eight legs (instead of six, like insects), this connects the spider with all the diverse mysticism associated with the geometric shape of the number eight. As you know, the number eight is a symbol of infinity. It represents the wheel of life moving from one circle to another. The Spider teaches not only how to make this endless movement, but also how to keep your consciousness at the central point located between the two circles.
The Spider teaches you to maintain balance between past and future, material and spiritual, masculine and feminine. At every moment of time you are busy weaving your future.
The spider awakens in us a special sensitivity to everything that happens. He weaves a thin and intricate web, as if reminding us that the past always has a subtle influence on the present and the future. Often the web can have the shape of a spiral, which traditionally embodies creation and development. The spider sitting at the center of its web reminds us that we are the center of our own world. “Know yourself, and you will know the whole world!” The spider indicates that the world is woven around us. We ourselves are the creators of our destiny, weaving it like a web with the help of our thoughts, feelings and actions
From a mystical and mythological point of view, the spider is associated with the magic of creation. The spider is a symbol of creative power, which is represented by its ability to spin a luxurious web. The main feature of spider energies is their spiral orientation. For people whose totem is the spider, the spiral of the web, tapering at the center, can become an object of meditation. Do you strive for a goal or are you scattering your energies, moving in different directions? Are you able to fully concentrate? Are you too self-absorbed? Do you care more about other people's achievements than your own? Do you feel resentment and resentment toward yourself or others?
The spider is the guardian of ancient languages and alphabets. Every nation has myths about how various languages and alphabets were created. In China, the creation of the hieroglyphic alphabet is attributed to Tsang Chin, a dragon-faced god with four eyes. He based it on patterns of stars, marks on a turtle's shell, and bird tracks in the sand. The Scandinavian god Odin created the runic alphabet by hanging on the Tree of Life for nine days and nights. After which the branches broke off, and an understanding of the runes was revealed to him.
However, according to many, there is an even more ancient alphabet. It was created based on the geometric patterns and angles seen in a spider's web. They consider it the first real alphabet, and the spider as the teacher of language and the bearer of the magic of writing. Perhaps the totem of people who “weave” magic using the written word is the spider.
The spider has long been associated with death and resurrection. This is partly due to the fact that the females of some spiders kill and eat the male after mating. This behavior is often found in the insect world, such as praying mantises. Due to the fact that the spider constantly creates and weaves new webs, it was also a symbol of energies associated with the various phases of the Moon. For people whose totem is the spider, this is a reminder of the need to maintain balance between opposing energies. The Spider teaches that maintaining this balance helps to enhance creativity.
People have come to fear spiders, thanks in no small part to books, films and television shows. Most spiders are poisonous (although only a few are dangerous to humans). With the help of their poison they kill or put their victims into a state of torpor.
The black widow has the worst reputation among spiders, although in most cases this fame is undeserved. This type of spider is found throughout the United States. The adult spider is black in color and has a red hourglass-shaped mark on its abdomen. This is one of the most poisonous spiders, but its poison is not fatal to humans, as many believe. In fact, the black widow is very timid and usually fears people as much, and perhaps even more, than they do.
Another common type of large spider that is well known to people is the tarantula. A folk dance in southern Italy, the Tarantella, was named after this spider. It was mistakenly believed that a tarantula bite caused people to make convulsive movements. Therefore, the dance, which involves moving in a circle and fast movements of the legs, received such a name. The tarantula is considered one of the largest spiders. His body is thickly covered with hair. Like most spiders, the tarantula's bite is poisonous, but for an adult it is no more dangerous than a bee sting. Tarantulas can shoot threads, but do not spin webs. They dig holes or holes in the sand and hide at the bottom. As soon as they sense that someone is approaching their shelter, they jump out, grab the victim and drag him into their hole.
In fact, most spiders are very, very fragile. If you drop a tarantula from your hands, it will break and die. Spiders are an amazing combination of softness and strength. This is an important lesson for those associated with this totem. Spiders are also known for their agility and dexterity. They can maintain balance and move easily along thin silky threads. Not everyone is given the ability to move along the threads of existence and maintain balance. Often, myths and legends tell about people who have learned to balance - in reality and in dreams - on the thin threads between life and death, between the material and spiritual worlds. Spider magic can teach you this, since spiders are skilled at moving along threads.
People, seeing spiders in or near their home, often experience fear and disgust. They need to remember that spiders perform vital functions by controlling insect populations. As a rule, spiders live in hard-to-reach places and prefer to weave their webs in the dark. This says a lot about how to use your creative energies. Don't be afraid that other people won't appreciate your creativity. Weave the threads of creation in the dark, and then, when the rays of the sun touch them, they will sparkle with exquisite beauty.
If a spider has appeared in your life as a totem, ask yourself some important questions. Do you weave your dreams and the fruits of your imagination into real life? Are you using your creative potential? Do you feel as if you are caught in a spider's web or stuck in it? Isn't it time for you to pay attention to your balance and where you are going in life? Do you feel the need to write? Does it often happen that you feel inspired and sit down to write, but then don’t finish it? Remember that the spider is the keeper of the knowledge of the first ancient alphabet. He can teach you how to use writing effectively and creatively so that your words will entice those who read them into their web. And for greater understanding and connection between you and your totem, my magical tattoos with a rite of passage.
Sign - a spider in the house
This refers to a “workhouse” or office. A pack crawled nearby in the house - a business paper or a message. If he starts climbing the walls, the cash bonus will go up. Maybe you have a client whom you have been unable to persuade for a long time to sign a contract. Now - you will do it. If a spider in the house, on the contrary, crawls from top to bottom and quickly disappears from view after touching the floor, this means a delay in wages. Or maybe your boss will call you on the carpet. If you are working and there are no signs of trouble, but a spider falls on your desktop, people envy you. Expect clashes with colleagues.
"Symbol of the Creator"
On this note, I was not even surprised, but rather shocked. Since, as you can discover on the willow tree, my creative issues are varied, this includes drawing, poetry and video blogs and even music, I don’t stop there and try everything new and new, what was my surprise when it turned out that the spider is a symbol creator Take any mythology from ancient Egypt to ancient India, one way or another, the “threads of fate” that the weavers wove are as intertwined as a spider’s web. I am not so familiar with Buddhism, but even there, it is the spider that weaves the web of Maya.
Lately, spiders have attracted me more and more, this is expressed in symbolism. In my case these are rings. I would collect figurines and amulets with the same interest, but bad luck, they are extremely difficult to find. People are afraid of spiders and in their eyes, any product that looks like a spider already a priori has an “unpresentable appearance.” Hence all the difficulties with the search.
My rings are amulets, it’s hard for me to say that they give me some kind of strength, rather they increase it. Like if you multiply 2 by 2, it is 4, but if you multiply 0 by 2, it remains zero. By the way, the rings became amulets only after they fed on my energy. I can’t even imagine how you can sell “amulets”, which only yesterday were just an ordinary piece of metal, after which they turned into jewelry and only after lying in a warehouse for a while, when you deigned to buy them, they suddenly became “amulets”, of course this is so can not be. An amulet can be an object that has been in the possession of a person for a long time with strong energy, and it is this energy that will make the object an amulet.
Each of my rings has a name, I have not yet found other amulets, but I already know the name of each of them and what properties they will have.
From the outside, all this may seem like nonsense, only until it affects you yourself and only then do people think about what is happening, but, as a rule, it becomes too late...
Sign: spider in the bathroom
There are not many signs associated with a spider in the house. Usually, a small insect hiding in the bathroom promises stagnation in the personal sphere. Try to open up to new things and step towards a love relationship. The room is connected with water, so the spider can symbolize a money leak. Also, take care of your things so as not to worry about unexpected loss.
General interpretations:
Sign - a spider in the house carries a money connotation or portends good news or meetings. Also a chance to win the lottery or receive an inheritance from afar. If the spider in the house is black , this is an unfavorable sign. Any event will go through life with a negative connotation. A spider descending on a thread during a feast foreshadows your enemy. An arthropod encountered at the end of the day is a sign of future joyful events. A meeting that takes place at night promises a professional takeoff. Maybe you will get a promising position or begin to confidently climb the career ladder. A spider in the house that has fallen into the water promises unpleasant work moments. Getting caught in a spider's web is considered a bad omen. If you get confused in it, expect trouble. The way out is to surpass your left shoulder and say: “Keep away from me.” Everyone wants to find love. Then look for the spider sitting on the wall with your eyes. It is undesirable to see an insect in the kitchen - this will lead to domestic quarrels.
Useful accessories
“Spider” cufflinks will help you reach heights in your career and unlock your inner potential. A keychain with the famous Spiderman will become a reliable talisman against negative energy and will help you achieve success in the educational process. For those who like to work at the computer, you can use a computer mouse pad with a spider image as a stimulant. This accessory will help increase interest in the work being done. When paying attention to an arthropod as a talisman, you should remember that the Spider talisman will reveal hidden abilities and talents, teach you how to manage emotions and feelings, help you analyze the situation and make the right decision.
Design options
A spider pendant is most often small, with a bright precious or non-precious stone instead of the belly. It is made from gold, silver and base metals. The insect is easily recognized by its silhouette with 8 short legs.
The spider can also be depicted against the background of a thin web. This decoration option is more massive and catchy. Making an analogue of a spider's web is a rather difficult task for a craftsman: few people manage to convey the combination of fragility and strength in metal.
Beginning in the 1930s, another original method was invented for making spider jewelry. The Dane Orla Eggert suggested using dried insects for this. A thin layer of electroplated silver or gold was applied to the base. The pendants turned out incredibly realistic.

The meaning of a tattoo in prison
One of the reasons why a tattoo with a web on the arm can cause a negative reaction is the prevalence of such symbolism in prison. In Russian colonies this is one of the most significant and respected symbols. Each row of the net represents the year the prisoner spent in prison.
Important! In the past, the design of a spider in a web was a symbol of the "general of the underworld", the leader who creates a criminal network. Unauthorized application of such a tattoo was very dangerous, because when going to prison, the wearer had to be responsible for appropriating regalia that was not required by status. However, today this meaning is becoming a thing of the past.
The modern criminal interpretation of this tattoo is closer to the ideas brought from the British and American criminal environment. There, spider webs decorating a shoulder, elbow or face indicate the wearer’s rejection of generally accepted rules and a desire to resist social pressure.
Representatives of the punk movement also used this image as a symbol of the fight against the system. It was from the American prison environment that spider webs entered the subculture. They are worn by modern Nazis, anti-fascists, and bikers. Each wearer attaches its own meaning to the “Web” tattoo.
Spider crawling up: the meaning of the tattoo
The spider looks scary in real life. This is exactly the effect that people who get a similar tattoo want to achieve. They literally “infuse” a special meaning into their design, endowing themselves with original qualities after creating a tattoo on the body.
The first and main meaning of a spider tattoo is pedantry and accuracy. These are the qualities that a living insect exhibits. It is not uncommon for pedantic and punctual people to have such a tattoo. In addition, it is believed that if you pin a spider crawling upward on your body, it will bring good luck to a person and allow him to more confidently strive for his goals, moving forward without obstacles.
INTERESTING: The eight legs in the spider’s drawing symbolize the infinity sign. People believe that such a symbolic image can bring them spiritual harmony and the cyclical nature of good events in life.
A spider crawling upward on a tattoo with eight legs should give a person confidence in himself and his actions, “instill” courage, fearlessness, and stubbornness. Such a drawing is filled by those who want to achieve peace of mind.
INTERESTING: Another meaning of a spider tattoo is a symbol of prosperity. Such a drawing must necessarily have a cobweb in which the spider must sit or climb down (climb) along it.
The meaning of a tattoo should be judged only based on the very “character” of the design. Of great importance is the image of the “mood” of the insect: aggressiveness, playfulness, calmness.
Tattoo: spider crawling up
If you chose the opposite spider:
The opposite aspect of the Spider is related to the negative side of the woman. The spider always eats its partner when the process is already completed. The warrior in her heart is too strong. If your partner begins to treat you with contempt or contempt, you cannot trust him.
If you are now out of touch, you may be terrorizing some member of your family or employee with criticism. This type of negative criticism only destroys relationships and reflects the flaws that you hate about yourself. If you present yourself this way, you have lost the game.
If this doesn't sound like your situation, take a look at another message: the opposite of Spider help brings a lack of creativity.
If you fail using your abilities, your lack of creativity can lead to destruction. If you feel stagnant and unable to move in a positive direction, you may again become subservient to others who are succeeding.
Get moving, find joy and new ideas in the achievements of others, and use them to propel your own new phase of creative rotation. Observe the Spider's fabric, and find pleasure in the ideas you get from its universal language.
Spider symbol and its interpretation
An invertebrate arthropod that belongs to the class of arachnids (Arachnoidea, Arachnida). In symbolism it is traditionally, although erroneously, viewed as an insect. The image of a spider is ubiquitous, extremely polysemantic and ambivalent.
As a symbolic image, the spider forms the basis of a significant number of mythological folklore subjects in a variety of both continuous and isolated cultural traditions. The interpretation of this animal as a symbol is simultaneously (to varying degrees) influenced by several characteristic features of its appearance and behavior:
The generation of threads of a new substance “from itself” and the formation of an ordered structure from it is an extremely important aspect that determines the meaning of the spider as a symbol of creation. In this meaning, the spider naturally manifests itself in the role of a creature involved in the foundations of the universe.
In different traditions, he himself is a cosmic creator, demiurge or the highest deity (Cosmic Spider, Great Spider, Great Spinner), creating the fabric of the world, accompanying the creator gods as an adviser and assistant, or tirelessly performing the work established by the cosmic order and necessary for its maintenance .
Thanks to the shape of the radial web it creates, the spider is associated with the symbolism of the center (cosmic, Universe), centripetal movement and radiation, spiral (or concentric circles) as an image of expansion and development. Sitting in the center of the diverging rays, the spider is often considered a solar creature, likened to the sun and is its symbol.
Being the creator of the Cosmos, the spider can simultaneously act as the creator of life. In the form of a spider, the Great Father or Great Mother weaves into the pattern of existence all people (all living things), connected to him or her by an umbilical cord thread.
The ability and constant readiness to kill makes the spider a symbol of death, destruction, finitude and the transient nature of all phenomena of the world of phenomena, the forces ruling over this world and all-consuming time. In this capacity, the spider is considered as a lunar creature or the personification of the Moon itself, and is associated with its constant transformations.
The meaning of animals and insects in the Chinese tradition of Feng Shui
The element of our planet Earth is associated in the Chinese tradition with stability and confidence in all directions of life.
According to Feng Shui, land animals are distinguished by their extraordinary strength of will and spirit, so even a simple small snail will become a symbol with enormous potential in your home.
True, such talismans should be selected taking into account the personal characteristics of the owner, and not only on the basis of general Feng Shui recommendations.
One of the oldest manifestations of courage and strength is the tiger, which, as a rule, is white in color according to Feng Shui. This animal is one of the four main defenders of the home.
It is no coincidence that the most famous feng shui painting of a tiger in China shows a predator guarding a house.
Tigers also act as good luck talismans when placed above the front door on New Year's Eve. Then the whole family is provided with his patronage.
In addition, some Chinese provinces believe that the tiger in Feng Shui has significance for the birth of healthy children and a successful marriage.
Today the following types of talismans are distinguished:
- The dozing tiger is one of the most balanced symbols, so it is ideal for overly emotional and energetic people. Such a talisman looks appropriate in a small apartment.
- An animal sitting on a handful of coins represents a successful business. It can be placed in the career zone to acquire a new position or in the wealth sector to increase your wealth.
- A predator with an open mouth and bared fangs helps add status. It enhances the leader’s energy and helps protect against evil forces. Keeping this figurine is allowed only if there is a dragon talisman in the house.
- A Feng Shui painting of a tiger can be on a fabric basis and imply only the head of the predator. A similar talisman in China is hung on gates. It is also allowed to use paper images as curtains, and Feng Shui also allows images of a tiger to be used as a basis for creating toys and bedding.
