Seeing cobwebs in a house or even in a city apartment is a common occurrence. Little spiders find secluded places and settle down there, covering dark corners with their webs.
Often, the first thing a person remembers when he sees a cobweb in the corner of an apartment is signs, folk beliefs and superstitions
.
Some believe that a spider's web promises prosperity and prosperity. Others believe that the web is a kind of amulet that protects the house and the people living in it from troubles and misfortunes.
Our ancestors have long believed that spiders are friends with the Brownie, and the web is the best catcher of problems, misfortunes and sorrows. Through its cells happiness and good luck come into the house, but evil and everything bad sticks, gets entangled in the web and melts.
Why does it appear in the house?
For many people, spiders cause a feeling of hostility, and if these creatures appear in their home, they try in every possible way to get rid of them. Should you be afraid of spiders appearing indoors and what to do if they catch your eye?
Many eight-legged
If you often begin to notice these eight-legged creatures in your apartment, then this is a good sign. It is believed that spiders are able to sense the energy of a room and appear only in places where a lot of negative energy accumulates. There is no need to worry - spiders that suddenly come to your house will heal the aura of your home and rid the space of everything bad.
There is another sign that explains the sudden invasion of spiders. A large number of them in the house often portends wealth, a happy life and good health. But you shouldn’t trust omens entirely. Sometimes a large cluster of insects indicates that it is time for you to do some spring cleaning.
Crawling up the wall
Have you met a spider scurrying along the wall towards the ceiling? This is a good omen, promising good luck and profit. If it goes down to the floor, then this indicates monetary losses and unnecessary expenses.
If the spider sits motionless on the wall, then you can try your luck with it. Watch carefully where he crawls. Is the spider heading in your direction? Expect success in business! If he crawled in the opposite direction, then luck will leave you.
In bathroom
The events that this insect predicts depend on where exactly you saw the spider. Each room in the house has its own energy coloring. For example, the bathroom has always been considered a place where all kinds of leaks can occur: money, information, health, etc.
So if a large spider has settled in the corner of the bathroom or climbed into the bathroom itself, then expect losses, gossip, and slander. To reduce the likelihood of the predicted materialization, carefully pick up the insect and throw it outside. You should not flush a spider down the sink or toilet, as you may flush your luck with it.
In the kitchen
The kitchen is not a place for insects. Therefore, if an eight-legged friend has woven a web in this room, this means that not all is well in the house. A spider that has settled in the kitchen indicates quarrels, discord between family members, betrayal and betrayal.
Running on the floor
If you see this creature on the floor, then watch where it crawls. If the spider is heading towards you, then expect profit and good news in the near future. If he runs away from you in the opposite direction, then this does not bode well. Most likely, unexpected expenses, troubles and troubles await you.
Did the spider climb onto the threshold? This sign promises illness or death of a loved one. In this case, you need to expel the uninvited guest from the house so that what he predicted does not come true.
In bed and on the bed
Seeing a spider in the bed means increased prosperity and good news. If the visit of this creature frightened you, then you may frighten your luck. Therefore, it is better not to panic when you see an uninvited guest. Carefully pick him up and throw him outside.
If a spider gets under your clothes and crawls over your body, this is not a very good omen. Perhaps you have some problems with your significant other or your spouse has someone else on the side.
If this insect has built its web over the marital bed, then this indicates stagnation in the relationship, boredom and indifference of the partners to each other. These bonds urgently need to be swept away, as they have no place in the bedroom.
The meaning of signs by time of day
To interpret a sign, you need to correlate it with the time of day. If a spider appears in the house in the morning before noon, then this sign portends troubles, financial losses and fraud. Therefore, you should not plan anything important for the near future.
Seeing a spider in your house during the day is a sign of great joy and pleasant surprises. And if someone has not yet met their fate, this sign promises them a fateful meeting.
Another interpretation of this sign is a quarrel with your soulmate. You must learn to control yourself and not use harsh language, otherwise the argument may escalate into something more.
If the incident occurred in the evening, expect a promotion or a meeting with an influential person who will have a significant impact on your future life. But besides this interpretation, there is another explanation for the sign: you can expect large expenses as a result of losses or fraud. Therefore, fate advises caution. And sometimes expenses may be associated with the unexpected arrival of relatives.
Seeing a spider at night means receiving great material benefits or hoping to change your life for the better.
Take the spider outside the house, but do not kill it.
Fortune telling hand
Depending on the gender and marital status of the fortuneteller, the bird on the surface of the wax takes on different interpretations. For men, such a symbol promises professional growth if their work involves travel or creativity. In family relationships, the fortuneteller will be able to support the marriage, although scandals with the spouse may occur.
For a young man without a partner, the figure indicates an imminent marriage. In the near future, he will meet a girl with whom he can build a serious relationship.
If a woman has formed a bird on the surface of the water, she skillfully combines work and home. This sign predicts an early pregnancy. The bird falls to overly talkative girls.
For pregnant women, this figure portends an easy birth. If the bird is headless, the baby may have problems with the blood vessels. A figure with a large beak indicates a risk of miscarriage.
Why find a spider web in a car?
The sign about a cobweb in a car is ambiguous. Its interpretations differ, depending on where exactly the presence of the spider was detected:
- Inside the car - on the seat, dashboard, steering wheel - this is a good sign. If the driver is getting ready to travel, do not remove thin threads. They indicate the patronage of higher powers. The trip will be successful.
- Under the hood - a sign warns of breakdowns and high costs. In the near future we will have to repair the car. In this case, it is better to remove the spider and the result of its activity from the car.
How to get rid of cobwebs in the house
Despite the fact that most house spiders are not capable of causing harm to humans and their health, the presence of visible cobwebs in the house indicates that the owners are careless and that due attention is not given to cleaning. In addition, not many people calmly perceive the appearance of spiders in their visible field of vision
In order to say goodbye to arthropods forever and not be afraid of their return, you need to eliminate everything that “attracts” them to your home. All you need to do is clean up the house and get rid of the main causes:
- Seal all cracks in the floor and walls. Also check the window frames and correct any imperfections there.
- If you have an attic, then first of all it requires putting things in order. Get rid of old unnecessary things, put everything on the shelves, wipe off the dust, wash the floor.
- Cover all ventilation holes with special covers with a fine mesh.
- With each cleaning, do not forget to wipe the corners, including the ceiling, where spiders usually live.
- Don’t forget to clean hard-to-reach places in the house: the space under the bathtub, sink, behind the stove, under sofas, behind heating radiators.
- Get rid of flies in your house. This is the most favorite treat of spiders. Buy special adhesive tapes or aerosols, and place mosquito nets on the windows.
- If a nest is found in the apartment, collect all the cobwebs and treat the area with any essential oil. Spiders categorically do not like him, so when they return, they will try to leave the place as quickly as possible.
If you believe the signs, the appearance of a spider in the house promises wealth and good luck to the owners. But this is only if we are talking about one copy. If you often notice cobwebs in the corners, and spiders have become frequent guests in your home, then this only promises general cleaning.
How to neutralize the negative side of a sign
Although large spiders look scary, they are actually harmless creatures that clean up household insects.
According to fortune telling, you should never kill a spider, because it will cause a lot of trouble to all the inhabitants of the house. Also, you should not remove the cobwebs from the horns, so as not to release negative energy.
The only place to clear away the cobwebs is in the badges. If a spider begins to build a nest on objects of worship, this shows that the people living in this house do not care about religion and simply do not need icons.
If a dead arthropod is found on the windowsill, it should be thrown outside the house. These activities will help happiness and joy enter your home.
If the spider brings something bad, you should gently knock it out, saying: “They will distract you from your home, but you will not be able to do it”: “If you find a spider in any room in your house, use the spider as a trailer.
If the spider is in the room and won't leave, pick it up in your hand, carefully and carefully, and remove it from the house. Outside, put him on the ground and ask you to leave and accept any negative feelings that may arise about it. Then turn and leave, but don't talk to anyone or stop along the way.
If it is unclear how to appeal to popular and popular beliefs, it is better to do what the ancient philosophers recommended. It was said that if you return to good fortune-telling, and not remember badly, then the omen will not fulfill. And, most importantly, fate does not necessarily always send us any warning signs about upcoming events. Spiders sometimes appear at home sometimes by accident, so you should not give any assessment of mystical significance.
Truth or lie?
a huge number of superstitious people
People in ancient times observed a lot of the world of insects and drew certain conclusions from their habits. Therefore, I would like to ask, what signs with spiders have come true for you?
Usually, the first thing we remember when we come across a web are signs. Is not it? Moreover, thoughts about folk beliefs often come to mind even to inveterate skeptics. And this is not without reason, since in many countries of the world, since ancient times, the spider and its hunting web were considered something special: the spider itself is still positioned as the guardian of the hearth, and its web is a kind of amulet in which happiness and prosperity are “tangled” and remain and well-being.
According to signs, a web can not only rid a house of insects, but also predict future events
Killing an insect
There is a sign: a spider is going down the web, and you accidentally slammed it. Don't be alarmed, there is no penalty for intentionally killing an insect. In ancient times, this was a sign of a good event to come; 40 sins were removed (according to unverified data, other sources indicate 7). You should be careful if the killing of the arthropod was planned. The elimination of the protector of the hearth promises the arrival of misfortunes and diseases. His associates may stop weaving the web, thus the protection of the house will weaken, and luck will leave the walls of the home.
Why do spiders fly on webs?
The migration process is a natural phenomenon, but some spiders cannot fly even on a web. Migratory activities are carried out by small representatives of the arachnid family - tenets, . Everyone else lives their entire lives in one area or settles nearby.
Flying spiders prepare to travel in late September. In this way, the young generation, ready for mating, settles, as well as females with a cocoon, inside of which there are eggs. This desire is related to lifestyle. Many spiders live alone, gathering in pairs only during mating season. The rest of the time they hunt independently in a certain territory.
After birth, young spiders shed a thin web and hang in the air, waiting for a gust of wind. Air currents carry them in different directions, dispersing them throughout the surrounding area. Arachnids rise up to 1000 m and fly safely over distances of hundreds of kilometers. In tropical countries, a mass flight instills fear in local residents and tourists. The sky seems to be overcast with clouds.
Once children came to one camp for a vacation, settled into rooms, and settled down. Then the camp director began walking around the rooms and warning the children to be afraid of the Flying Web. Under no circumstances should you touch this web with your hands. If it flies in your direction, then you need to hide somewhere, or even better, run away wherever your eyes look. Also, you should never leave the houses at night, and it’s better not to open the windows. Even if there is a mosquito net on the window, this will not save you from the Flying Web.
The children laughed at the director's words. They thought that he was saying this on purpose to intimidate the children so that they would behave. And on the very first night, three boys climbed out through the window and went to the house where the girls lived to scare them. They threw a firecracker into the sleeping girls' room and ran back. They quickly jumped into their window. They look - but the third one is not there, he has disappeared somewhere. Well, okay, don't go looking for him. You have to pretend that you are sleeping.
In the morning this boy was found next to the girls' house. His entire face and neck were cut up. The boy lay in a pool of his own blood. The director saw this and began to say loudly to everyone:
– You see what happens to those who do not believe in the Flying Web. She was the one who killed the boy.
– What kind of web is this anyway?
“Ten years ago, builders dug a large pit near the camp. So they dug up this web. She's probably a million years old. During this time, the web became stronger than diamond or Kevlar. It is very thin and therefore very sharp. And it is impossible to catch her. Once, I remember, they sucked her into a vacuum cleaner, and she fell out of the vacuum cleaner because she cut it into many pieces. One cook swung a large meat knife at the web, and this knife crumbled into fifty fragments. There is no escape from the Flying Web. Just run. They say it can even cut right through a brick wall.
- Why does she fly?
– It is very light. Even the smallest breeze lifts it into the air.
After this, children began to be afraid of flying cobwebs. We constantly looked around, especially when the wind blew.
And then one day two boys - the same ones - were lying in their room. Can't sleep. There is a strong wind outside. They are afraid that a Flying Web will fly into the room. They even used the flashlights of their phones to see her in time. They shine and talk. Here one boy fell silent. The second one asks him: “Are you sleeping or something?” There was no answer. The boy shone the light on his friend’s face - and it was all covered in blood. It is clear that this terrible and elusive Flying Web is somewhere nearby.
The boy ran out of the room and ran wherever his eyes were looking. He ran out of the camp, then ran along the road for a long time, and jumped out onto the highway. He started waving his arms for the car to stop. I caught a big truck and climbed inside. The driver tells him: “Listen, kid, there’s some kind of cobweb stuck behind you. Let me clean it up." The man reached out, grabbed the web, screamed - he looked at his hand, and it was cut off at the very elbow.
The boy jumped out of the car. He didn't know what to do, what to do. The web has attached itself to him from behind and can kill him at any moment. Then he remembered that the web seemed to burn well. The boy returned to the car in which its driver was suffering. He grabbed a lighter, handed it to the man and said: “Please burn it.” There was a bang as the web instantly burned out. So the boy was saved.
Times of Day
There is a sign: a spider descends down the web in the morning - this means bad luck. During the day, be attentive and careful. Minor troubles or an unpleasant conversation are possible. If the insect rises, it will be a successful and productive day.
When a spider descends down the web during the day, the omen promises failure in love affairs. A quarrel with a lover, unjustified hopes are possible. The brownie's messenger warns that one should be more restrained in words and in the manifestation of negative emotions. The opposite movement of an arthropod predicts success in matters of the heart. A new pleasant acquaintance or a date that will become fateful.
A spider descends down the web at night - a sign that warns of financial loss. There may be problems at work or unexpected expenses. If an arthropod crawls upward, fortune is on your side and your financial affairs will go uphill.

Did you remember from which places the spiders set off on their journey (Answers 2 - 3 children)
Let's watch
like the wind will carry a spider with its web.
Flying spiders in tropical countries are a common, fascinating and frightening phenomenon. In the middle zone, migration is not so obvious, but it does occur. They don't have wings, so everyone will answer that they can't fly. They crawl well, some jump. But thanks to this, they are able to migrate over long distances – up to several kilometers.
Meeting point
The place in the apartment where the spider was seen also has meaning in popular interpretations.
Meeting in the kitchen means the presence of negativity in the house. The kitchen has always been considered the place where vital energy accumulates in the house. The presence of an insect in such a place indicates discord in the family. There are relationship issues in the house that need to be resolved. Possible betrayal by a relative. If an insect appears on the stove, it means guests. As a rule, these are unexpected guests, those who are “worse than a Tatar.”
There is a sign: a spider climbs down the web in the bathroom - this means energy leaks from the house. A bath is also a place where energy accumulates, but material energy. Any damage with leaks in the bathroom should not be allowed. The appearance of an arthropod in this room warns of losses in the family. To prevent it, the main thing is not to flush the messenger down the toilet or down the sink drain. Carefully pick up the poor fellow and take him out of the room.
If he created a web over the front door, that’s a good sign. This is how the spider protects the energy space in the home, protects the hearth and brings good luck to the household.
An arthropod running across the table marks the possibility of a change of residence or travel.
If a dead furry-legged messenger is seen, it will be misfortune. Problems will snowball, the death of a relative or a significant loss of property or money is possible.
Where can you find cobwebs?
Spiders are able to live both on the street and in our homes, respectively, and we can also find their catching nets absolutely everywhere. And the exact place where it was noticed helps a lot in understanding the signs.
In the house
According to popular belief, a lot of cobwebs in the house means wealth. But you shouldn’t go to extremes and completely forget about cleaning just so that the whole apartment is covered in this spider’s waste product. This trick won't work. In addition, it should be remembered that to implement this belief, fertile soil is needed - a friendly, warm atmosphere. And then, the net carefully woven by the eight-legged guest will certainly fulfill its main purpose - to catch luck and keep it in the apartment.
There are other signs about cobwebs in the house:
- if you woke up in the morning and found that a spider had woven its weightless web right above your bed, then this is a very good omen - happiness awaits you soon;
- most often, the web can be seen in various corners and, according to signs, this location indicates that a lot of negative energy has accumulated here - the spider shows you exactly where to “clean” the house with the help of a candle and prayer;
- if a spider hung its webs over the door or behind it and a girl saw them, then according to popular beliefs she should be wary of the betrayal of her loved one.
The spider is considered a brownie’s pet, and the more such pets there are, the more reliable a talisman a carpet made from their silk threads will be.
If the web was found in the kitchen, for example, under the dining table, behind the stove or near the leg of a stool, then this promises the mistress of the house an assistant. According to popular beliefs, in this case the spider is trying to help you with household chores and will do everything to make any task a success!
By the way, a weightless cobweb that you found in your own apartment can become a personal amulet. To do this, you need to sew a small linen bag with your own hands (without a sewing machine, just with a thread and a needle!) and carefully put the web in it. It is advisable to carry this talisman with you at all times - it will protect you in all situations and accompany you in all your endeavors.
On the window
If a spider has woven a web on a window, then according to the sign you can hope for good weather. No precipitation is expected during the day, and you can safely spend the whole day in nature. However, it should be remembered that this explanation is fully justified only if there was no owner in the web.
Other signs about cobwebs on a window:
- if the cobweb on the window frame was accidentally touched by you, very soon you will meet an old friend;
- if you did not notice the web woven by a spider on the window and tore it off, then this promises a quarrel with a loved one;
- when the spider is in the process of creating its webs, it promises to receive news soon;
- the owner of the web was frightened of you and rushed up his web - the news is sure to be good, ran down - the news promises to be bad;
- if the spider does not pay any attention to you at all and continues to sit motionless on its web, then according to the sign, profit awaits you - it can be money or a valuable gift;
- the opposite meaning is the popular belief about an old torn cobweb on a window - after such a discovery, failures in the financial sphere will overtake you;
In general, seeing a spider spin a web is a good omen, no matter where it is. But in this case you can’t rip it off. If you notice a web with its owner during the cleaning process and do not accept such proximity, then it is better to carefully collect it on a broom and leave it outside the threshold, while trying to make sure that the spider itself remains alive.
On the street
Often, while on the street, we very rarely pay attention to such a small thing as a cobweb, and it becomes noticed only when it touches our skin. What could this mean?
- According to superstition, getting caught in a web is a good sign. Wealth awaits you.
- If you find both a cobweb and its owner on your clothes, this is a sign of a new thing.
- There are a lot of cobwebs on your clothes - a lot of small troubles await you, because of which your reputation may suffer.
- A spider's web has hit you in the face - such a sign promises clear sunny weather and new pleasant impressions.
great mood
Spider is coming down
Why does a spider climb down a web from the ceiling? He warns of an impending financial problem. Be careful with your wallet and other valuables so that they do not fall prey to thieves. There may be a delay in payments of earned money, or the debtor will extend the period for repayment of the debt. The scale of the troubles is in direct proportion to the size of the hairy foot. The thicker the spider, the larger it promises trouble.
When a spider climbs down the web during a home meal, the omen means that an ill-wisher is lurking among acquaintances. Moreover, this is a common enemy for everyone whom the spider caught eating.
The worst thing is when the net spinner ends up on the doorstep of the house. This is a sign of the imminent death of one of the family members.
If the spider rises to the top, this is a favorable omen. An improvement in your financial situation is coming. If you notice an arthropod rising after sunset, make a wish quickly. It will certainly come true.
Spiders: signs and superstitions regarding color
Old people advise to always take into account the color of the spider you see. If you believe folk superstitions, then:
- The black spider has strong energy. It comes either before trouble or before a pleasant event. Depends on the person’s attitude: if you are afraid of a spider - expect misfortune, and vice versa.
- The red spider is always associated with receiving, acquiring, and accumulating. It portends a promotion, financial growth, prosperity, salary increase or a large bonus. Moreover, the achievements will be deserved.
- The green spider is associated with luck, luck, and some risk. Like red, it predicts money. But in this case, material well-being can be obtained by chance and without effort. The green spider serves as a harbinger of winning the lottery, inheritance, or finding a wallet with a large sum on the street.
- A yellow spider indicates the successful completion of some process. What you start will definitely give the desired result. If there is a pregnant woman in the house, she will give birth to a healthy baby. Your wish will come true, and your working project will take off.
- Cross spider. The animal is poisonous and poses a danger not only on the physical, but also on the subtle level. The cross predicts difficult trials, illness, death.
The larger the spider, the more pronounced its influence
But they also pay attention to the number of individuals seen. Sometimes a lot of small spiders are a sign of a more serious event than the appearance of one large animal
What does the color of a spider you see mean?
The meaning of the sign largely depends on the color of the arthropod insect. A spider with a black body portends unpleasant events or illness of one of the household members. In other cases, the signs do not promise anything bad:
- a white spider portends favorable changes and joyful events;
- red or green - for profit, a successful transaction;
- yellow - to success in business.
The greatest danger threatens the one who sees the cross. According to legend, his appearance in the house predicts death or serious illness.
Why are there so many cobwebs in autumn?
September has begun. The weather is unusually calm and warm. I went outside on a foggy morning and gasped! The bushes and grass are richly decorated (there is no other way to put it) with cobwebs.
Why are there always so many cobwebs in autumn? We are not talking about Indian summer webs flying through the air, on which spider juveniles settle.
Although this is also very interesting. The spiders, the size of half the letter “o”, or even the size of a dot, attach the end of the web to something solid and begin to spin a long thread. Then they return to the base, bite the web, and the wind carries them away. The trouble is, if during this maneuver the web sticks together and falls into a ball: you will have to start over, and the spiderlings do not have many resources.
The little spider can control its flight by moving back and forth along the web and changing its center of gravity.
But the current webs, hung everywhere in abundance, belong to adult web spiders. (For reference: Dahl writes that tenets are called fibres, threads; in a narrower sense, they are trapping nets, including spider nets). There are also orb-web spiders.
It turns out that the abundance of cobwebs is a sign of warm, stable, dry weather.
Spiders are excellent at predicting the weather.
These eight-legged and eight-eyed creatures are even called the “Dijonval barometer.” Naturalist Dijonval Quatremere, in his youth as a rebel general, spent seven years in captivity. While in prison, he observed how the behavior of spiders changed before the weather changed. Apparently, there was no shortage of observation items in the cell.
He learned to predict rain, wind, weather changes, its stability, wind direction - depending on how the spiders weaved their webs.
Based on his “spider” forecasts, Napoleonic General Peshigru made plans for his military offensives and was always successful.
If you type “How spiders predict the weather” into a search engine, you’ll get a bunch of articles with an interesting story about Dijonval and Peshigru, and not a single one about the mechanisms that make spiders good weather forecasters. Well, they feel humidity, temperature, pressure - but they still need to somehow combine this data into a long-term forecast, which even people with their computing power do not always succeed in doing. And here is a little brainless spider! Simply amazing!
So, the abundance of cobwebs foreshadows us:
- stable clear sunny weather
- clear warm autumn and cold winter
- approaching frost.
You don’t have to look at spiders to guess that winter will come after autumn and frost will begin. But it is clear that spiders use the remaining warm days to catch more prey and eat more thoroughly before wintering.
That's why there are so many cobwebs in the sunny, warm autumn.
And about the weather...
Superstitions associated with changes in weather conditions in connection with the behavior of the spider have a scientific basis. Therefore, you can safely trust them.
An increase in the number of spiders means warming. If a cobweb with a spider on it flies past you, a dry and warm day is coming. If in the spring, while digging up plantations on the site, you notice a lot of spiders, it means that the summer will be dry and hot. A spider saving its home, reducing its web - this means windy weather. When he sits in the center of the web without moving, it means it’s raining. If a spider descends down the web in the evening, it means sunny weather for tomorrow. The insect weaves a perfect round web in dry and clear weather. When an insectivore leaves a lot of dried corpses of flies and other fauna in its web, it means that in the coming days it will be warm and clear outside. When a spider has woven a lot of web in the house, expect colder temperatures and frosts soon.
Folk signs associated with spiders
According to ancient legends, spiders are the brownie's assistants. Most often, these uninvited guests settle in the darkest and most inaccessible corners of the house. It is in such places that negative energy accumulates, which spiders skillfully draw into their web, preventing it from spreading throughout the room.
Most signs associated with spiders promise good luck, prosperity and good health. Most often, when people see a spider, they believe that some good news awaits them, so these insects have always been treated with respect
Our ancestors paid special attention to the size of the spider. A large and fat insect foreshadowed a lot of money and great luck
If the spider is small, then it promises little success.
Many folk signs are associated with the web. If you notice that spider tangles often begin to appear under the ceiling or in corners, this means that spiders sense the presence of bad energy in the house. According to legend, the web is considered a kind of trap for negative vibrations and bad energy.
If in the forest you accidentally stumble upon a cobweb and it gets on your face, then this is a bad sign, promising gossip, bad talk and slander. Your reputation may be damaged. To avoid a bad omen, immediately wash your face with clean water three times.
If a spider has made a web in the corner of the front door, then your home is under its sensitive protection. All bad people entering your home will be energetically “disarmed”, that is, they will not be able to damage, jinx or tell you anything bad. Also, spider webs above the door have always been considered money catchers.
It used to be common practice to use spiders to find out one's immediate destiny. Seeing a spider flying in the wind on a web, those who were especially curious tried to catch it in order to find out about their future. Having caught a cobweb, you had to say: “Spider, spider, down to the guests, up to the news.” After these words, it was necessary to watch where the insect would crawl. If it is down, then there will be guests, if it is up, then you should expect good news.
Signs about cobwebs on the street
It’s easy to get caught on a cobweb in a park, in a yard, or in a forest. Usually people experience discomfort when they touch sticky threads. In reality, there is nothing wrong with such contact. On the contrary, for people caught in a cobweb, fate is preparing a pleasant surprise: a successful coincidence of circumstances, an unexpected profit.
If a web with a spider gets directly onto your clothes or shoes, you are in for an exciting shopping experience. When a whole bundle of spider threads is found on your clothes, you can’t wait for new things. These are sticky troubles that will change the opinions of others about a person for the worse.
When a flying cobweb lands on your face, expect good news. If everything happens in early autumn, during Indian summer, the event is interpreted as a prediction of warm, clear weather. The more these small animals fly in the wind, the longer the Indian summer will last.

What to do with a spider
An arachnid that has taken up residence in a house is considered a happy “talisman” of a human home, and a spider on the body, as a rule, foretells joyful events for the residents of the house. For this reason, you should never kill a spider; it is a great sin. The arachnid killer faces loss of money, exacerbation of illnesses, and various minor troubles. Moreover, this “curse” affects not only the person who killed the spider, it can also “cover” other family members.
Sometimes the killing of an arthropod does occur, usually by accident, when a person who suddenly discovers a spider simply gets scared and instinctively swats the arachnid with his hand.
In this case, the dead creature must be taken out of the house and thrown away with the words: “Forgive what I have done, find peace, do not take revenge on me!”
Having discovered a spider on a person (if an encounter with an arthropod promises pleasant events for the owner of the house), it must be carefully removed from the body and released. The arachnid itself will run away to its home.
Fell on my hand
There are situations when, as if out of nowhere, a spider falls on your hand. This is a significant sign that promises unexpected changes in life and a sharp turn of events. To find out whether they will be positive or negative, it is necessary to monitor the further behavior of the insect and which limb it decided to land on:
- on the left hand - to quick unexpected wealth;
- on the right hand - to a pleasant and long-awaited meeting;
- quickly crawled onto clothes - a wardrobe update is coming;
- tries to run away - to good news.
While the spider is crawling along your hand, you need to analyze its size. The larger the insect, the greater the financial profit or the stronger the emotion the person will experience from the meeting. A small and barely noticeable predictor promises small joys.
On a note!
If a spider lands on your hand, this is a good omen, in most cases. You shouldn’t try to drive him away, as this can scare away your luck.
Why is it said that a spider falls on a person?
Eight-legged arthropods (arachnids) live not only in forests and abandoned buildings. They can be found in almost any human home, so a spider descending on a cobweb or simply falling on a person in an apartment is not such a rare occurrence. To correctly interpret such a “meeting”, it is necessary to take into account many factors: the time of appearance of the arachnid, its color and behavior.
When it falls
A spider can unexpectedly fall on a person during the day or smoothly descend on a web at night. Depending on the time of day, the appearance of an arthropod promises different things to the owner of the home:
- If this happens in the morning , then you should not expect anything good. A morning encounter with a spider portends misfortune, especially if the arachnid is black. After such an incident, it is better to postpone all important matters until the next day.
- If a spider descends on a person during the day , then, on the contrary, positive changes in life await him, perhaps even a quick acquaintance with a new love.
- When a spider “meets” its owner in the evening , a person should not be upset. The event promises a promotion, receiving important good news, and one can hope that old dreams will come true.
- A night encounter with an arthropod may seem to unknowing people the most dangerous, but this is not so. A spider that falls on the owner of the house at night promises him an unexpected financial profit, as well as a general improvement in life.
Arthropod color
Knowledgeable people recommend taking into account the color of the spider you encounter. This factor sometimes radically changes the meaning of a sign:
- The most positive life changes (a wedding, the appearance of a long-awaited child, success in all endeavors) are promised to a person by meeting a rare white spider.
- yellow falls on someone , that's also not bad. Such an event means that a long-planned business will end successfully, even if before that it did not develop very successfully.
- A meeting with red spider (also called a “money spinner”) leads to an improved career, a salary increase or a bonus.
- If a green arachnid descends from the ceiling to the owner of an apartment, this portends financial well-being. However, here growth is most likely to occur not due to a person’s personal efforts, but by chance - thanks to a winning lottery ticket or receiving an inheritance from a deceased relative.
- An encounter with a black spider almost always promises trouble. However, if a person is not afraid of the unexpected appearance of a black arachnid, then the interpretation of the incident changes radically, that is, the person can prepare for pleasant events.
- The most dangerous thing for the owner of the home is an encounter with a cross spider (the arthropod has a dark color on top in the shape of a cross). If such a spider falls on a person, then the latter should prepare for difficult trials. This could be a sharp deterioration in financial condition, illness or even death.
Along with the color of the arachnid, its size also plays a big role - the larger the arthropod, the stronger the superstitions associated with it will operate.
Spider behavior
Popular belief says: depending on how the arthropod fell on a person - it fell sharply or smoothly sank with the help of a web, changes will occur in the life of the person on whose head the spider fell:
- The arachnid fell unexpectedly , which means that soon the owner of the house will also suddenly “face” an inheritance or a big win.
- Slowly descended with a cobweb - a person’s financial affairs will improve, but not soon, for this he will have to make some efforts.
- The spider went down to one of the family members, but immediately began to climb up the web. Such an event warns the owners of the house about the imminent unexpected visit of unpleasant guests.
- If an arthropod descends from the ceiling to a person, but seems to hesitate to descend completely, but sways above its head , it means that such an individual may soon face serious problems.
- A spider descending on the head of the sleeping owner of the home promises him receiving bad news. The fall of a black arachnid on a person’s head is interpreted in the same way, and it doesn’t matter when it happens.
