Talk2theAnimals Animal of the Week

by Janet on April 12, 2010

Spider is our teacher and guide this week.  She helps us with intuition and the weaving of our fates, and helps us become aware of our creative energies.

On a personal note, I do have to admit that ever since reading Charlotte’s Web when I was a child, I have been partial to spiders, and to this day I happily share my house with them.

Spider is the master weaver, showing us how to create our dreams and plans.  As we are building our plans, Spider reminds us to go in a straight-forward manner, not to take the roundabout way.  This is a time to use our creative energies, even in areas where we may fear we won’t be successful.

Even though Spider has eight eyes, she does not see very well; however, the tiny hairs on her legs are extremely sensitive to the smallest movement.  This reminds us to trust what we feel, not necessarily what we see.

In Native American culture, such as the Pueblo and Navajo/Dineh, Grandmother Spider created the world.  This not only reminds us of our own innate powers of creation and creativity, but also reminds us to go back to the ancient wisdom, our own inner knowing.

Questions to ask when Spider appears:

  • Are we taking advantage of opportunities as they arise?
  • Is it time to add more creativity to life?
  • Are we being too indirect in our communications?

Thank you, Spider, for sharing your wisdom and for being willing to guide us.  For this we are grateful.

Harmony,

Janet Roper

Spider illustrates creativity, intuition and the weavings of fate.  Without any preamble, Spider began:
