Totem Meaning of Spider

I had a spider run across my keyboard the other day and I immediately looked up the meaning.

Just now a tiny black one was on my hand. So here it is. I send my condolences to linsdomain. That was the best site and it is gone.

The spider is a remarkable figure of feminine energy and creativity in the spirit animal kingdom. Spiders are characterized by the skilled weaving of intricate webs and patience in awaiting their prey. By affinity with the spider spirit animal, you may have qualities of high receptivity and creativity. Having the spider as a power animal or totem helps you tune into life’s ebbs and flows and ingeniously weave every step of your destiny. This is from spiritanimal.info

 

Spider

Well, that’s gotta be significant. I got up and walked into the kitchen to make my double espresso to go with my smoke on the balcony. There was a black spider hanging in my way. I couldn’t get past it to the coffee pot. I just came from the kitchen letting Sophie in and out and so it appeared in that short bit of time. Also, the location. If I had not seen it, it would’ve hit me in the face as I walked. It was very precisely located.

I’m going to look up the meaning of spider. I went to my most trusted source, Linsdomain.

The most striking thing is that it spoke to the thought I was having before I decided to go for a smoke.

“A spider totem teaches you balance —
between past and future, physical and spirit, male and female.
She is strength and gentleness combined.
She awakens creative sensibilities
and reminds you that the past is always interwoven with the future.
Spiders are the keepers of the primordial alphabet
and can teach you how to write creatively.
Her body is shaped like the number 8 and she has 8 legs,
which is symbol of infinite possibilities of creation.
Her 8 legs represent the 4 winds of change and the 4 directions of the medicine wheel.
Spider’s message is that you are an infinite being who will continue
to weave patterns of life and living throughout time.
Do not fail to see the eternal plan of creation.
Those who weave magic with the written word usually have this totem.” Linsdomain

The spider was gone when I returned to the kitchen. Just a wisp of a web. Still cool though.
