Topic: Spider Magic
I have a new friend. It's name is Lucky Seven and it lives in the corner of my shower. It's a Daddy Longlegs that only has seven of them! As I watched it dipping one of it's legs into a water droplet and raising it to it's mouth to drink I started thinking about spider magic. Spider tales are all over in myths and legends of most cultures. Native Americans make Dreamcatchers that resemble a spiders web. Dreams are caught in the web. Good dreams find their way through it and are sent through the hole in the middle out to come true. The bad dreams are caught, become trapped and are burned up with the light of the day. Spider webs are a symbol of the creative forces in the universe. As the spider spins her web into existence from what appears to be nothing, so do we make our dreams reality by moving slowly and methodically toward our goals.
