I took out a book I've had for some time that was sitting on a shelf. It's an encyclopedia of magical creatures. I looked up spider and there's some mythical stories attached to it so I thought I'd share a bit of it.
The spider is one of the great creating creatures, feared and respected the world over. As the weaving goddess of fate, she makes the web of all life, spinning the thread from her own abdomen, stretching through time and space.
In both Greek and Norse myth, the spider is associated with the weavers of fate, the Moirae and the Norns. In Africa and the Caribbean, the spider is associated with Anansi the Trickster.
