Spider webs

I don’t get bothered by spiders normally. They neither scare me (unless huge) nor please me. I am pretty indifferent. But recently I have seen a lot of them, showing up near me constantly.

Yesterday my friend mentioned to me she was visiting this local framer that I have been putting off visiting for 2 years now. I was always too afraid to visit as he supposedly lived down this ally way at the back of his house and at the time I was depressed and scared to go with a baby. Irrational, I know but that is depression for you. So I jumped at the opportunity to go with her. It was exactly as described but not scary at all. My friend went in first while I stayed outside to look after her baby and my little boy. The alleyway was so narrow and full of plants and he started noticing all these spiders around us, many above ours heads. It was a miracle we didn’t mop them up with our heads. So we watched them for a while then it was my turn to go in to talk to the framer.

I wanted advice on how to frame my punch needle work which I brought with me. Aside from selling punch needles and kits I have wanted to create and sell my own work but the framing bit always put me off. I had read somewhere it would cost between £300-£400 per piece. My work is intricate and takes hours so it always seemed unfeasible. Yesterday I was told it would cost less than £100!!!! What? I was so elated when I left. On the way home I told my friend about the spiders and she stopped in her tracks all freaked out. She hates spiders and is very scared of them. Anyway we continued on and got on with the rest of the afternoon.

At the end of the day, I was lying in my bed reading Rise sister Rise which is a book about the return of the mother and the rising of the feminine. I was laying down on my left side with my left eye touching the pillow near the edge. Suddenly this small spider walks up the side of the pillow practically into my eyeball.

This has never happened to me and on top of the spider day I already experienced and seeing a lot of them in general I got curious about the symbolism of spiders. Well I was quite shocked when I read this:

“The spider symbolizes creation and beauty. In several traditions, the spiders symbolizes the Mother and the Divine Feminine. ... Obviously, spiders use extreme patience in order to weave their webs, so the spider can teach you to increase your awareness and focus in life.”

I am soooo guided and soooo on the right track, aren’t I? Creation and beauty (my punch needle pieces) and then the mother and divine feminine (reading the book at the time of the spider walking into my eyeball basically saying, are you seeing this?! Are you paying attention?). We are all exactly where we are meant to be ✨🙏🏻🕷

Ps: Come to think of it I have always been fascinated by the webs, so could a spider be my spirit animal?
