Savagery, evil and the devil, weaving a web in order to capture the souls of sinners. The spider also serves to characterize the miser who “drinks blood” from the poor, like a spider from a fly. On the other hand, the spider is considered a good luck insect, and there is a sign that killing a spider promises trouble. Because the spider represents bloodthirstiness and tirelessness in weaving nets to catch fortune, it is believed to bring good luck and letters. According to Christian legend, a spider protected the baby Jesus when the family was hiding in Egypt, weaving a thick web around the entrance to the cave. Such stories were told almost verbatim about Moses and Mohammed hiding from their pursuers. In the Bible, the spider is a symbol of things that are perishable and futile. However, the Christian tradition has preserved examples of a different kind. Thus, the German nobleman Norbert (c. 1080–1134), who became a traveling Christian preacher, according to legend, discovered a poisonous spider in a cup when he was about to receive the sacrament. He drank the sacred wine and remained unharmed. All these legends seem to be a consequence of the universal reverence for the spider that is found throughout the world. The tribes of Tropical Africa deified the spider as the creator of the Universe. The names of the divine spiders - Anansi, Didobe, Zakolo - endowed with a sense of humor, dexterity and wisdom, were preserved not only in the myths of secret societies, but also in the fairy tales of African peoples. Among the Celts, the spider is a collector and holder of the threads of life, and among the Greeks and Egyptians it is a symbol of fate. A spider, weaving a skillful web, in India is a symbol of cosmic order, likened to Maya, who continuously weaves a web of illusions of the world of senses. There is a well-known image of Maya as a spider in the center of a woven web, which is closed by Ouroboros biting its tail. In the Nazca Desert, a fifty-meter image of a spider, made in one continuous line, has been preserved. The spider may have been a totem of one of the Indian tribes, and its image was used in the ritual dances of the Indians, begging for a good fate from the totem. The spider is closely associated with the symbol of weaving. And in this sense, he is associated with Penelope, weaving fabric in anticipation of Odysseus. The Lydian girl Arachne, famous for her needlework skills, challenged the goddess Minerva to a competition and wove a scarf depicting the love pleasures of the gods of Olympus. According to legend, frightened by the wrath of the goddess, Arachne tried to hang herself, but was saved by Minerva, who turned the girl into a spider. On the other hand, the spider is sometimes associated with parks that spin the thread of human life, and is therefore associated with the idea of ​​fate. In the mythology of many peoples, the spider is associated with the ideas of the center and the labyrinth. The spider is also associated with the spiral. The dark aspect of the spider among the Celts and Cyprus was a jellyfish with its tentacles, releasing clouds of dark liquid. In alchemy, the spider embodies the process of continuous transmutation that occurs throughout life, the regulation of connections and relationships with the biological, social and cosmic order of things. Throwing a “ray” out of himself, in a number of cases he is likened to the sun and is its symbol. The creative aspect of the spider, its weaving of threads from itself, is very important. Thus, in the Upanishads it acts as a symbol of self-development. As a destructive force, the spider means another cycle in the formation of the world or represents a kind of ambivalent image, reflecting the alternation of the forces of creation and destruction in space, like concentric circles in a web. As a force absorbed in the weaving of the deathtrap, it has a lunar aspect: the spider is connected to the moon by the constant transformations of its form, the network of moonlight cast on objects at night. As the creator of a veil that hides the true essence of phenomena, he embodies the element of fantasy. The spider is a symbol of devouring time, connecting the transitory with the eternal. It contains the idea of ​​the wheel of life, the center of which is the potential death itself. Behind these ideas is the Buddhist understanding of life as suffering, as well as elements of the Gnostic vision of a world created from evil and driven by good motives. According to signs, a spider portends a good or bad fate, depending on the color - black or white. A spider in the house is considered a good omen, a sign of prosperity and happiness. In England they believe that if a spider descends or falls on a person from the roof, he will soon receive an inheritance. The little red spider is called the “money weaver” in English because it is believed to be able to bring money when carried in your pocket. Spiders appear in many ancient medicinal recipes. For example, those suffering from fever and jaundice swallowed live spiders rolled in butter. In a number of English counties, a spider was held over a child with whooping cough, repeating the spell: “Hey, spider, go and die, take the whooping cough with you.” Source: Foley J.

There is an opinion that spiders are associated with something unpleasant, slippery, vile and scary, in a word - creepy and ominous insects. However, despite the negativity, there are also well-known positive traits and symbols that characterize this seemingly unpleasant creature. A spider tattoo, a photo of which can be seen on the Internet, can be made in different styles, from cartoon to realistic and 3-D, and each of them will look interesting in its own way. Spiders are very common and diverse animals; they can be peaceful and defenseless, or they can kill people with their deadly bites. That’s why the meaning of spider tattoos is so rich and varied.

3D spider tattoo on arm

As you know, there are a great many places for tattoos, but a spider will look truly impressive:

• On the arm: on the shoulder, and a tattoo on the back of the arm will look especially stylish
• On the shoulder blade: especially if it is made in a realistic style or 3-D;
• On the lower back: also in a realistic style, to enhance the effect.

General meaning of the image of a spider

The spider tattoo, the meaning of which varies depending on the culture and context, still has a general interpretation. In general, the meaning of a spider tattoo illustrates thoroughness and thoroughness, accuracy and secrecy, modesty and practicality, magic, creativity and a penchant for creativity, and the presence of abilities. Sometimes this same symbol is perceived as a symbol of development, movement forward, love of life and faith in luck.

Mystical meaning of the symbol

Since the spider has eight legs, it can represent a symbol of infinity, harmony and the cyclical nature of life. Often in some cultures, ancient people associated its eight legs with the eight cardinal directions and extolled the spider as the ruler of the world and even of human destinies. It was believed that he weaves a web of life, playing with people like dolls and weaving into their lives what he pleases. If a spider is depicted descending on a web, it can be considered a symbol of good luck and wealth. According to one of the biblical stories, spiders saved the life of little Jesus Christ, so in Christianity the attitude towards these animals from time immemorial has been more positive. In Ancient Rome, the spider was considered a symbol of insight and good fate, and was a talisman of joy and prosperity.

Spider symbol in mythology

One of the Greek myths tells about the beautiful maiden Arachne, who was so good at weaving that Aphrodite herself envied her. By the will of the enraged goddess, Arachne committed suicide, but after repentance, Aphrodite took pity on the girl and resurrected her in the form of a spider, giving her the opportunity to weave her fabrics forever. The spider is a symbol of balance, fertility and harmony, often depicted as an old sage teacher. It is not uncommon in mythology to find motifs of the spider’s cunning, which are sometimes intertwined with its cruelty and bloodthirstiness.

The negative meaning of the image of a spider comes from the origins of magic, in particular black and white magic: it is there that amulets from spider symbols are often used. The images of were-spiders and sorcerer spiders are also known, which makes them one of the favorite symbols of gothic fans. Spider tattoos, photos of which can be found on the Internet, most often have a gothic and rather gloomy, ominous image.

The symbolism of spiders and webs in different cultures of the world

In Europe, spiders were often considered a symbol of fear and hatred; in the Middle Ages, they became one of the ways of spreading plague, along with rats and other small rodents, so the attitude towards them was exclusively negative.

And the image of the web itself also carries a significant semantic load. For example, in many myths it acts as a saving guiding thread, or thread of human life. In India, the web is a symbol called "maya", which translates as "illusion". This symbol is associated with the fatality and fragility of human existence.

In Egypt, the web also symbolized the intertwining of fate, and in Hinduism and Buddhism - the cosmic order. Among some tribes of Oceania, the spider was revered as the creator of the universe; the aborigines of Australia also worshiped the spider as a hero and a mystical animal that brings well-being. And the Japanese believed that spider women lured travelers into traps, entwined them with their bonds, killed them and drank their blood, so in this country spiders were associated exclusively with scary fairy tales and vampirism.

Prison symbolism of a spider tattoo

In the prison world, spider tattoos are worn by racists and thieves. A spider on a web is often found among drug addicts, without a web - among pickpockets. Also, prisoners often tattooed themselves with cobwebs, a circle of cobwebs for each year they spent in the zone.

I have a small tattoo of a little cartoon spider - it's so small that it's almost invisible. I just like this animal, I don’t know why everyone is afraid of him? I heard somewhere that in many cultures it is considered a good symbol, so it seems that I belong to these cultures))

Spider and green web on hand

I really love spiders and the Harry Potter movie. If you remember, Ron Weasley was very afraid of spiders, and in one part of the film, the friends went into the forest and met a whole horde of giant spiders, which were very harmless and even friendly. I decided to get a spider tattoo because I like them. For me they are associated with something unusual, otherworldly and mystical. I have a spider web tattoo on my elbow, and there is a spider sitting on the web. I still want to somehow change the tattoo a little and finish drawing the fly that got into his net, as a symbol of the danger and unpredictability of life.

Spider thread

Spider's thread is the name of a fairly popular fortune telling of the 19th century. It is known under the names "Snake", "Rainbow". This fortune telling requires a deck of 36 cards.

If, after discarding the outermost cards, there are again a pair of cards of the same value or suit at the ends, then they are also discarded. This continues until there are cards of different values ​​and suits at the ends of the laid out row. It is possible that after laying out the cards, not a single card can be removed, no problem, therefore all the cards in the deck will participate in fortune telling. In the event that all the cards are removed the first time, which is very unlikely, then you can lay out the cards a second time. Using the remaining cards, the past is explained in accordance with the meanings of the suits and each card in the interpreter given below.

Second layout (present). Then all the cards, except those that were discarded, are collected, carefully shuffled and laid out in the same way a second time. Again, the outermost cards at the ends of the row are discarded.

If such discarding of cards led to the removal of all cards, then fate does not like your knowledge. In this case, you need to stop fortune telling. If there are cards for interpretation, then the present is explained using them. Third layout (future).

The remaining cards are collected again, carefully shuffled and laid out again in the same way. By removing the outermost cards that match the suit or value, the future is assessed. When removing all the cards in the third layout, we should conclude that the future should not be known to us today. In this case, fortune telling should be stopped. Additional layout.

If there are cards left after the third layout, then arrange them in a horizontal row into 5 piles. There may be one card in a pile, if there are few cards left, or there may not be enough cards for one or another pile, or there may be several (up to seven) cards in a pile. When forming a stack, a row of five cards is first laid out, the next 5 cards are placed on it, and so on until the cards run out. Let’s say there are a lot of cards left: the first pile will be “for me”, the second pile will be “for her (for him)”, the third pile will be “for relatives”, the fourth pile will be “for friends”, the fifth will be “for enemies”. Take the first pile in your hands, spread it apart and interpret the dropped cards in accordance with the meanings of the cards. Having finished explaining the first stack, similarly interpret the remaining stacks according to the interpreter.

If the number of points on a card is odd, then the top of the card is determined by the unpaired sign of the suit.

The spider aspect is interesting because it can have both negative and positive meanings.

The Cosmic Spider (Great Spinner) is the Creator who spins the thread of his own life from his own substance, attaches to himself through the umbilical cord all people and weaves them into the pattern of the world. The spider in the center of the web symbolizes the center of the world; The sun is surrounded by rays, personifying the cycles of life and spinning the web of time.

In Christian thinking, the spider is the “evil” opposite of the “good” bee and in most cases serves to depict sinful thoughts that will suck the blood out of a person. But among the people, the spider is also considered a soul animal. It is believed that the soul of a dreamer, in the form of a spider, can leave the body through the open mouth of the sleeper and then return again (which was also told about lizards).

In magic, according to the fathers, spiders, together with other elements, were used to compose potions. According to medieval beliefs, witches, having caught a large number of spiders, could control storms and storms.

According to legend, in the Middle Ages, a terrible disaster befell the Italian city of Taranto - tarantulas, or wolf spiders, simply exterminated the townspeople and residents of the city's environs. It was believed that the bite of this spider causes a terrible disease - tarantism, which quickly leads to madness. You can recover from madness only by dancing a fast, fast dance - the tarantella. Soon this dance became an integral part of weddings in southern Italy.
