Spider

What it can mean

Spiders often symbolize creativity, patience and the webs we weave — our plans and connections. Fear of spiders can mirror feeling caught in a situation, or anxious about something small that feels big. In some traditions, the spider is a symbol of skill and good luck.

A question to sit with

Are you weaving something — or do you feel caught in someone else's web?
