According to mythology, Spider Woman spun two silver strands, one connecting east to west, the other north to south. This connected the four corners of the earth, with Spider Woman as the centre. (The strands created the Road of Life in the Hopi tradition, which has as its symbol the equal-armed cross).

In her aspect as Creator and Mother, Spider Woman affirms that womenare essential and central to the life process. She reminds us that people of all races were created from the same source, with equal rights and responsibilities. She created her own children, twin daughters and twin sons, who brought forth the sun, moon and stars. She created all vegetation, birds, animals and red, black, yellow and white people.

As a sustainer, Spider Woman is always urging us to reconnect to our own spiritual source of higher power. She tells us that our natural role is to live in peace and harmony, with reverence toward the earth and its beings. She imparts her sacred wisdom to people as they sleep, connecting them to her spiritual wisdom through a filament spun from her body and attached to her crown.

She empowers women to keep the dream of life alive and encourages them to continue weaving their dreams, even in times of despair and unknowing.
 

If Spider Woman is speaking to you today, take the time to visualise your dream of life. Purify your intentions and sacred space by smudging yourself with Sage and Cedar.

Gather 8 lengths of dried sage, cedar and/or sweetgrass and tie securely with strands of red, yellow, black and white twine. Smudge sticks should be between 3 to 5cm in diameter at widest point. Tie off loose ends of twine. Light until smudge stick thoroughly ignites. When the flame burns out, purify yourself and your space with the fragrant smoke. Mediate with a mantra or affirmation knowing that Spider Woman is helping you manifest your life dream.

Love and delight
