Throughout time, the spider has been associated with many myths and superstitions. In mythology worldwide, the spider is prominently featured. Throughout Africa, Spider is either a trickster or a great god. Japanese believe that Spider Woman can ensnare careless travelers. In contrast, the Pueblo Nations of America believe that Spider Woman created the Universe. The Greeks and Norse looked upon Spiders as the Weavers of people’s fates and connecting the Past with the Future.
Christians see Spider Webs as traps. Like Flies, people become ensnared by vain works and become stuck fast in the webs. Spiders represent human fragility and the enticement of evil. However in Germany, Spider Webs are a part of Christmas tree decorations. According to folklore, Spider realized what glorious day was Christ’s birth. So She spun silver and gold webs on trees to show her faith and to glorify the Birth of the Lord. Many superstitions instruct people to never kill a Spider found in a house. The “house” spider is there to bring good luck and good fortune to the inhabitants.
All spiders are venomous. In New Jersey, we are cautioned about only one spider. The Black Widow. This small black spider has a red hourglass shape on its underbelly. Its venom is considered to be 15x more potent than that of a rattle snake. Bites to humans are extremely rare, as it is difficult for a bite to penetrate the skin.
"If you wish to live and thrive, Let a spider run alive. "
