All that She may Weave


There is a Goddess that spans cultures and continents. Here on Turtle Island (the Americas) we call her by the name Spider Woman or Grandmother Spider, in ancient Mesopotamia she was called Uttu, and the ancient Greeks called her by Arachne. The earliest recorded spider goddess was the ancient Egyptian Neith. No matter the name that we associate with her, she is known as a spider goddess who weaves the mysteries of creation and destiny.
She brings us to the garden of the Spider, where we quest to truly know ourselves. She is the bringer of fears in the form of challenges, urging us to move through. Dare to learn, dare to grow, dare to heal, for the great web awaits us as we awaken to the knowing that we, like spider, are cocreater of the destiny's yet to be dreamt.
When Grandmother Spider appears to you, know that the web is at your fingertips. That she presents the means to awaken to the great web, if you are ready to face your fears and to quest past all of your programming, all of your indoctrination, past your lens of perception. For it is with Grandmother Spider that we are able to access the great mysteries of life.
In a dream I was shown the great woven cloth of Neith, a bolt of fabric that folded upon itself. She brought my gaze to a small thread that emerged from a piece of the cloth. She explained that this thread represented all of the accumulated knowledge that all of human kind has accessed from the great web. I took that in for a moment, this tiny tip of a thread that slightly emerged from this great bolt of fabric... In all of our knowledge and understanding, there was still so much more out there that we couldn't even begin to know.
"Dare to surrender, dare to see, dare to awaken to the web" she whispers, "dare to awaken to your true self".
