Spider Spider's medicine includes: weaving and destiny. "Spider, weaver of the web, show to me the connection between all things. Open me to the universal consciousness." Grandmother spider was the weaver of the cosmic web which is the very fabric of the universe. Spider has a great and very important lesson for us. She teaches that a delicate web connects everything in the universe, when we ourselves have a weakness, the entire web is that much weaker, and thus everything we do affects existence as a whole. When we can be stronger and more honorable, we make everything else stronger and more honorable. Spider represents two sides of the Goddess, the creator and the destroyer. A spider person tends to draw people into their "web". Those who become close to spider are engrossed, enchanted, captivated.. ravelled in spider's beautiful enigma. People love spider and find her hard to turn away from, even when she wants them to be gone. She fascinates them so much that they willingly tangle themselves in her web in hopes of understanding her better. But the person who really gains spider's affection is the one who can escape! Rabbit Rabbit medicine includes: humility, fear, and guile. "Rabbit, teach me to face my fears. Lend me your medicine to free my mind Of boundaries." Rabbit's lesson is to not let fearful thoughts get the best of us. When we let a fear take our mind over, soon that fear will menifest itself in reality. Rabbit people sometimes invite the thing they fear--disaster, tragedy, sickness--so they can overcome the fear by finally facing it. Sometimes rabbit comes to us to tell us that when things seem to be going nowhere, simply wait for life to get back in to motion. Reevaluate how you are going about things to eliminate the fears and obstacles that may cause life to be slow and then let life flow again. |
