The Magick of Spiders
Spiders, with their intricate webs and enigmatic presence, have long been associated with magic and mystery in many cultures. From the ancient Greeks, who believed that spiders were the messengers of the goddess Athena, to the Native Americans, who saw spiders as symbols of creation and harmony, these eight-legged creatures have captured the imagination of humans for centuries. Here are five magical characteristics of spiders that every modern witch should know:
Symbol of creativity and manifestation: Spiders are masters of weaving intricate webs, which can serve as a symbol of creativity and manifestation. By harnessing the energy of the spider, a witch can tap into their own creative power and bring their desires into reality.
