In several traditions, the spider symbolizes the Mother and the Divine Feminine. In Ancient Egypt, particularly, the spider represented the goddess of the Divine Mother, Neith. In some American Indian tribes, the spider symbolizes the creator of the world, and therefore, is held in high regard for its feminine energy. In this day and age, the spider still fascinates some, but also revolts others as well. The Divine design is a representation of all interpretations of the spider. Whether it’s being a symbol of a greater purpose or being judged by how it looks on the outside with adjectives such as scary, disgusting, and monstrous. The spider’s purpose, no matter which interpretation or adjective you believe is accurate or not, is to be greater than what it appears to be. The whole concept reminds me of the saying “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Some might be more than willing to agree with any negative connotations of the spider. Others might disagree and rebut that the spider is one of the most beautiful creatures in the world due to its ancient accolades. No matter what side of the spectrum you fall on, the most important message to take away from the spider and this design, is that no matter what you look like or how you’re perceived, you’re always going to be destined for something much greater. You may not see the bigger picture vividly, but as time progresses, the image will become clearer. When you’re destined for great things, those around you want to tarnish your name, ruin your image, and lead you away from your path. Don’t let them. Stay focused on what you want to achieve. If you truly believe that you’re meant to be more than what you are currently or what people have written you off as then, stand firm. Believing in yourself is one thing but believing in something bigger than yourself can take you a lot further. Let’s face it, we as humans are flawed, insecure, and overcritical of ourselves. Thus, when we believe in something bigger than us, habitually, we strive to be better just for the sake of what we believe in. I believe the old saying by Alexander Hamilton says, “if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.” So, stand for whatever higher power elicits you to be a better person. Stand for what you believe in! Stand by what you feel like you’re destined to be. Believe in yourself. BE THE SPIDER.
