According to the superstition, even residents of the upper floors of a modern multi-story building, not to mention the owners of old buildings, can meet a spider climbing down a web or crawling up a wall. Popular rumor has endowed arthropods with the ability to predict the future, and even “weave the fate” of a person. Most often, the appearance of these ubiquitous creatures in the house portends prosperity, success and an increase in the well-being of the residents, but there are also bad spider omens that promise minor and major troubles.
What does he look like?
To interpret the sign, both the color and size of the spider are important:
- a large one, intently weaving a web somewhere in a corner - to financial profit;
- small, nimble, long-legged - to a whole scattering of everyday surprises, pleasant and not so pleasant;
- gray - to ordinary existence, not overshadowed by sad surprises;
- a black spider in front of the face - to financial losses or illness;
- red or reddish - to troubles in different areas of life;
- white - for an interesting date, a romantic meeting.
On the street
In the Slavic pagan tradition, the spider (pavuk, mizgir) is a mystical animal that weaves incredible traps for hordes of harmful insects. Modern ideas about arachnids differ from Old Slavic ones. The ancestors treated them with more respect than we do, and not in vain.
Most often, spiders are found on the street. They curb the growth of insect populations, many of which carry diseases.
Signs about meeting spiders on the street:
- to see a spider killing a fly - soon your enemies will get rid of you;
- accidentally breaking the web - minor troubles in the family are possible;
- fell on your shoulder - to an improvement in your financial situation, success in the professional sphere;
- a cobweb clings to the sleeve - to pleasant surprises or profit;
- the spider has fallen from the web - troublesome things will appear.
Meeting a white or gray spider in the morning is a great omen. On this day, nothing will darken your mood. Things will work out and will soon bear fruit.
Seeing spiders in the evening is a bad omen, indicating possible minor troubles at work. Try not to take initiative tomorrow, because if you fail, you will be blamed.
Where exactly does the spider descend?
Arthropods can be found in the most unexpected places. The interpretation of the sign will depend on where exactly this creature caught the person’s eye.
Spider climbs down the wall
In any case, the movement of the spider along the wall of the home predicts problems. If the baby sneaks up towards the ceiling, then failures are expected in the domestic or financial sphere. Goes down - you should beware of conflicts at work, quarrels with relatives or friends. The sign strongly recommends being careful in business, not throwing around promises, and refraining from harsh judgments.
Came down from the ceiling of the house via a spider's web
Such a “messenger” wants to report that in the near future difficult times will come for the family - in material terms. Sadly. And yet there is no need to scare or kill the baby, he only conveys the message of fate. It's better to keep an eye on him for a while. The spider can change his mind and cheerfully climb up his web back to the top. This means that with some effort you will be able to avoid financial difficulties. And certainly, they will not be catastrophic for the family.
Goes downstairs at work
Spider warns that now you shouldn’t start a conversation about a promotion or a bonus - your bosses may react negatively. It is more likely that your salary will be cut than it will be increased. It is best to concentrate on the quality performance of your duties.
Goes downstairs in the car
This situation does not bode well. A spider in a car usually acts as a good messenger. You can relax and watch exactly where he plans to dive:
- falls on the mirror - to communicate with old friends;
- “landing” on clothes - promises unexpected profit;
- fell in love with your shoes - for a pleasant journey, an easy road;
- suddenly falls on your hair - promises a romantic adventure.
You should be wary if the spider has chosen for landing a specific item brought into the salon from outside - a purse, a bag, a folder with documents. “The Letter Bearer” warns that an inattentive owner may suddenly part with the specified item - lose it or damage it.
Why is it creeping up?
If a spider crawls up the wall, it portends an increase in the well-being of everyone living in the house, including guests. Expressed in income growth, increased profits, improved living standards. If you see such an omen while visiting, inform the hosts about the upcoming improvement in their lives.
The spider moves up the web - promises good news. Moreover, by the color of the arthropod, you can determine in which area good changes are expected:
- The white spider always reports good luck on the “love front”.
- Gray – associated with career and income.
- Red - portends cash receipts. It is popularly called “money spinner”.
- Black - announces the arrival of relatives.
- Brown or sand - promises that your enemies will “have trouble.”
If a spider came down from the ceiling in front of your face - signs by time
For many people, finding a spider hanging from a web in front of their face is not a pleasant experience. But, if you do not take into account arachnophobia, such a sight does not always bode well. It is important what time of day the meeting took place.
- A spider descends on its web in the morning - promises a great day in every sense. Your plans will come true, your work will “burn in your hands,” purchases will be profitable, and negotiations will be successful. Having received such a message from fate, you can safely begin to implement your long-standing plans.
- The same meeting during the day, from the point of view of popular wisdom, remains uninformative - it does not guarantee either trouble or any kind of global joy.
- In the evening, a spider means quick changes. They are able to touch different areas. A lonely person can meet his future soul mate, an unemployed person can find his dream job, and someone who is in a quarrel with loved ones can make peace with them.
- At night everything happens exactly the opposite. A spider hanging in front of a person's face indicates numerous troubles and conflicts. It will take time and effort to sort out a bunch of unexpected problems.
How to avoid the consequences predicted in signs
You shouldn’t take everything too seriously - after all, we are no longer ancient people to be so keen on spiritualism and everyday magic. Of course, there is something mystical about these mysterious arthropods, but you shouldn’t think that a predator spotted in a corner can cause serious trouble in your life. Sometimes a crawling spider is just a spider.
Don’t stress yourself out - if you constantly think about bad things, they will happen, because a negative attitude is harmful to a person, regardless of whether he saw a spider descending from the ceiling or not.
Relying on positive signs and abandoning your aspirations for success and prosperity, hoping for arthropods, is a bad idea. A sign is just a sign that a person is doing everything right. For example, diligence, hard work, a lively mind and the ability to build relationships with people lead to wealth. It is not surprising that a person with these qualities every now and then notices positive signs and their results.
Take an example from such people - be positive and then you will have a chance to save yourself from even the worst signs of fate.
Where does a spider go on its web?
A lot of interpretation depends on the “landing place” of the spider: it can choose some piece of furniture as its target or dive straight at you. Next, we analyze and draw conclusions.
The worst thing is if the spider is red or black. This means that you have to wait for health problems or financial collapse. If it was light, then everything can be managed by the arrival of unexpected guests.
Sign: if a spider descends on a person
- Aims at the shoulder or any other part of the body covered by clothes - promises quick shopping, purchasing new clothes.
- If it falls on your bare hand, it promises financial wealth in the near future, which will allow you to fulfill your cherished dream.
- Falls on the head - to surprises. Most likely, they will turn out to be pleasant, but here you need to look at what time of day the meeting took place.
- It hits the face - hints at a rich feast, fun, long-awaited rest. Start preparing for the arrival of relatives or packing your bags for a vacation.
- He chose the ear for landing - he wants to warn against excessive gullibility.
Letter Carrier lands on furniture
- If a spider fell in the hallway on a shoe rack, door frame or threshold, it warned of impending troubles.
- A spider descended from the ceiling onto the bed - news. The color of the “visitor” will tell you what they will be like. If an eight-legged weaver hangs on a web above the marital bed, you should be wary of betrayal.
- A spider lands on the table - a sign that a person has a secret, but quite active enemy. You should take a closer look at your surroundings, evaluate the sincerity of people who want to seem like real friends.
What does a spider going down mean?
If the spider hurries towards the floor along the wall, then, alas, expect money to be wasted. Or some kind of financial failure. It could be a simple late payment, loss of bonus, pickpocketing, or simply losing your wallet. Here the size of the messenger matters - the larger it is, the more serious the trouble will be.
Sometimes, when expenses are already planned, it may seem that the sign is simply stating a fact, and there is nothing to be afraid of. But in reality it is not like that. A spider descending on a web during the preparation of some kind of purchase signals the threat of making a mistake with the situation. You can run into a scam, a defect, a bad choice, failure, or overpayment. It's better to postpone the purchase.
In general, the sign says, a spider always crawls down the wall to warn about caution with money and the possibility of unpleasant news. The interpretation changes only in one case - the spider thought and headed back up. Then we are talking only about a temporary setback; things will end well with only minor losses.
Spider in a house or apartment
Spiders enter the house from the street both in winter and summer. They are carried through windows with the wind or go down ventilation shafts. They can live in any room. Most often they weave their web in the corners. It is in these places that all the negative energy that has accumulated in the house accumulates. Spiders “eat” it, thereby freeing the home from bad influences.
Many folk superstitions about spiders are related to the place in the apartment where they are found:
- If a spider lives in the bathroom, the sign says: expect stagnation in business, a daily routine that will interfere with the implementation of long-term plans. To neutralize the omen, you need to reconsider your priorities and radically change something in your life. If a spider has settled in the sink or toilet, it means that soon there will be a lot of small things, fuss, and haste that will not bring the desired results. Under no circumstances should he be killed in a bathtub or drowned in water, this is unfortunate. It is best to throw it away carefully with a broom or twig.
- In the bedroom, especially above the marital bed, a spider that appears promises a cooling of feelings between husband and wife. If a spider has woven a web under the bed, the person sleeping on it will soon get sick. If an uninvited guest crawls on your pillow or bed, expect trouble.
- The appearance of a spider in a children's room means that your child is reliably protected from harm and trouble. Under no circumstances should you remove the spider from there. Make sure it doesn't fall into the crib, fall on the baby's head and scare him.
- In the kitchen - it means that the residents of the house lack love, warmth, intimacy, their relationship has gone wrong. If a spider unexpectedly falls on the table during dinner, it warns that the family has a secret enemy or ill-wisher who is weaving intrigues. When an animal runs around the table, a change of housing will soon occur. If you see a spider in a mug, cup or glass, you will receive unexpected news.
- On the door frame is a good omen and portends big profits. If an animal falls on the threshold, someone in the house will get sick or die. You need to quickly sweep it out into the street with a broom so that the unkind prediction does not come true.
In ancient times, spiders were considered brownie dogs. The more there are, the stronger the protection and guardianship of this ancient guardian of the human home. The invasion of eight-legged weavers indicates that there is a good and warm atmosphere in the house, peace and mutual understanding reign. They bring with them success, luck and material well-being. But it’s worth taking a closer look to see if these animals have started due to unsanitary conditions, and whether it’s time to start cleaning and remove the cobwebs from the walls.
