🕷️ Spider Medicine: Weaving Sovereignty Into My Skin

I’ve never fully made peace with spiders.

I respect them. I fear them a little. And yet — they keep turning up when my life is about to shift.

Not just once. Not just random. They appear like clockwork before I reclaim another part of myself.

There was the time I sat with a house spider — huge, unmoving — for over an hour. I whispered to it softly, letting it know I was afraid, but trying. Neither of us moved. It didn’t lunge. I didn’t run. We just… existed, suspended in the same room, both unsure of the next step. Eventually, I found the courage to scoop it up and carry it outside. Gently. Slowly. Respectfully.

Okay… full disclosure?

Internally I was hyperventilating.

Wide-eyed.

Sweating.

Squealing like a banshee on mute.

Clutching a paper and cup combo like it was sacred weaponry.

And giving myself an entire TED Talk about how everything has a soul and “I am a compassionate woman who doesn’t kill things, even when they have too many legs.”

That spider got more grace and ceremony than I’ve given most birthdays.

🕸️ A Bush Full of Webs

Just before I opened my Reiki shop — a chapter of creative sovereignty — I walked past a bush glinting in the sun, covered in delicate, individual spiderwebs. Each web had its own tiny guardian. None of them copied the other. None of them peeked sideways to compare designs.

It was the clearest download I’ve ever received about what sovereignty looks like.

We weave what’s true.

We don’t rush.

We sit with our knowing and create because it’s in our nature — not because someone else is watching.

Spiders speak in quantum theory.

Not in words, but in presence.

They remind me of the subtle mechanics of the universe — vibration, tension, collapse, creation. A spider’s web isn’t just a trap. It’s a field. A sensor. A sacred grid of potential. One strand trembles, and the entire story shifts.

That’s how I feel when my intuition flutters — when I sense the change before it arrives. Spiders know this. They’ve known it long before we studied quantum fields. They’ve been showing us the way all along.

🛏️ Sacred Bedside Guests (Uninvited, but Apparently Enlightened)

And then there’s the face-running.

Yes — twice now, in two separate house moves, a spider has run across my actual face.

On the first night. In bed. In the dark.

While I was just trying to exist peacefully in my new chapter. TWICE.

And before you think I handled that with grace: I did not.

There was squealing. There was shuddering. There may have been an out-of-body experience where I briefly became pure light.

But — and this is important — I didn’t kill them.

I panicked gently. Then removed it with the kind of care you’d reserve for a magical relic or a bomb on a timer.

Oh — and let’s not forget the time a huge house spider decided to set up camp on my bedside table.

Right next to my crystals and salt lamp.

Just… chilling. Inches from my pillow.

So while I was trying to spiritually recharge and drift into a peaceful sleep, this eight-legged oracle was clearly hosting its own moon circle.

Because why not share sacred space with something that looks like it walked out of a Lord of the Rings battle scene?

I’m not pretending I love them now.

There’s still a size limit to my tolerance.

But I’m no longer repulsed. I’m curious. I see the teaching. I’ve let a small one rest on my arm while I had my nails done. I’ve watched them appear near doorways and windows, as if reminding me — “You’re about to cross into something new. Sit with it. Don’t flinch.”

Spider medicine is about trusting your own web.

Knowing that stillness has its own power.

And recognizing that fear doesn’t always mean “danger” — sometimes, it just means you’re standing at the edge of growth.

✨ Final Threads

So if you’re reading this and spiders make your skin crawl — I get it.

But next time one shows up, don’t swat it away. Ask what it’s trying to say.

Because maybe… just maybe…

You’re on the cusp of weaving something new.

And if the Universe is listening:

I have received the spider codes.

If you’d like to start sending puppies or kittens as messengers going forward… I’m spiritually available. 🐾🕷️✨
