What is the spiritual meaning of seeing a spider?

I am going to address this because I cannot find much information on the meaning of seeing a spider.

For some strange reason in the 40 years, I have been on this earth spiders have often represented people that are not to be trusted. For example, I wrote a letter to someone once (back in the day) and when I opened the draw to get an envelope a large spider (the size of my hand) appeared on the envelope. This letter was to a relative and some contents of that letter contents were later shared which caused family conflict. I employed someone once for a small business that I was running in my 30s and low and behold after answering an e-mail to this potential worker a small spider scattered across the floor. Yes, they turned out to be untrustworthy! What am I trying to say?

Spiders in my view are not what all the other websites denote such as energy, creativity, animal totems and so on. For me, they represent people that should not be trusted. I believe they are a spiritual sign of deceit and one should be careful when a spider is seen following contact with someone in life. I will not babble on but you get my drift. It is interesting now that I will address some questions about spiders. They do have an association with Saturn and in the occult, the spider is known as taking our energy from an astral sense.

Why would some people be scared of spiders and not others?

This is a question I have pondered on and I believe it comes back to being exposed to the astral plane. The astral plane will include a large array of creatures, and the spider eats away at our aura. Therefore, if you have visited this plane in a past life, you might be automatically frightened of the spider due to your spiritual development. 

An old wives tale into spiders can reveal that if you see one in the morning: it will be a busy day. To see one at noon then luck will be with you and finally to see one in the evening denotes that you will find love. We have a fear of spiders and they are associated with female energy and possibly someone who is patient in awaiting their prey. As I said, this could be someone who will deceive you. The spider in pagan terms is connected to our web of life and our power, as the spider is nocturnal we often associate this with darkness and hidden evil. 

What is the spiritual meaning of a white spider?

The spider represents a symbol of mystery, mystic power, and spiritual growth. You might not pay much attention of these creatures in waking life, but they’re a lot similar to us, the great humans. As the spiders weave their webs, we weave our lives. They’re trying to survive by finding a spot in a corner where they can start building their web. So are we. Everyone’s trying to survive in this world. Everyone fights a battle you know nothing about. That’s why we shouldn’t be judgmental.

The spider symbol in animal totem lore specifically reminds us how our choices construct our lives. Spiders are ancient symbols of infinity as well. According to ancient people, they can teach you how to manipulate your thinking in order to build a better life for yourself, and the people around you. They teach awareness, and survival intuition. Humans often ignore their intuition and inner instincts. The spider's web represents an amazing, flawless construction. It’s supposed to teach us that we’re capable of creating the perfect life for ourselves. But only if we follow our survival instincts and gut.

However, there’s a difference between a white spider and black spider. The white one has a different meaning than the black one. The white spider represents purity, absolute happiness, and rebirth. They say – never kill a white spider if you see one because it’s the omen of luck and happiness. Seeing a white spider in your home denotes the good health of all family members. However, to see a white spider in a dream symbolizes your imagination, positive energy that you need to invest at the right place to get positive results, and your artistic nature, and many talents. The white spider appears to remind you of your potential and to help you realize your strength.

For example, creativity. Both spiders and humans are very creative when it comes to shaping our destiny. Just like the black widow builds its web, we build our lives.

Those who react on time, using the right way to stop evil, will manage to avoid that danger. The dream also symbolizes female domination over males. You are either a female who dominates. Or a male who’s intimidated by female’s domination. The black widow is known for killing its mate after intercourse, meaning you might feel trapped or intoxicated by a relationship you like to end.
