A perfect symbol of dualism in physical reality, spiders show us the power of creativity and manifestation balanced by destruction. Yes, they are scary and creepy and one’s first instinct is to smash them at sight. However, we also have Spiderman to tell us how great the spider’s powers are. In this blog, we discuss the spiritual meaning and symbolism of spiders.

Spiritual Meaning of Spiders
Spiders spiritually represent personal power, illusion and energetic exchanges such as communication and relationships. Associated with the Root and Solar Plexus Chakras, a spider’s presence can trigger personal power and survival energy in us. Spiders are master weavers between our spiritual and material lives, creating intricate and beautiful webs with grace and ease.

They show us the importance of birth, growth, death and rebirth, spinning the web of evolution and spiritual transformation in the process.

Spiders show us the importance and beauty of creativity, while also showing us the importance of killing, destroying or clearing out old webs to create new ones. This can be closely associated with how obsessed people are with their old creations. Whether it is a home decor project, a piece of writing, a voice over the sample, a song they sang, a movie they made, a quilt they stitched or a lesson they taught.

Yes, it was amazing and beautiful when it happened, but we need to move on from it for further growth to happen. Sticking to old creations provides an unnecessary safety net to people, it is their comfortable place that gives them a false sense of pride and also hinders further growth. As souls, we can never afford to stop learning especially when there is so much more to know and understand. This is why it is important to destroy the old weaves and create new ones.

Master TimeKeepers
Spiders are also the master timekeepers in the spirit realm that tie the past and future into beautiful knots to help us manifest in the present moment. They also alert us when we are stuck in the past or are jumping forward in the future. They teach us to reflect upon our past spiritual lessons so we can plan further for the future. Just like a spider waits patiently in its web when we weave together the energies of the past and the present, we can capture opportunities that come our way seamlessly and make the most of them.

Master Manifestors
Spiders are master manifestors and rule over the energy of the Solar Plexus Chakra. Related to self-expression, personal power, manifestation, confidence and self capability, the solar plexus helps us achieve success in both the spiritual world and the manifest reality.

Spider Phobia Spiritual Meaning
The fear of spiders can mean lack of personal power, strength and capability to find one’s way in this world. If you give it a thought, spiders are so much tinier compared to us yet an encounter with them can lead to a feeling of entering into battle. A fear of spiders is a strong signal to begin working on one’s Solar Plexus Chakra. Once you begin balancing, empowering and healing your Solar Plexus, your sense of creation, confidence and self-assurance will begin blooming as well.

As you begin taking action on your goals, manifest and create, your fear of spiders will also eventually diminish.

So the next time you see a spider, instead of smashing it, peacefully direct it another way, clean your space and ask yourself, which areas in your life need balance, new beginnings and removal of the old.
