Ooooh!! Spiders don't scare me. I consider them an omen much like the owl...it's a bit if mystery but I'd say they're your protectors. Eerie but beautifully penned.

Intense and frightening Tink, I hope this is metaphorical and not reality. Stark images for sure.

As long as we know they are there. It is the not knowing that is a problem.

Never heard of a mindless spider causing any distress except to give you a good scare now and then. You are of sound mind my dear never fear otherwise.

Stress can create migranes and those flashing lights before your eyes... wonderful capture of the confusion it causes.

Princess Tinka,
Sometimes, the webs are all that are holding us together...and the freedom, in shaking them free, is that we can see clearly now!

Excellently woven riddle, you amazing chick you! LOL

Arachne challenged the Goddess Athena to a weaving contest. Arachne filled her canvass with subjects that showed the failings of the gods. Athena tore the work to pieces and the terrified maiden hung herself. Athena then turned Arachne into a spider and the rope into a cobweb, condemning the maid to spin forever. The Great Weaver in Native American mythology is also the Creator who spins the thread of life from its own substance and attaches all people to it by the umbilical cord. The Mayan Goddess Ixchel took the form of a spider...Keep on spinning your silken tales, Tinka...we need trusted weavers of the web...
