Spider

The Great Mother, in her terrible aspect as weaver of destiny, is sometimes depicted as a huge spider.  All moon goddesses are spinners and weavers of Fate and the Cosmic Spider, the Great Spider, or the Great Weaver is also the Creator who spins the thread of life fro its own substance and attaches all men to itself by the thread of the umbilical cord and binds them to, or weaves them into, the web of the pattern of the world.  The spider at the center of its web also represents a world center; it can also be either the sun surrounded by its rays, radiating in all directions, or the moon as the life-and-death cycle of the manifest world, or the year, weaving the web of time..
