Spiders are animals that belong to a separate class of Arachnids of the Arthropod type. All representatives of spiders are predators that eat small animals. Most often, spiders eat insects, but they can also feast on worms, centipedes, and large representatives - even birds and mammals.

All spiders are poisonous. Their venom paralyzes the victim or helps protect against larger animals (such as birds). But since a person’s skin is quite thick and their body weight is large, not every spider is capable of biting through the skin or causing serious damage to a person’s health.

But spiders effectively destroy various insects that can get into the house. These could be flies, mosquitoes, ants or cockroaches - everything that the spider is able to catch quickly becomes its meal.

Our ancestors, who from ancient times noticed what spiders fed on, began to consider them peculiar living amulets, they say, if an animal protects a home from completely material enemies in the form of insects, then it can scare away evil spirits, damage, etc.

On the floor

A spider on the floor is good luck. Moreover, if the spider was spotted in the evening, good luck will be in the long term, and there is no need to wait for it in the coming days.

To crush a spider in such a situation means to turn away from your own luck, to give up a happy chance, because no matter how scary the spider may seem, crush it or there is no other way to kill.

Even the accidental killing of a spider that crawled into a slipper or unsuccessfully crossed the road promises trouble. There is also no need to leave it to be torn to pieces by pets (for example, a spider can be killed by a cat).

We can say that spiders also symbolize the implementation of long-conceived plans that you have been putting off for a long time. Now, through the spider, fate lets you know that the time has come and it’s time to get down to business.

It doesn’t matter what the matter is, luck will accompany you in everything, be it climbing the career ladder, love affairs or study.

Sometimes a spider can mean a meeting. Moreover, most likely, the person you meet will come to your house himself as a guest. Usually such meetings are pleasant and beneficial for both the owners of the home and the guests.

On the ceiling

A spider on the ceiling is good luck. The ancient Slavs could even specially breed a small number of spiders so that they would settle in the upper corners of the hut, catch insects there and bring good luck to the house. Many people are afraid that a spider from the ceiling may fall on their head or, even worse, by the collar. But there is nothing wrong with this if the spider is not poisonous.

It is believed that if a spider descends from the ceiling onto a person’s head or shoulder, that person will soon have great luck. The spider in this case symbolizes a certain heavenly gift that descends from the sky (symbolized by the ceiling) to the ground. As with floor spiders, there is no need to kill the animal.

Also, spiders were popularly considered intermediaries or messengers between the real world and the world of spirits, and a spider on the ceiling, for obvious reasons, turns out to be better than on the floor, because it will help to establish a connection with the good spirits of the “upper”, heavenly world.

However, this point of view is rather pagan, and with the advent of Christianity it was gradually forgotten and faded into the background.

Another sign says that spiders crawling on the ceiling predict good weather. This sign has a scientific basis, because animals (as well as many people) can feel changes in air pressure and predict the weather using it.

Spiders are highly dependent on the weather, because rain can tear off the web, and there is no prey in the rain. Therefore, if a spider crawls along the ceiling, especially if it weaves a web in the corner, then everything will be fine with the weather, and if it hides, then it will rain.

But if a spider decides to braid an icon with a web, then destroying it is considered a good deed. There is even a popular belief according to which, for the destruction of such a spider, a person is forgiven his past sins (not all, of course, but only a few, and only comparable in significance to this act).

On the table

In the bathroom

Spiders in the bathroom are common. The signs associated with spiders in the bathroom are no different from the signs regarding spiders in any other room. Perhaps this is due to the fact that our distant ancestors did not have a bathroom.

As in other rooms, you need to look at the color, size and direction of the spider's movement.

You also need to take into account that a spider can drown in water, so you need to carefully remove the animal from the bath before filling it with water.

On the wall

A spider sitting motionless on the wall may mean that your luck is not in a hurry to come to you, but is stuck somewhere halfway. But the one running - to the speedy fulfillment of plans and luck. The orientation of the spider and the direction of its movement are also important. Ask him whether he is sitting for good or evil, and wait. If he turns his head up or runs up, be good, but if down, your aspirations will not come true.

Pay attention to the size of the animal. A large spider means great luck, and a small one means little luck.

There is no need to kill spiders on the walls, no matter where they run. This will ruin your luck and leave a stain on the wallpaper.

There is also a sign according to which killing a spider on the wall promises an imminent illness.

Is there any danger?

According to signs, there is no danger in spiders; they most often bring good luck, happiness or wealth to the house in which they settle.

From a scientific point of view, only large representatives of this order are dangerous, such as, for example, tarantulas, or especially poisonous, like karakurts. Both live in the south of Russia and Ukraine, in Kazakhstan and Central Asia.

If such spiders crawl into the house, do not pay attention to superstitions - destroy them all in the most effective way and without any mercy. After all, it is known that a karakurt bite can lead to a long-term illness - arachnosis (from the name of Arachne, who, according to legend, was turned into a spider).

This disease is characterized by fever, nausea, pain throughout the body and necrosis (death of the skin) at the site of the bite. For a child, a karakurt bite can be fatal, and not every hospital has the medicine.

Almost certainly a bite from a karakurt or tarantula will kill a cat or small dog.

But haymakers, popularly also called mowers, are harmless to humans, because they cannot bite through the skin. Such arachnids should not be killed; they will catch flies and mosquitoes.

Spider color

Spiders of different colors are known to science. There are spiders that are green, gray, whitish, yellow, striped like a wasp, and black. According to popular belief, spiders of all colors bring good luck, except black. Perhaps this is due to the color black as the color of night and darkness, the color of any evil and death.

Perhaps influence people's faith bitter experience of meeting with karakurto m - a black spider and red spots on the abdomen. In any case, the black spider is an exception to the rule; it does not bring happiness, and its destruction will not bring either trouble or illness.

It should also be noted that colored representatives of the spider fraternity are rarely found in homes. These are usually wolf spiders. They do not weave trapping nets and live on flowers or in the grass, and they are brought into the house with the same flowers.

The most common guests in houses are gray or whitish spiders, as well as their relatives - haymakers, which are also gray in color.

Conclusion

Thus, spiders in most cases promise good luck and success in business. Since ancient times, our people have associated the spider with the sky, with the sun, with protection from dark forces, because it eats flies and mosquitoes, the natural enemies of humans.

Therefore, popular wisdom usually says not to touch spiders, even if they crawl on you and fall from the ceiling. In rare cases, a spider can portend trouble. These cases are as follows: the spider is black, the spider is crawling on the table, or the spider is crawling from top to bottom.

Also, killing a spider weaving an icon is an exception to the general rule and is considered a good deed.

Many people are afraid of spiders, considering them poisonous and, therefore, life-threatening. But not all species of this insect pose a threat to humans. Some spiders, especially those that live with people in their apartments and houses, are quite harmless and do not pose any threat; on the contrary, they are very useful. As ancient wisdom says, by the behavior of spiders one can predict the weather, and even more so, future changes in the life of the owners of the house.

The most common signs

Despite its frightening appearance, the spider is considered a messenger of significant events that will soon delight the owners of the house, and, as you know, a messenger with good news cannot be offended.

They say that if you see a spider sitting on its web in the corner of the ceiling, then you should make a wish that will definitely come true, especially if the spider will soon come down. Of course, if it rises higher, the wish will not come true so soon.

It is also believed that seeing a spider above your head is good luck, as well as great luck, especially if the spider tries to fall on your head. If the insect does fall, the lucky one will receive a gift, and in the near future.

The sight of a spider descending indicates imminent news or a letter, naturally, with pleasant news that will greatly please the owners. The option of long-awaited guests who will soon appear on the threshold of a welcoming home is also possible.

What time of day is best to see a spider?

Of course, the appearance of this harmless insect does not always promise happiness. In some cases, seeing a spider is considered not a very good omen. For example, in the morning the appearance of a spider promises failure for the coming day; in the evening, on the contrary, it leads to good luck and profit, but the sight of this insect during the day means a quick romantic adventure, which, quite possibly, will lead to great love and the creation of a family hearth.

How does the color of a spider affect the interpretation of signs?

The interpretation of signs about these insects and their color also influences the interpretation.

Traditionally, the black spider is considered the most terrifying, and, accordingly, its appearance is associated with misfortunes and failures. However, it all depends on the place where he made his web. For example, seeing a black spider above the bed is considered to separate lovers, but its appearance above your head or just in the corner, on the contrary, promises profit.

Red-colored spiders are treated with caution, accordingly, and their appearance is interpreted not entirely favorably. It is believed that the red spider comes to the house with bad news and also warns of impending troubles.

In contrast, white spiders bring only joy and prosperity, especially if they have built their web over the bed of a married couple. In this case, lovers should expect a quick addition to the family, as well as monetary profit.
