A cute song celebrating the spirit and attributes of Spider Deity. Why not get over any fear and gain appreciation? Give Spiders your spiritual honor. Marilyn Krowommn wrote this song. In this track she sings it solo, and accompanies herself with a simple rattle, just as she does during her frequent devotions to Grandmother Spider.
This song is track 16 on our album Pantheon: Honoring the Pagan Divine. The whole album is available for sale here on Bandcamp, and this song can also be purchased as an individual digital download.
My Familiar is a Spider is sponsored by Samantha, in honor of DonnaPauline and DonnaMarie, two Crowsisters who have taught me much about learning to bravely spin my web into being, and how to recast it in strong winds.
Lyrics
My familiar is a spider, in her web she weaves me.
To my altar I invite her, and her presence never leaves me.
With eight legs she dances in my life, weave the web,
Spin the future with each thread, what will be.
By her pow’r I am protected, may she guard and guide me.
In her web I am connected, may she ever walk beside me.
There are many pathways in my life, make a choice,
Listen to the Spider’s voice guiding me.
Spider magic brings me blessings, Maiden, Crone and Mother.
See Arachne, dancing maiden, spin the strands, create my future.
Mother Spider, bless and comfort me, web of peace,
Tangled cords I can release, feeling free.
Weave the universe becoming, oh Grandmother Spider.
Energy and power humming, wisdom flows from deep inside her.
Dancing on the traces of her web, I am healed,
As the future is revealed, eternally.
My familiar is a spider— Blessed Be.
