Spider
Weaving
Spider is another medicine that varies greatly from tribe to tribe. One tribe has associated the
white man with spider medicine. Their prophecy says that when the white man (Spider) has connected all of his
power (electrical) lines and forms a great web over the earth, then his world will burn and he will be
destroyed.
Another tribe speaks of the Spider Woman who weaves existence together like great strands of a web.
Learning the stories of the Spider Woman can help one understand that we are all connected. By dishonoring
one, we dishonor ourselves.
