God is a.... Spider?

So, I am pretty good at closing my eyes and opening my third eye. And despite what we are told in movies, looking through the void upon the face of a higher entity will not drive you mad, or kill you or any of that bullshit. However, that shit can be hard to piece together sometimes given a limited, mortal consciousness… My question is… Why do I see this overshadowing, beyond known religions and deities, all the way back to the primordial thickets of unknown weirdness… Why do I see the silhouettes of arachnids and am I the only one that sees it? What the fuck are these god spiders that are outlying everything else?

Reminds me of Anansi.

I’m unfamiliar with the term.

He’s an important figure in Carribean and West African folk-lore. He’s known as a trickster, a shapeshifter, and a weaver-of stories as well as knowledge. He takes the form of a spider.

May I ask, what’s your ancestry? No worries if you prefer not to answer, I’ve just been doing some research into ancient lore, and your answer may assist me with that. :+1:

The first 2 things that came to mind immediately but this is in no way definite answers. But I think this is a good starting point.

“Weavers of Reality”

and

“Arachne”

Sepheranz comes to mind, who is also Arachne as well. Here’s an article about her if you want to read more about her: The Spider Queen or Spider Goddess (Sepheranz, Arachne, Illivryn) – V.K. Jehannum

Indeed, we elves call the “Astral” Plane, or the plane of Life, existance, by the term:
The Weave.

The Association with Spiders is true in two forms:

The Net,
is spunn to continue the existance and creation of the world,
and the more emerced you are within the weave,
the more energy and magick you can access in the world.

The other aspect of it,
is that the Spiders don’t hunt,
they catch their pray,
by getting them trapped within their net.

The Greek Sister-Goddesses of Fate,
are very similar to that.

They spinn the life strings,
and cut it when a persons time is over.

Now,
when you look down,
into the weave,
instead of looking up,
you see a huge moving population of souls and beings,
and most of them are food for other beings.

Either on similar scales,
or higher,
or lower scales,
than their own self.

In fact,
long before we developed more advanced forms of immortality,
it was a primordeal form of continuing one’s own life,
to remain strong and composed,
while being devoured by other beings,
and rank up through being eaten into other forms of existance.

That,
thankfully isn’t the best way to remain immortal anymore.

To continue your life beyond what a single vessle can deliver for you,
you had to remain composed,
and then corrupt the new vessle into serving you and becoming you.

Some less evolved Spirits still use this form of Possession,
and it’s usually overwatched,
or taken care of,
by more developed spirits.

So yes,
that “consuming” “eating” aspect,
is existing on various planes.

I personally considered this “life feeds life.”
And indeed, many healings and curses tap into those powers,
without fully recognizing what’s going on there.

But precisely,
that “life feeds life” mechanism,
can be seen in various forms,
when observing true nature.

Not that crap they call Nature when making a movie or placing a cage calling it Zoo.

No, i mean true nature.

Observe the cycles of the Zodiac, and the Seasons around you.

Watch Plants and Animals,
that are actually living around you.

That,
will give you an understanding of the Weave.

So,
your perception of seeing Gods / Spirits as Spiders,
ain’t entirely wrong.

However,
i’d assume your view might be tainted,
as it’s not the normal perception of those planes.

Possible reasons for your specific interpretation of it:

Working with, or being guided by Belial /(He’s a Scorpion / Spider God, in some eminations),
simple fear - arachniaphobia,
or having some natrual alignement with that specific breed of lifeforms.

I personally don’t think your perception is wrong,
and i want to make that absolutely clear.

It might,
however,
be a specific angle of view,
and others yet undiscovered.

Sincerely,

¥’Berion

Hiya OP! Those are Weavers, they’re like the Fates but for patterns of perceived reality. They can also weave magic; the more you work with them, the more like them you can become! :slight_smile:

Interesting. They seem well aware that I can see them, but they seem indifferent to that fact. I can feel their energy and it is massive.
