  1. If they are in the house, its a sign to exterminate, if the are outside, let them be,, Spiders are known to bring good luck. but if they are poisionous, its not very good luck to have them overtaking your house.


  2. they might have a web/nest sumwhere close to ur location. call an exterminater he might be able to locate the problem and get ridda emm

  3. well i know that if a spider lands on your body or it's found on your shirt it's good luck meaning you will receive something new like for example; clothing.

  4. http://www.washington.edu/burkemuseum/sp...

    That's a website just FULL of random urban-spider-legends. Some of the most famous myths on the website include how daddy-long-legs are spiders, how brown recluses have "fiddle-like" markings on their backs, and how Americans swallow at least 4 spiders in their sleep every year.

    Also, I agree with everyone above me, there's a major myth that says that if you see a horde of spiders outside then it's gonna rain.  

  5. I know that in dreams spiders mean luck and prosperity and happy times ahead.. I forget what spider webs mean but they pretty much mean the same things as spiders except worded different .. I think something to do with a steady home life or wants being fulfilled .. something like that .. but thats only in dreams.. :\.. yeah and uh you prolly need to get your house sprayed .. spiders come out in the summer.. spiders are no good.. and they bite.. hard.. and it stings..

    -in an unrelated note... butterflys landing on you means good luck and protection to your soul

  6. Nope, it just means you have way too many d**n spiders in your house!!!! lol *KIDDING*

    uMM, i'm not sure. Its the first i've herd that myth, but i know for sure that there are way too many spiders in apartments these day... WHERE'D THEY ALL COME FROM?

  7. means its going to rain

  8. In folklore and mythology

    The spider has featured in mythological fables and cultures throughout the world since ancient times and in modern mythology.

    In Ancient Egypt, the spider was associated with the goddess Neith in her aspect as spinner and weaver of destiny, this link continuing later though the Babylonian Ishtar and Greek Athena.[4]



    Arachne's depiction as a half-spider half-human in Dante's Divine Comedy.The most notable ancient legend that explains the origin of the spider is the story of the weaving competition between the Greek goddess Athena and the princess Arachne. This fable was added much later to the Greek mythos when Ovid wrote the poem Metamorphoses between 2-8 AD.[5] Arachne was the daughter of a famous Tyrian purple dyer in Hypaipa of Lydia. Due to her father's skill with cloth dying, Arachne was adept in the art of weaving. Eventually, she began to consider herself a greater weaver than the goddess Athena herself and challenged the goddess to a weaving contest to prove her skill. Athena wove the scene of her victory over Poseidon that had inspired her patronage of Athens, while Arachne wove a tapestry featuring twenty-one episodes of infidelity amongst the Gods of Olympus, which angered Athena. The goddess conceded that Arachne's weaving was flawless but she was infuriated by the mortal's pride. In a final moment of anger, Athena destroyed Arachne's tapestry and loom with her shuttle. Out of sadness, Arachne hung herself soon after. Taking pity on her, Athena transformed her into a spider before the princess could kill herself. Athena made sure that the spider retained Arachne's weaving abilities. The Greek Arachne means "spider" (αράχνη).[6][7]

    The scholar Robert Graves proposed the tale may have its roots in the commercial rivalry between the Athenians and Cretan inhabitants of Miletus in Asia Minor, who flourished around 2000 BC and to whom the spider may have been an important figure as seals with spider emblems have been recovered in the city's namesake in Crete.[8]

    In African folklore, the spider is personified as Anansi, the trickster god and character from later in African mythology. Alternate names include Kwaku Ananse in West Africa and anglicized as Aunt Nancy (or Sister Nancy), a variant specifically found in some of the islands of the West Indies, South America and the United States.[9] And in other cultures, such as the Native American Lakota people's culture, the spider is present as the deity Iktomi, which is occasionally depicted in its form.[4] In Native American mythology, the spider is again seen in the legend about the birth of the constellation Ursa Major. The constellation was seen as seven men transformed into stars and climbing to paradise by unrolling a spiders web.[1] The Navajo has the creation myth of Spider Grandmother. In the story, Spider Grandmother created all things through the shimmering threads that came out of her belly.[10] The Moche people of ancient Peru worshiped nature.[11] They placed emphasis on animals and often depicted spiders in their art.[12]
