Tarot and Spiders

Welcome to Season 12 of Every Day Tarot! This season, we’re exploring the sacred bond between the tarot and our animal allies.Animals are ancient storytellers. They whisper truths about our intuition, reflecting our fears and desires, guiding us through cycles of change, and reminding us of the wild magic woven into the natural world.In this episode, we talk about spiders—weavers of fate and keepers of intricate worlds. They invite us to become intentional architects of our own lives. Spider energy says, "Every strand we weave—each choice, thought, and action—becomes part of the story we’re living."Let’s dig into their lore, their tarot appearances, and the lessons they bring when they show up in your life (or your deck!)What we explore in this episode:Spider symbolisms in myth and magic How spider energy relates to certain tarot archetypes The message of the rabbit: weave with intention and honor the connections that sustain you Spider Symbolism in Myth & MagicSpiders are master builders, spinning webs that are both home and hunting ground, showing us how beauty and function can coexist.In many traditions, Spider Grandmother or Spider Woman is a creator figure, weaving the stars into the sky and teaching humans how to live in harmony.
