Symbolic Meaning of the Spider

Friday, June 19th, 2009

I am not fond of spiders by a long shot. I have had my share of bad experiences with spiders so I would really prefer not to have a message coming to me by way of the spider symbolism but it has been unavoidable this past week. Spiders every where!!!

One day this past week one crawled on my leg. Day two of the spider encounters a small one crawling on the tile floor in my hallway. Day three spider encounter sitting at my computer another little one came down on it’s web right in front of the monitor. Obviously by that point I was not noticing a pattern so that night a dream full of little spiders so I said “Okay, I am paying attention and I get that you are trying to tell me something.” This morning a spider is building a home on my patio and I must admit I feel guilty at the thought of ruining his day by taking a broom to him and his home he worked so hard on overnight. lol. I must say that with all these spider encounters I did not have any of the normal anxiety emotions I normally feel in the pit of my stomach at the sight of them. That in itself say a little something…that this message is not one to feel anxious about and it is not a bad omen or warning.

The spider is an ancient symbol of power, mystery and growth. Much of what the spider has to tell us is in the construction of it’s web. The spider weaves an intricate web that serves as his home, the way he gets food to feed himself and also acts as a place of growth for its eggs. For it’s life the web for the spider is about survival. Also consider that the spider can CREATE it’s web just about any where and it is not even concerned it seems about what might come along at any moment and ruin it’s hard work. The spider to me is fearless for it will build its web outside with no thought of the fact that it might rain and the winds blow and wipe out its home. It just moves on without another thought and starts the process all over again some where else and many times bravely again in the same place.

What about us humans? The spider shows us that it is all about CHOICES. We have choices (free will) we can make and we literally can make any choice and any decision we want, true? True! Ahhhh but the spider tells us something even more important. Whatever choice we make constructs our lives and so even though we may be fearless we still need to be mindful of the choices and decisions we make for we create our own destiny.

So if you have been recently pondering some decision and unsure of what direction to head in or unsure if the decision will keep you on or throw you off your path…the spider says the decision can be any direction but just remember whatever you end up with is what you yourself have weaved.

Buzzard and Vulture Symbolism

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

Within the past few months on several occasions I have driven by a large grouping of Vultures and once again this morning I came across a large group of vultures. It even seems they are getting closer and closer to me. What I mean is, the first time I saw a group of them on the front lawn of an apartment complex but quite a distance from the road. Most recently at the entrance to the community pool in my subdivision and close enough to the road for me driving by to scare them off temporarily. They were having their way with a poor cat which I think had been hit by a car. That sight didn’t sit well with me and I actually tried to just put it out of my mind (except for saying a little prayer for kitty). This morning as I was driving  on a road that is behind my parents house (a short cut) I could see them up ahead. They seemed to be coming out of the woods on the left and crossing over the road to the right shoulder of the road where there was some sort of dead animal. I don’t know what animal because I didn’t want to look. They didn’t fly off this time and seemed pretty bold. One was crossing the street as I neared where they were and then after I passed I looked in my rear view mirror and the one that had passed in front of my car walked back to the middle of the road and I swear turned and just stood there starring in my direction. Creepy? Yes! lol.

I admit that I have put off investigating the meaning of this. I know that many people think buzzards/vultures are a sign of death or at least bad luck…and I sure don’t need any of either! So today I have put on my big girl pants and researched the meaning. What I have found totally matches up with what I have been going through lately and seeing the buzzards totally makes sense to me.

The  Buzzard/Vulture teaches the power of purification of the mind, body and spirit. Also this intimidating bird aids accomplishing tasks through great patience and vision, using your sense of smell and discernment, and how to glide and soar with your own energy.

He teaches efficiency in actions and promises that changes are imminent. (I have recently been dealing with fear of moving foward with a project and this morning I decided to resign myself to a “Nothing ventured, nothing gained attitude.”)

He shows how to restore harmony of thoughts and feelings so one can reach new heights with little effort. (Just this morning I was thinking about how when I was younger and I would get an idea, I would be acting on it before the thoughts were even complete in my head but how I noticed that I hesitate as though I have something to lose or a fear of failure)

Buzzards will aid in uncovering truths, clarifying previous conceptions, and allow to see and hear subtle hidden qualities using intuition and awareness.

Buzzard can teach confidence and the ability to stand with dignity and soar with clarity and purpose.

He shows how to seek a new and heightened vision while increasing sensitivity.

The message here is that IT IS time to put on my big girl pants and to leave them on, to leave behind any perceived limitations for they are not real and only in my mind if I let them exist. It is time to put action behind those ideas because the buzzard will aid in transforming knowledge to bring forth the unconscious to conscious. He will teach me how to soar above it all and find the transformation I am needing at this time in my life.

I am ready!

Numerology - What’s the Deal With 777

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

This will be the first time you see me writing about numerology because I am not really all that knowledgable about numerology, although I have within the last year began slowly learning. But now I write about it because maybe it will help awaken someone to messages that are right there for them to see.

Just a short time ago I scrolled down the page of my blog and there it was. My total visits = 777. Seeing as how I received a dream message last night which I beleive to be about some changes in my life I am paying attention to the messages that are coming by way of dreams, numerology, and nature. The nature thing is a whole long post and I won’t get into that right now.

As far as looking at the number strictly from a numerology point of view the number 777 if a message from our spirit guides would indicate that a lesson has been learned. It is a sign of achknoledgement and achievement - you have learnt a lesson that your spirit guides want you to learn about your life. This does resonate with me because recently I have gone through several changes in my life.

More on the number 777

First of all, many people think they know what the number 777 means. They associate it with luck sometimes because of casino slot machines. But 777 is not 7 -7 -7 but is seven hundred and seventy-seven. It is also not the opposite of 666. 777 is reference one time int he bible and the word priest 777 times. Not that you needed to know that but I found these facts very interesting.

In hebrew letters cooresponde to numbers and Gematria is the process in hebrew of adding the numbers together. There are hundreds of phrases that equal the numbers 777 as well as hundreds probably in the bible alone. For example:

  • The Christ said: “I am the resurrection”. In Greek, resurrection is written “h anastasiV”, numbering 777 = 8+1+50+1+200+300+1+200+10+6.
  • In the first verse of the Bible, it is written: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Gn 1,1) This verse consists of 7 Hebrew words and 28 letters, and it also counts three names: God, heavens and earth. The sum of the numerical values of each one gives 777: God = 86, paradise = 395 and earth = 296, where 86+395+296 = 777.
  • Written in Hebrew, “Orthodox Messiah”, gives 777: he, mem, shin, yod, heth, daleth, taw and yod, giving 5+40+300+10+8+4+400+10 = 777.
  • Written in Hebrew, “YHWH in the YESHUA Messiah”, gives 777: yod, he, waw, he, beth, yod, shin, waw, ayin, he, mem, shin, yod and heth, giving 10+5+6+5+2+10+300+6+70+5+40+300+10+8 = 777.
  • Written in Hebrew, “YESHUA saves”, gives 777: yod, shin, waw, ayin, he, waw, shin, yod and ayin, giving 10+300+6+70+5+6+300+10+70 = 777.
  • By using the ASCII table, we find that the French word “EXORCISTES” (exorcists) gives 777.
  • The numerical value of the Hebrew word NMLA IVMM, meaning “filled with light”, gives 777.
  • The above information is referenced from: http://www.ridingthebeast.com/numbers/nu777.php

    Also consider 7 Seals 7 Trumpets 7 Vials in The Book of Revelation and based on ascension this would take place supposedly in 2012 and would not be the end of the world but a new beginning…Heaven on Earth.
