Healing Spider Medicine

    Made this pendant quite a few years ago. Australian opal triplet in sterling. I meant it as a symbol of respect for Grandmother Spider, but I also recognized the therapeutic effect. I happen to have a healthy dose of arachniphobia stemming from my childhood! Have found myself wearing it almost constantly the last three months. Perhaps helping me to weave together the threads of my life. Need to get to work on that tapestry!
    This last week I've had two incidents where I found myself tangled up in large spider webs.  The amount of composure I had truly surprised me! I was even able to get the spiders themselves off of me safely...... and not "freak-out" in the process. Thats a REAL indication of healing and growth for me. And I'm celebrating it!
