“Do not harm the Spider who weaves in your home. She is a blessing.”

– Good Advice.

 ***

Lady Spider may take any spider form she wishes. In human form, she appears to be a middle aged woman of great beauty. Lady Spider is dark skinned with long black hair. She appears with a great blanket wrapped around her, and she almost always brings with her a wondrous Loom.

Long ago, Lady Spider gave the craft of weaving to man, and to this day she continues to look after those practicing the craft. She is also known to protect mothers and to aid them in the protection of their home and children. Those inflicting harm on innocent women and children may find themselves on the wrong side of Lady Spider’s good will. Though she is unlikely to attack anyone directly, Lady Spider will happily provide what aid she may (often taking the form of critical advice) to those she deems capable of helping to protect innocents.

Lady Spider frowns upon those who harm her kindred, though she does not necessarily fault those who place spiders outside their homes without violence. Common wisdom suggests that a home is safer with at least one web-weaving spider present. A quick review of Lady Spider’s powers may reveal the reason for this.

Religion: Lady Spider is known most anywhere one can find spiders. She has few Priests of her own, though Many a Shaman or a weaver from different parts of the world pays homage to her. Home keepers often look to her as a matron deity of sorts, and she is as likely to help them as anyone.
