Spiders

[Saturn666]

What significance does the spider have in symbolism?
I don't mean in dreams, but for example in psychology, in popular cultures, in ancient pagan civilizations, maybe even in mythology if there are any.
I ask this because I find them cute and also nice animals, literally this is what I sometimes think when I see one in an image or even in reality, I'm not even afraid to get close to them, of course, unless they slip into me in clothes.
When I see a small one I react like most people would react to seeing a pug puppy.
In the past I had heard that every phobia towards animals represents a precise psychological mechanism, which goes beyond the simple fear of a dangerous animal, for example on the spider I heard that the spider represents the fear of being trapped in relationships, or represents the problems of life, I do not know if this is true, looking on the internet I have not found exhaustive information about it.
What interests me most is to understand the psychological meaning of my "combination" of reactions between the phobia of wasps and hornets (also bees, but since I know they almost never attack, if I see one I'm calm) and the sympathy towards of spiders.
Plus I'm also curious about the spiritual meaning of spiders, and if they have any meaning even in Satanism (like bees) or in civilizations like the Egyptians.

Retrograde mercury is a great time for self study I've learned quite a lot, in these few weeks. you just need to know where to look, try different ways of wording your question or make it more general so that different results appear. research is its own reward

I think someone said Spiders were transposed with Scorpio in a zodiac calendar. I can see this, since most spiders are "weavers"

for self study this pdf is quite revealing http://www.sino-platonic.org/complete/spp118_chinese_weaving_goddess.pdf

found this on a wiki page during my own search.

That person who said it was me, and the ancient Mexicans called the Milky Way "the Divine Web". And in astrology, many people who have prominent Scorpio and/or Libra placements are really good with poetry, writing, weaving and creativity associated with the hands, especially if they're in Mercury, Venus or Mars. The ancient Mexican also associated the spider to the Goddess Lilith, and called her the Mother of the Universe. She was heavily revered and spiders were symbols of divine messengers, and designed braids to resemble spider legs.
