Marketing Verbiage

An homage to the mythology of the spider as a positive sign for fortune. As a result of its ambivalent reputation, different meanings are attached to the spider. Thus, in some cultures the image of a spider climbing down a thread is regarded as good fortune coming from heaven and as a harbinger of fertility and wealth. The spider symbolizes patience due to its hunting technique of setting webs and waiting for prey. The spider's web is seen in some traditions as reflection of the intricate interconnectivity of life or as dream catcher which protects people from bad dreams.
