Indians believe that a Giant Spider gave birth to the world
My persona on Fisher's Renaissance Festival in early October, Rome (Roma). I had decided to weave my past and present together and talk about the legacy of the family name Zbeida. All my life when I would say Zbeida answer would be skeptical! "You know if Zbeida?" When confused laughter laughter. The family name was a legacy that came with the Middle East dance and many myths. There are many myths about the Middle East spiders. One was that Cain was marked with a spider mark so he would become outcasts. The second was that the spider saved both the baby Jesus and Prophet Mohammed by weaving a web. In the version Eenglish Sir Blake was saved in the same way. So off to the Faire, I went with a bag full of plastic spiders and a dozen myths spider as my shtick. (You can see the clip on Youtube.com.) In my first article on AC titled The Fragile Web, I discussed have been in trouble on a job of over 10 years when I was kidding my sister Arachne was turned into a spider. Since then I have spent the last weeks of a spider warp. It is not fun, but I drove my car during driving home the next day and the other driver said there were spiders on his dashboard that diverted attention (he also had a pile of books on mood disorders in his front seat). I got in the car a few days later and felt like Little Miss Muffet when a spider fell into my lap. And in this moment, there is a small black spider above my desk looking at me. So, I as I often do, I read Catherine Foote The Weaver from the book Prayers Survivor and I'm wondering how to weave the loose pieces of my life. I know "The Weaver will not discourage or be discouraged. We weave a fabric that does not even violence will destroy, and I have discovered the beauty in me. "Decide that spiders clearly become my totem animal, and decided to do some research. You know there is a museum in Australia dedicated to spiders? So I guess you might say I have become a bit of arachnologist. And seems to be forming a spider guild. My colleagues have decided that because the stem is the protector of the language, she must be asked me to write. Yes, Virginia, is a female spider. Many Native Americans believe there was a large spider that gave birth to the world. Friends are now baptized me Spider Lady and has begun a stream of stem gifts. I've got a big 3 foot decorative spider, decals for my car, and a jar decorated with motifs cobwebs (for my tips from the predictions at the next Renaissance Faire ... LOL) I think I like the idea of being Mother of Creation. So, if someone has something to contribute to spider access, you can send it to: Helena Zahara at PO Box 19 725, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46 219. No live specimens, please!
