I wrote a poem about Frosty my pony on my Rainbow Bridge page where he came back to see me and talk to me. It was a dream. I wrote the poem when I woke up.

Marty, I PM-ed you. Thanks!

I'm thrilled with the Private Messages I've received so far! Wow. One thing that surprises me, though. There haven't been that many horses!

I PM'd you already........but wanted to comment about the horses.......for me I find that the one horse in particular that I had and developed such an intense bond too....when we parted company she has always been close to my heart......and all other horses have been held against her memory so for me she is always with me and that may be why I haven't had any dreams where she needed to visit.........she is always here and she is one of the few beings I have ever had that strong of a bond with.........I sold her before she died but I also know she couldn't live forever as for the exact date of her death it eludes me I know she died and I know she knew how many lives she touched and that is truly all that matters........

I think often dog's because they live so close to us are more likely to be the subject of visitations........and cats.....well I believe as some cultures have and do that cats live somewhere between planes they are never fully here ..........they are always in touch with the beyond and unknown.........cats are very mystical and in our home they are sacred we are a cat family..........look deep into the eyes of a cat sometime it is an intense experience.........

Probably the strangest visitations would be those of wild animals..or as I believe our totems.....when they come often in that state between waking and sleeping it is usually vivid and leaves you with a physical sensation of having been somewhere else.......I have been visited by many creatures most recently it was spiders.......lots of spiders all sizes and kinds and webs everywhere I could not move without spiders being on me or their webs........it wasn't frightening but I have yet to figure out what that was all about.........it was like walking through water except instead of water it was spiders and webs........anyone got the dirt on spider mojo.....

From the following site: Animal Totems, their healing power, spiritual teachings, and hidden messages

The Spider
Many stories exist about the weaver, Grandmother spider. She carried on her back the gift of fire in a basket that she wove and presented it to the people. In another story it is said that her web bound all things together and formed the foundation of earth..

These legends give the spider a link to the past and the future, birth and creation.  When the spider crawls into our awareness it is asking us to rebuild the web of our life in accordance with the design the creator gave us.

Spiders differ from insects in having eight legs rather than six and in having the body divided into two parts rather than three. The number eight laid on its side is the symbol for infinity.  The number two implies the union of two forces joined together. Together they equal ten.  Drop the zero and you are back to the starting point of one. The hidden message of spider is unity.  The study of numerology is beneficial for those who hold this medicine.

The construction of a web is linked to the geometry of creation. In the construction of an orb web the spider releases a sticky silken thread into the wind.  If the breeze carries the thread to a spot where it sticks the first bridge is formed.  Spider cautiously crosses the line reinforcing it with a second.  This process continues until a frame is constructed in which the web can secure itself.  Bridges serve as a link tying all things together and remind us of our interconnectedness to all life.

The spider shows us that the past, the present and the future are all interwoven.  It awakens our intuitive creative senses and encourages us to design the fabric of our lives from our souls original intention. If you see a spider in its web, or creating a new one, pay attention.  It symbolizes where you are in the weaving of your own destiny.  A study of the medicine wheel and the four directions is helpful.

Because spiders are actually very delicate they embody the energy of gentleness.  Spiders are not usually aggressive unless they are defending their lives. Moving forward in all situations with a gentle strength is a skill that often needs to be learned for those with this totem. In man, the bite of a poisonous spider symbolizes a death, rebirth process. Poison enters the nervous system and the body either transmutes it or falls victim to its venom and dies.

The spider signifies the tapestry of life.  The web we weave is the reality we experience. Choosing the appropriate path is one of the lessons associated with this medicine.
