While many of us may be a little fearful when we see a spider in our home, in many traditions, the spider is a good omen and a helpful savior. Ancient Chinese folk culture celebrates spiders. They are thought to bring happiness in the morning, and wealth in the evening. Spiders are seen as lucky creatures, and dubbed “happy insects”. The image of the spider features widely in art and literature in China, and spider jewelry or charms are worn to bring good luck!
