Could be, Sins, I was thinking more in the spiritual/metaphysical sense. Some of the songs we used to sing in pagan groups included songs about weaving and spinning, both of which always brought to mind the Spider Woman mentioned above and wimmin's work. We used to do a weaving in and out dance to the songs, too, holding hands in a long line, then following the leader. One May Eve we did this at our house in CT, which had a HUGE lone Oak tree out in a meadow with a pond. It was so much fun to lead my friends out to the meadow, dance and singing, then round the oak tree and back.

I think there is a piece I wrote called "The Web" posted here in one of the Thoughts for the Day. You might enjoy it. If I find it, I'll put in a link.

Also, did you hear the story I read for Ron Olesko's Christemas radio show two years ago, in which he featured Mudcatters? It was from an old story book of my grandma's and explain how we came to have Golden Cobwebs (tinsel) on the Christmas Tree. I think I posted it, too, so will look for a link.

Thanks,
