Where My Spirituality and Marketing Finally Meet

Ever since I started my internet businesses about a year ago, I've been searching for connections between my spirituality and my marketing efforts.

My search for some link has been fruitless up until a few days ago. Then I came across the SpiderWeb Marketing System.

First a bit of background so you can understand why I am so excited about this system.

For most of my life, I had a debilitating fear of spiders. Then I became a meter reader for Toronto Hydro, and my work involved going down into basements...right where all the spiders live! I simply had to overcome my arachnophobia!
I went to the Toronto Reference Library - this was before the internet became the ultimate search spot - and read everything I could about spiders. I read about the biology, symbolism, and spiritual aspects of spiders from various cultures around the world. My big breakthrough came when I realized that I AM a spider, or perhaps more accurately, the qualities I feared in spiders were also in myself.

This realization completely changed the way I felt about spiders, and I was able to embrace both the positive and negative aspect of spiders. I was no longer afraid and was able to carry spiders from my house to set them free outside. Freedom from fear at last!

Then I came across a wonderful book by Jamie Sams called The Thirteen Original Clan Mothers. The Clan Mother for October, my birth month, is Weaves The Web. Her medicine is creativity and I also discovered through another Jamie Sams book (Medicine Cards) that one of my totem animals is the spider! Now when I see a spider (which, since I overcame my phobia, I rarely do) I recognize it as a reminder to pay attention to my creativity and the pattern I am weaving of the web of my life.

When I first stumbled on the SpiderWeb Marketing System, I was immediately drawn to it because of the spider connection. So I signed up and started going through the 22 videos to set up the system. I'm only part way through the entire set up, and it promises to be a fantastic and fully integrated way to launch 12 streams of income.

(This system is completely free to use. Every step is carefully and fully explained on the videos and by following the steps you create your own web of income generating sites. Check out the banner on the right if you'd like to learn more.)

I am ever so grateful to Grandmother Spider for leading me to this site. Hopefully you will also benefit from her efforts on your behalf. As Jamie Sams says:

"Weaves The Web is the Clan Mother we turn to when we need the skills to
make our dreams real. She shows us how to take the actions necessary to
tap our creativity and go with the flow. Giving birth to our dreams is
always accomplished by having the desire to create, deciding to create, and
taking the actions necessary by using the flow of life force to give birth to the
dream in the tangible world"
from The 13 Original Clan Mothers by Jamie Sams

So I'm one happy marketer now that I've found at least one connection between my spirituality and my online efforts. I hope you, too, will find your special connection. If any of you have stories about how signs, symbols, and totems have affected your life, please feel free to leave a comment.
