The spider is a potent symbol for it makes its universe -- or atleast one might say that everything that happens of importance to the spider takes place on the web. The rest of the world might as well not exist. Hence the spider is a potent symbol for the self. Of course the spider is taken to a larger frame than that: the notion of the spider as a weaver and of sensation as a kind of tapestry makes the spider a symbol for the creation of experience.
