"The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces" - Proverbs 30:28

Creator or Destroyer

In many cultures spiders stand as the creators of our universe and world, and also serve as agents of destruction.

For example, in ancient India, it is written that a large spider wove the web that is our universe. She sits at the centre of the web, controlling things via the strings. In legend it is said she will one day devour the web/universe, and spin another in its place.

....“other symbolic associations for the spider god included war, hunting, power or textiles. There is an image of spider deities holding nets filled with decapitated human heads, so there was an analogy with successful warriors and claims of power.” Nod to Bags. No Owls, just spiders today. But tomorrow I make no promise.
