thread of life. The spider is one of the five poisons in China, but it also symbolizes good
luck when it spins down on a thread from heaven. In Japan, they are a symbol of bad luck.

Doorway
The entrance to a house or sacred space symbolically marks the divide between the sacred

the surrounding supports, or add symbolic “totems” to the door itself, such as a horseshoe or
door knocker.

When a location has been identified as being good for a handout, a sign of
a circle with a cross within it is made. The circle refers to the place and the
