5199. About spiders
I saw many women who appeared like spiders who let themselves down by threads, who were thrown out of heaven. It was their affections that appeared like this. They were those who in their speech, gesture and appearance seemed pious and devout, but inwardly were overflowing with adulteries, thefts, and every kind of malice and deceit. Consequently their inward aspects were full of poison.

I saw many females who were cast down from heaven, and who appeared like spiders letting themselves down by threads. It was their affections which appeared so. They were such persons, as, in speech, gestures and face, seemed pious and devout, but inwardly abounded in adulteries, thefts and all wickedness and deceit: thus, their interiors were full of venom.
5199. De araneis
