are money spiders really lucky or is that just made up?

Question

if they are lucky how much luck should i get for seeing 4 at the same time

Answer 1

Yes they are lucky, each one you see will bring you £500, so all you have to do is sit and wait for your 2 grand...I saw one a couple of weeks ago, can't wait....

Answer 2

money spiders are only supposed to attract money to your hands if you touch them without killing them.
Thus seeing them wouldn't be lucky.
And if i remember correctly touching more than one in one sighting/sitting is bad luck cos they counteract each other.
i.e. be content with just one blessing and dont be greedy, cos grreed makes bad things happen.
I think the story behind them being lucky is that if the bug has been lucky enough not to be crushed by your finger then it is likely that there is a lot of luck around

Answer 3

Most superstitions are 'made up' but real to the people who made them up. Money spiders perhaps they like crevasses, the kind that might be created by wallpaper which when it came out only the rich had. - Servants might see these spiders in their masters' houses and would pass on the idea they would give you money. Or maybe not.

Answer 4

Wouldn't say money spiders lucky, or any other, if they come into my house, my cats eat them! However its just a made up superstition, originating sometime in the 19th century.

If they are lucky someone will come to your door inside the next 5 minutes (now 1:15am) and will tell you, you have just won £30m. If they are not lucky then no one will turn up.

There is some sense in the belief. People who allow small creatures to exist are of a more philosophical and caring nature. Such people will find life less stressful and more rewarding, which aids success in their endeavors.
