Legends have it that a spider is one of the gods whose name is Anansi. He is a spider and is considered to be the spirit of all knowledge of stories. He is a trickster, a joker, and a teacher to those who would follow those traditions. He appears to those who interacted with as a spider. His interactions with the people are very important, as he brings stories and wisdom to them. His mission then was to tell stories and play tricks to the world, as he sees it as a place of boredom. Boring, because he realized that the people had no stories to tell. All the stories were hoarded by his father in a box in the sky. Eventually, this box will be given to him by his father, so Anansi brought all the stories of wisdom to the world.
Anansi is a well-meaning god. People actually would use offerings to summon him. He would then appear, but if they do not have interesting stories to tell Anansi, he would get bored and leave immediately.
These days, you can try very hard to summon Anansi, and I doubt if he will appear. It will be very hard to find him. That is because he is just that: a legend.
