'At the time Hermon had just finished the Demeter, the spider called to me, 'he scratched me on the gold. But at that very time yes, my handsome friend, I can reckon accurately you had met me, Althea, in Tennis, I had brought the spider-woman before your eyes.
It was Hermon's, and the person to whom he was speaking could be no one but the uncanny spider-woman, Althea. They were coming to have a secret conversation under the shade of the dense foliage of the sycamore. That was easily perceived, and in an instant Ledscha's fear yielded to a different feeling.
'My heart is glad; I have long been expecting you; come down into my house. 'How can I, said Tiyo, 'when it will scarce admit the point of my toe? She said, 'Try, and when he laid his foot upon the hole, it widened out larger than his body, and he passed down into a roomy kiva." * Spider-Woman is an important figure in Hopi mythology. She it is who weaves the clouds so that rain may come.

The accuracy with which he portrays woman the parasite, the man-eater, the siren, is quite terrible. No writer of his day was so shudderingly conscious of every gesture, movement, and intonation with which the spider-woman sets out to lure the mate she is going to devour.

Finally, after many wonderful adventures, he was lifted out of the underworld as he sat in a ho-a-pah, a kind of wicker pannier, with two beautiful maidens of the snake kiva, by Spider-Woman, who carried him over the country and deposited him at his home. He married one of the maidens and thus founded the Snake Clan, and his brother married the other and founded the Snake-Antelope Clan.
Hence in many Hopi ceremonies, where rain is prayed for, she is especially propitiated. The legend then goes on to describe how Tiyo is taken and guided by the Spider-Woman to various places, where he learned all about the ceremonies that the Hopis now perform at their Snake Dance to produce rain.
