The black widow spider is very unusual and in some way is a collective term, since about 30 species of arthropods are hidden under it. These creatures became famous because some representatives of this genus are distinguished by their ability to secrete an extremely toxic poison that can cause severe intoxication in humans and even cause death. Wherever this segmented creature lives, people are well aware of the degree of its danger.

The black widow is a very unusual spider

Representatives of this order are found almost everywhere where climatic conditions are quite mild. They are widespread in the countries of East and South Asia, America, and North Africa. Some of them are found in Australia and Oceania. Only a few species can live in the northern regions, which are not as dangerous as their heat-loving counterparts.

The spider seems rather inconspicuous, so often a person, due to his own carelessness, becomes its victim. Adults reach 2 cm in length. The female black widow is larger than any of her mates. Despite their increased toxicity, these creatures are characterized by an unremarkable appearance. Local residents in many regions with a tropical climate know what this black spider looks like, sometimes living next to a person’s home, but even this does not always save them from a chance encounter.

The chitinous covering on the paws and cephalothorax is varnished black. Some varieties do not have additional decorations. The most poisonous representative of this genus has a characteristic hourglass-shaped mark on its abdomen. The spot has a reddish tint. The rich red color of this element is very eye-catching and helps many predators determine the degree of danger of the spider.

In some varieties the spot has a pink tint. The steotoda, called the false black widow, is no less dangerous to humans. Despite the external similarity of the creatures, the spot on the abdomen of this spider has a white or orange tint.

Spiders of this species have from 6 to 8 eyes, but they see very poorly and mainly receive all the necessary information by assessing the vibration that comes from various living objects.

A true black widow has short legs that resemble a comb. These creatures have curved bristles on their hind legs. This structure of the legs is necessary for the spider to throw a trapping net when attacking prey.

In addition, black widows weave extremely untidy horizontal chaotic webs. It allows the spider to sense the slightest movement of the victim caught in it. Females of this species are larger and more venomous than males.

A healthy adult can quite successfully survive an attack by this spider. At the site of the bite, extensive tissue death can occur due to their impregnation with toxins.

Typical general manifestations of black widow damage include:

  • mild erythema;
  • muscle spasms;
  • severe pain in the bite area and in the abdomen;
  • salivation;
  • increased sweating;
  • hypertension;
  • anxiety;
  • headache;
  • tachycardia;
  • parasthesia;
  • vomit;
  • urinary incontinence;
  • dyspnea.

Some victims of this spider develop kidney failure. Since black widow venom is neurotoxic, a person may be left with serious damage to the nervous system, which may not have the most favorable effect on his mental state.

For children and the elderly, attacks by these creatures often have fatal consequences. Only timely administration of an antidote can reduce the destructive effect of spider venom on the body.

Only females of this species are characterized by increased aggressiveness. The male, as a rule, flees if he is attacked, and therefore is considered less dangerous to humans.

Black widow lifestyle

These creatures are extremely whimsical in choosing a home. They often settle in the grass of open steppe space, and also in ditches, ravines, cracks in the ground and tree hollows, and rodent burrows. Under certain circumstances, these arthropods can live in people's homes. These spiders got their name because often after mating, the female spider attacks her partner, which ends tragically for him. However, this does not happen in all cases.

Strong males who have mated for the first time in their lives are quite capable of running away from their partner in the future. However, multiple sexual acts deplete their reserves, so when they are already close to death, they often become victims.

Despite the fact that all black widows, regardless of gender, are immune to the poison, weakened males do often become a nutritious snack for their partners. After mating, the female begins to produce offspring. Like other types of spiders, it weaves a cocoon in which it carefully wraps its young.

The spiders usually leave the nest after 8 days. However, they need to moult many times to become sexually mature. The life cycle of spiders living in the northern hemisphere is longer.

Black widows are very effective predators. Their diet includes all types of insects, including praying mantises, which are significantly larger than them. But often small lizards and amphibians end up in spider webs. Such delicacies are not very common in the spider’s diet, since the enzymes that the black widow spider injects into the body of the victim do not always allow the digestion of large prey.

Attention, TODAY only!

Black Widow! Spiders with this name are known to many for their deadly bites. But not every spider is dangerous to humans. Female black widows stand out for their aggressiveness. They are dangerous not only for humans, but especially for males of this species. Females are several times larger in size than males, who are calmer and rarely attack people.

This type of spider is native to North America. But the spiders took root on ships and thus found their way to Australia and Oceania, where they became acclimatized and thrive.


The species of black widow spider should not be confused with the genus of the same name. These are different ranks in the biological classification. This genus of spiders includes 31 species that live on all continents of the Earth. Not all representatives of this genus are dangerous to humans. In the south of Russia and Ukraine lives a representative of the genus - the karakurt spider, whose bite is very poisonous and can cause death.

Distinctive features of the black widow's appearance

The female spider is considered the most aggressive. A photo of a black widow spider will show the full beauty of the females. Its color is jet black with a sheen and a red infinity symbol on its belly when young. Adults are completely black. The body of the spider does not exceed 1 cm in diameter, while the total size of the female spider is about 6 cm. There are 4 thin prehensile legs on each side of the body.


Aggression in many cases is not justified, so when meeting it it is better not to provoke it, otherwise a bite cannot be avoided. Black widows do not attack for nothing; they often protect their offspring. When meeting a spider, it is better to simply walk around it. In the event of a bite when poison enters the human body, the victim will require emergency medical care, without which death is not excluded.

Males, unlike females, are calmer and are not famous for attacks on people. They are several times smaller in size than females with a grayish-brown body color. On the back of males there is an ornament of horizontal and vertical white stripes.


Small spiders, just born, have a pale yellow or white color. Age-related changes in spiders are marked by a change in color according to gender.

Danger of the black widow

For children and older people, bites almost always lead to death, regardless of the specialized care provided. Not even every adult and healthy body can cope with the symptoms after a bite:

  • cramps in the limbs;
  • fever;
  • sweating;
  • headache;
  • acute pain in the abdominal cavity, often reminiscent of exacerbation of pancreatitis and ulcer disease;
  • failure of breathing;
  • arrhythmia leading to heart failure.

All these symptoms appear as the poison spreads throughout the body. Fatal poisoning lasts 15-60 minutes. ultimately leading to death.

Providing medical care will not provide a quick and complete recovery. First aid provides relief from symptoms within a few hours with their resumption in full. The gradual introduction of vaccines and medications allows you to return to normal life in 1-1.5 weeks. Minor health problems observed before a spider bite can worsen and become chronic, and chronic diseases of the nervous and cardiovascular systems can also appear.

Secrets of the black widow

This type of spider got its name due to the cruel treatment of females with males. They simply eat them after mating, and only a few males manage to avoid the fate of becoming lunch. Females spend most of their time sitting on the web with their growing offspring and waiting for easy prey or a male, although they apparently do not distinguish prey well from males of their species. So, the female black widows wait on their web, while the males move around in search of their beloved for mating.

The approach of a male to a web with a female occurs with extreme caution. The initial sniffing of the edge of the web and observing the behavior of the hostess of the “lace” makes it clear whether she is ready for mating or not. Readiness to accept a male for mating is marked by the female creating certain vibrations distributed throughout the web.

But the name itself comes from the behavior of a hungry female, who can suddenly attack her partner and then eat him, without even waiting for mating. Such actions are also observed after fertilization, which caused hunger in the female. We can say that the color of the black widow emphasizes the main role of females.

Having eaten, the female begins to weave a cocoon in which she lays eggs. She hides this cocoon in the shade, for example under a stone or a snag, or in a hole. The female is very aggressive in protecting her young and many bites occur due to people approaching the cocoon.

Spiderlings usually hatch from eggs after three weeks. But mom doesn't feed them. They eat each other. Thus, only the strongest and most cruel children are selected from the cocoon. No more than 12 of these thugs survive in one clutch.

With age, the poisonousness of the black widow increases.

The Karakurt (black widow), increasingly appearing in the central parts of Russia, has a bad reputation as the most poisonous of the class of arachnids. He and his fellow Black Widow family owe this reputation to their deadly bite, which is fifteen times more poisonous than a snake bite. According to statistics, a person who is bitten by a spider of this genus may die within a few days.

The black widow is one of the most famous and poisonous spiders on our planet. Thirty-one spiders belong to the Black Widow genus, which is spread throughout the earth. Due to intrageneric crossings, mature individuals can have a black color with a characteristic shine. With their legs tucked in, they look very much like currants. Karakurt, translated from the Turkic language, means black insect. It is important to know what a black widow looks like, so that when you encounter a spider, you can take the tenth route around it.

Born spiders are about a millimeter in size and are colored brownish-gray. Instead of red dots, they have white dots and stripes. Immature spiders have an hourglass pattern on the underside of their abdomen, which disappears as they mature. They will acquire their characteristic color after the second molt.

The black widow is one of the most famous and poisonous spiders on our planet.

Before maturity, the female spider molts nine times, and the male seven. Therefore, the female has thirteen spots, and the male has four pairs of red marks. With age and molting, the color of females becomes black and only a spot resembling an hourglass shape remains, while the color of males almost does not fade. The size of the Black Widow spider depends on its age and variety.

The female Karakurt has a body size of up to two centimeters, the length of the legs is about five centimeters. She is three times larger than the male. The male is of average size, does not exceed seven millimeters. The body of Karakurts is black, dense, spherical, with red spots on the upper side of the abdomen. Sometimes there is a white border around the spots. Now you know what a black widow spider looks like and it will not be difficult to correctly identify a poisonous individual.

Habitats

Karakurt is a spider found on all continents except the Arctic and Antarctica. Recently, the Black Widow spider has chosen Russia as its habitat. They live in wormwood steppes and inhabit saline and virgin wastelands. They love dry and grassy slopes of ravines, abandoned villages, and courtyard buildings. They feel ideal where there are hot summers and warm autumns. Therefore, we can distinguish several habitats where the black widow lives:

  1. In Kazakhstan, the spider inhabits steppe and saline zones.
  2. In Uzbekistan, three species of karakurt have been recorded: Dahl's karakurt, Thirteen-pointed karakurt and White karakurt.
  3. Crimea is its traditional habitat, and due to climate change and strong warming, its population has increased several times.
  4. Türkiye, Iran and Afghanistan are the habitat of the black widow.
  5. The Russian spider lives mainly in the southern regions, such as the Rostov region, Krasnodar region and in areas bordering Kazakhstan such as the Southern Urals and Altai region.
  6. The southern European individual keeps Spain, Portugal, France and Greece at bay.

The most poisonous species lives in North Africa and America. Its venom is fifteen times more toxic than that of a rattlesnake. The habitat of the Black Widow spider is constantly changing due to climatic conditions.

Having reached sexual maturity, males begin searching for a female. Having found it, it attracts attention to itself by touching the signal threads of the web with its paws. At the same time, he slowly approaches her. A frightened female can kill the spider. It is generally accepted that after mating, the female eats the male. This only happens if the female does not have enough weight at the time of fertilization. In other cases, the male stops eating after mating and dies. This happens regardless of where the Black Widow lives or what species it belongs to.

Now it’s clear why the Black Widow spider is called that. After fertilization, the female spider weaves spherical cocoons for the eggs. Nearby, to secure them, she places a fishing net. A week later, small karakurts hatch in the cocoon and live there until next year.

A year later, when the outside temperature is at least thirty degrees, the spiders emerge from the cocoon through a small hole. While in the cocoon, the karakurt babies have already moulted once. They weave disorderly webs, hunting insects in groups. During prolonged cold weather, spiders can spend up to three molts in the shell that protects them, feeding on weak individuals.

After fertilization, the female spider weaves spherical cocoons for eggs

A week after leaving the cocoon, their first migration begins. To do this, they climb to a height, release a web thread and fly in air currents. The need for migration among the Karakurts is laid down at an instinctive level. This is how they end up in central Russia, where, on the eve of cold weather, they can climb into people’s homes and hide in shoes, underwear and beds. This spider likes to spend the winter in cellars, sheds, and outdoor toilets.

Females are most poisonous in May-June. The venom of the karakurt spider is neurotropic. As a result, both a heart attack and respiratory arrest can occur. If a person is bitten by a female karakurt:

  • At first there will be a slight burning sensation, which will intensify to severe pain within fifteen minutes.
  • Redness or paleness of the face.
  • Two hours later, abdominal pain and vomiting.
  • Temperature increase.
  • Joint and headache.
  • Seizures and arrhythmia.

A bite from an adult sexually mature individual can be fatal

After 1-2 weeks, the pain subsides, but the consequences of the bite for six months resemble shortness of breath, dizziness and sudden fainting. A bite from an adult sexually mature individual can be fatal. Its venom basically has a protein structure, and if you burn the area with fire within two minutes after the bite, the protein will coagulate. However, to do this you need to know what a bite looks like.

What to do if you are bitten

A small red spot appears at the site of the bite. This area swells a little and goes numb. After a couple of minutes everything disappears. The victim must be urgently taken to the hospital. To slow down the absorption of poison into the body you need to:

  1. Apply ice to the bite site.
  2. Restrict the victim's movement.
  3. Transfer to a cool place.

Unfortunately, the bite is noticed too late. And the only antidote is anti-karakurt serum, which is very allergenic and can cause anaphylactic shock. Therefore, it is administered by specialists in a medical facility, while simultaneously administering anti-allergy medications. If you are bitten by a karakurt, you should never drink alcohol, because it increases blood circulation, and the poison will spread throughout the body faster. The Black Widow spider in Russia has recently significantly increased its numbers, so the number of victims has increased.

It is important to do some for residents of those regions where this type of spider is present in order to protect themselves from uninvited guests. It is better to play it safe and follow some rules to prevent an accidental bite, which can be fatal.

But there are living creatures that are not afraid of spiders. Steppe hedgehogs, bats, and bustards enjoy feasting on spiders. A single wasp paralyzes it and lays a larva inside it. The parasites lay larvae directly into cocoons. Crickets break open cocoons and feast on spiderlings.

In nature, there are spiders similar to karakurt, but completely harmless - these are false karakurt. They have a bright red stripe on their abdomen, glossy legs and there is always a web of dead insects around their den.

For a long time, I was eaten up from within by my state of self-dislike, despondency, and disappointment in everything. There was no desire to move forward, but water that stands still begins to stink. Here I was, unpleasant (to myself first of all), “stinking” with my irritability, aggressive attitude, and lack of trust in everyone and everything. At first there were moments when I wasn’t in the mood and didn’t want to see myself in the mirror. Then it became an everyday routine - I didn’t want to look at myself in the mirror, I was disgusted with myself, I saw a creature without goals and desires. Complete zero in the eyes. I asked myself, how is it possible that I’m so young, still just a girl, but there’s no spark or enthusiasm inside. I tried to pull myself together, to curb my fickle moods. I tried to look at the world optimistically and treat myself with love. I knew all the theory well. But nothing moved beyond awareness. I wrote a list of wishes and goals. Used the principles of positive thinking. But it didn’t work.... Yes, I myself couldn’t understand - what do I want? ... More reviews...

With all my heart I want to sincerely thank Alla Anatolyevna for what she did for me. This is a man who is truly in the right place! He is able to help you understand yourself, which some specialists are not able to do. Men! Do you have problems related to sex, uncertainty, fear? Do you want to return everything, but don’t know how? Alla Anatolyevna is your savior! Go and don't be shy! Thank God for helping me meet such a person - a specialist like Alla Anatolyevna....

BEWARE, WIDOW!

A widow is a woman whose husband has died. There can be many reasons for death: a man’s poor health, his personal karma, weak energy. However, such a reason could also be the woman he chose as his wife. Such a woman, as a rule, is surrounded by the deaths and failures of her loved ones. It is these women who are called “black widows.” By the name of the most poisonous spider on our planet, the karakurt spider, whose venom is 15 times stronger than the venom of a rattlesnake. Karakurt spiders tend to eat spiders after they have fertilized them. Actually, this is why they received such a nickname - black widows. “Black Widow” is a woman with strong destructive energy.

This is due to the fact that among widows there is a large percentage of “femme fatales” who bring death or misfortune to their husbands. Moreover, the danger comes both from the combination of one’s fate with the heavy, destructive karma of a widow, and from energy vampirism. There are also combinations of these reasons with the “heavy” karma of husbands. This, according to numerous studies, is a guarantee of the premature death of the widow's husband. For example, “fatal widows” are known whose 10-15 husbands and lovers have died. This is too extensive and regular a phenomenon to be accidental.

The most famous and famous “black widow” of the past was considered a lady from the high society of St. Petersburg, Aurora Karlovna Sternval. Just a few days before the wedding, this very young beauty’s groom tragically dies, and soon the girl accepts a new marriage proposal from her friend A.S. Pushkin, Colonel Alexander Mukhanov. Again a wedding was scheduled, and again on the eve of it a terrible event occurs: Mukhanov dies suddenly... Two years later, Aurora marries again, this time to P. Demidov, a member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. But almost immediately she becomes a widow again... Six years later, Aurora Sternval decides on another marriage. This time her chosen one was the son of the famous writer and historian Andrei Karamzin. This time her husband was killed in the war against the Turks... The last victim of the “black widow” was the poet G. Even the novelist Maslov, who dared to write a poem about this mysterious femme fatale, suddenly became seriously ill while working and soon died in a hospital bed. Until her death, and she died in 1902, Aurora Sternval, although she enjoyed enormous success with the strong half of humanity, never dared to get married again. She knew that a terrible curse was hanging over her. They said that her mother, once angry with her own daughter, rashly cursed all those men who would fall in love with her...

Jacqueline Bouvier, who later became Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, was born into the aristocratic but poor family of John Vernon and Janet Bouvier. Since her youth, Jacqueline has always been surrounded by fans. Jacqueline worked as a reporter for a Washington newspaper. Then she began dating her future husband, young Senator John Kennedy. John Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963; at the funeral, Jacqueline was inconsolable. Soon after John's death, her brother Robert appreciated her elegance. But even after Robert’s death, Jacqueline was not alone for long. In 1969, Jacqueline married Greek billionaire Aristotle Onassis. Even the billionaire was tormented by Jacqueline's extravagance. By the time Onassis became seriously ill, he and Jackie were already living separately, although the divorce was not finalized. Jackie flew to Paris, where Onassis was being treated, on the second day after his death. The first thing she did was call designer Valentino and order a collection of funeral dresses. After Aristotle's death in 1977, Jackie inherited $26 million. The widow Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was not left alone again. Her companion was a prominent businessman, Maurice Templeman. She lived with him for 12 years, until her death. Jacqueline Bouvier-Kennedy-Onassis died on May 19, 1994 from lymphoma.

For the first time, the glamorous writer Oksana Robski married the first person who came to hand. A simple guy, Andrei Antonov, loved to drink and show off. One day, in a fit of anger, Oksana kicked her husband out of the house. And after a while he was killed in a drunken brawl. Soon Oksana began to live with her second husband; a young rich banker gave her expensive foreign cars. But one morning, as soon as he stepped out of the apartment, he fell, shot through and through by several shots. With her third husband, Mikhail Robski, the widow started selling furniture. But suddenly Mikhail disappeared, leaving his wife a sonorous surname and a mansion on Rublyovka. Shortly before his sudden departure, he began to have some big troubles. The writer was going to marry for the fourth time - with the famous football player Igor Shalimov. They scheduled a wedding several times, but it never took place. It is possible that the next groom, after reflection, decided that it was better not to link his fate with the femme fatale.

People started talking about Albina Nazimova after the tragic death of her husband, the famous TV presenter Vladislav Listyev, who was killed on March 1, 1995 with two shots in the back in the entrance of his own house. She worked as a props manager at Ostankino, where she met Vlad. After the death of her husband, the widow inherited shares of the ViD television company from him and became its art director. That’s when she met her next husband, the famous television journalist Andrei Razbash, who died of a heart attack in July 2006.

Alexander Abdulov, who died in January 2008, was the second husband of the beautiful Yulia Meshina. The first husband of the widow of the famous artist was Alexey Ignatenko, the son of the general director of the ITAR-TASS agency Vitaly Ignatenko. Thanks to his father’s connections, Ignatenko was well-known in artistic circles. To his misfortune, he once introduced his young wife to Alexander Gavrilovich Abdulov... Yulia’s first husband died five months after Abdulov’s death. And he died of a heart attack. Just like Abdulov, who, although he suffered from cancer, died precisely from cardiac arrest. And a month later, Yulia’s uncle, Vitaly Meshin, a very rich man who ran the Nikolaev Alumina Refinery, also passed away. Four years before the streak of deaths, her cousin, Ksenia, the daughter of Vitaly Meshina, fell ill with cancer and died. It was in her house that Julia lived for the first time after moving to Moscow...

People have long noticed that very often a widow brings misfortune. Usually her second husband also dies. Where she lives, people get sick and die early. Therefore, widows were attributed the stamp of fate and misfortune. Why is widowhood dangerous?

A man’s daily communication with such a partner turns out to be disastrous for him. Her biofield has the ability to absorb other people's energy. A person nearby suddenly begins to get sick, problems at work befall him, relationships with people around him deteriorate, and accidents occur. On an energetic level, the victim can understand the full danger. Therefore, men often subconsciously try to break up with her. Here the man has two options. The first is to part with this woman as quickly as possible, the second is to urgently turn to an experienced healer who can save the “black widow” from her destructive dark energy and thereby save people’s lives! This process is quite complicated, but in the hands of a true professional it is quite feasible.

As a rule, these women are beautiful and charming. But for some reason, a trail of deaths follows them. Is this a coincidence or is there something worth thinking about?

There are reasons for everything.

Black Widow Blanket

The "black widow" veil is one of the types of severe curses sent to a woman. This curse brings misfortune, illness and death to her loved ones. Often such a curse is imposed through magical influence or pronounced at a moment of strong emotional state. The “black widow” herself does not even suspect that she exudes evil. As a rule, she is also a victim of someone’s ill will.

Karmic widowhood

Widowhood can also be inherited. There are cases when a daughter inherits the fate of her widowed mother, choosing as her husband a man with the same name as her late father. Such a woman usually becomes a widow at the same age as her mother. Often they can live under. one roof. The theory of karma explains this phenomenon very reliably: it is a terrible curse associated with grief. Moreover, most often women themselves are to blame for what happens to them. If each of the “black widows” analyzes her past life, each of them will have in her memory an incident when she herself launched this flywheel.

Guilty without guilt

Widows who initially married a vampire man (seriously ill, dependent, aggressive, etc.) fall under this status. In this case, after the death of her husband, a woman may experience additional misfortunes, as if transferred from him to her. This is due to the fact that her late husband destroyed her protection, does not want to let her go, and after his death she continues to be drained of energy. Or those entities that de-energized him are now connected to her after his death. These women are usually friendly and love to give gifts. Such a woman urgently needs the help of a specialist. For starters, it would be nice to change your surname to your maiden name.

Vampirism

So men need to be careful if they want to throw in their lot with charming widows. In Israel today there is a state law that a woman who has become a widow twice is prohibited from marrying a third time.

In many countries, a custom has developed that when a woman becomes a widow, she seems to drop out of society. The attitude towards her changes. Certain prohibitions are imposed on her. In addition, you cannot use the widow’s things; she is treated like a leper. Inviting a widow to a wedding is still considered a bad omen. In many countries, remaining a widow is considered a great punishment from God. In some tribes, widows were shaved bald.

According to the customs of a number of nations, after the death of her husband, the widow committed suicide. In India, this ritual was called sati and was performed until the 19th century. In China, widow suicide was practiced from the 5th to the 20th centuries. This tradition was intended to protect widows from attacks by outsiders, symbolizing loyalty to the deceased spouse. Among nomadic peoples, suicide was replaced by self-mutilation. Widow killing existed in Mexico and Peru when they were conquered by Europeans, and was observed among modern inhabitants of Africa (Katunga and Yenna) and Australia (New Zealand and the Friendship Islands). In India, the custom of self-immolation of a widow (suttee) persisted in the Brahmin caste for thousands of years and even in our time provoked a stubborn struggle against the English government. Hints of the existence of a custom of killing widows among the Germans are found in the Edda, and Procopius talks about the suicide of a widow among the Heruli; the spread of the same custom among the Slavs is attested by many writers of the 6th - 11th centuries. (Mauritius, Boniface, Ibn Dost, Massoudi, Ibn Foslan, Leo Deacon, Thitmar). For example, among Bulgarians and Serbs, widows rarely remarry; it is assumed that they continue to live with their husband even after his death. In Moravian folk songs, the dead rise from their graves and take their wives and brides to them. In the Russian epic, the hero Potok is buried with his living wife. Among the Ossetians, a widow, mourning her husband, says: “Let me fray and burn,” she cuts off her braid, which she places in her husband’s coffin, which in itself is a curse and damage for her.

In other countries, a widow not only did not commit suicide upon the death of her husband, but could also remarry. In ancient Greek myths, Gorgophone (daughter of Perseus) did this for the first time. The Torah (Old Testament) directly ordered widows to marry relatives of their deceased husbands (see levirate).

Patriarchal society legally protected the rights of widows. This is discussed in the First Epistle to Timothy, in which the responsibility to support widows was assigned to their relatives and the church community. The latter were also supposed to facilitate secondary marriages of widows. In Asian countries, the community and relatives were supposed to support widows (Kazakh “Seven Establishments” by Khan Tauke).

Is it possible for a woman to get rid of such a curse? Of course it is possible, although it is not easy. First of all, a lot depends on the woman herself, on her desire to change her energy. Because this will require not only the masterly work of an experienced specialist, but also the hard work of a woman. Of course, you won’t have to dig holes, but you will definitely need to read prayers.

"Black Widow" lives in America. No, this is not a vamp woman, this is an ordinary shiny black spider with two red spots in the form of a skull on its abdomen.
The female of this spider hangs a simple web on a bush or grass in the hope of catching a fly or mosquito. Male black widows are very rare in nature; they are three or four times smaller than females, weak and non-venomous. After stormy love fights, hungry females happily eat the males, and after a while this insidious eight-armed or eight-legged “female” lays eggs in a web cocoon and becomes a single mother. However, “black widows” are found not only in the animal kingdom. These fatal widows also exist among people, more precisely, among the female half of humanity. According to scientists, psychologists, parapsychologists and esotericists, among widows there really is a certain, and considerable, percentage of such femme fatales who, at best, bring trouble to their husbands, and at worst, death. Moreover, the danger arises both from a man linking his fate with the destructive karma of widows, and from the fact that these women are energy vampires and suck the life and strength out of their husbands. Living by constantly burying your men is considered one of the most powerful curses. Women who buried more than two of their husbands are still popularly called “black widows.”

The most famous and famous “black widow” of the past was considered a lady from the high society of St. Petersburg, Aurora Karlovna Sternval. This still very young beauty, just a few days before the wedding, the groom tragically dies, and soon the girl accepts a new marriage proposal from A.S. Pushkin’s friend, Colonel Alexander Mukhanov. Again a wedding was scheduled, and again on the eve of it a terrible event occurs: Mukhanov suddenly dies...

Two years pass. The beautiful Aurora is getting married after all, now to P. Demidov, a member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. But almost immediately she becomes a widow again... Six long years pass, and Aurora Sternval decides to marry again. This time her chosen one was the son of the famous writer and historian Andrei Karamzin. However, again the young woman was overtaken by an evil fate: her husband was killed in the war against the Turks... The last victim of the “black widow” was the poet G. Even the novelist Maslov, who dared to write a poem about this mysterious femme fatale, suddenly became seriously ill in the process of work and soon died on a hospital bed. Until her death, and she died in 1902, Aurora Sternval, although she enjoyed enormous success with the strong half of humanity, never dared to get married again. She knew that a terrible curse was hanging over her. They said that her mother, once angry with her own daughter, rashly cursed all those men who would fall in love with her...

History knows many “fatal widows,” including Russians, whose up to ten or even fifteen lovers and husbands died. The theory of karma explains this phenomenon very reliably: it is a terrible curse associated with grief.
Such curses, according to psychics, are cast only by unusually powerful sorcerers. At the same time, all esotericists unanimously say that most often women themselves are to blame for what happens to them. If each of the “black widows” analyzes her past life, each of them will remember a case when she or her loved ones cursed in their hearts a man who may have betrayed her by leaving for another woman. This is what, as a rule, becomes the cause of severe resentment, which results in a curse with fatal words. The first person cursed in this way, as a rule, will die seven years after the curse is pronounced, and from that moment the “black widow” begins her fateful life path. And this is also understandable: the curse, being negative energy, does not cease to exist, it simply finds another owner. And in this case, it becomes the one who herself is its source. From now on, men cannot live next to such a “black widow”. It does not matter whether the marriage is official or civil. Every man who is next to such a woman, the bearer of a fatal curse, dies in an unexpected way. Someone may die from a quick illness, and someone may commit suicide. And whatever one may say, their fate is decided in advance. Moreover, according to esotericists, each subsequent husband dies much earlier than the previous husband.

Those who carelessly show signs of attention to such a femme fatale may well suffer. As soon as a man pays attention to the “black widow”, he is marked with the seal of death.
Many women, understanding the gravity of the situation and realizing that they have become “black widows” in order to deceive the fateful coincidence of life, refuse any personal life. I must say, this is the right decision if they do not have children. But, as psychics say, if a “black widow” has children, and especially if they are boys, then they cannot live in peace, believing that the man is not around, which means the issue is resolved. When there is at least some male representative in the house at the same time as her, the blow from the curse automatically falls on him, which means he dies. But if there is no adult man in the house, then the curse automatically passes on to the child boy. Most often, such children do not even live to the age of seven, and those who are already over seven years old need to be wary of the tragedies that await them after each seven-year life cycle.

A lot has been written about the “black widowhood” of the glamorous writer Oksana Robski. They say that every time she managed to get married in revenge, and not out of love. She had a beloved man with whom the relationship did not work out, so Oksana married almost the first person who proposed to her. He turned out to be an unremarkable simpleton, Andrei Antonov, who loved to drink and swagger. Even the birth of a daughter could not save this union. One day, after another scandal, in a fit of anger, Robski kicked him out of the house. And some time later, Andrei died in a drunken brawl. When Oksana got married for the second time, all her friends envied her: a handsome and young rich banker gave her expensive gifts and foreign cars. However, one day, leaving the apartment, he died, shot through and through by the killer’s shots.

With her third husband, Mikhail Robski, the “black widow” was engaged in selling furniture. But one fine day he suddenly disappeared, leaving his wife his sonorous surname in addition to the mansion on Rublyovka. It was rumored that shortly before his sudden disappearance he had some kind of global troubles. The writer was supposed to marry the famous football player Igor Shalimov for the fourth time. They set a wedding day many times that never took place. And it is not at all impossible: someone advised the groom that he should not connect his fate with such a femme fatale. “Black widows,” according to parapsychologists, are possessors of powerful destructive energy against their will. And therefore, the daily communication of such a partner with men literally kills the latter. After all, spouses, being vampires, “suck” the positive energy out of them. Therefore, it is not surprising that sooner or later men begin to get sick. The “black widows” themselves, as a rule, do not even suspect that they exude evil. They think they are sweet, loving and caring. And this is to some extent true: after all, they too are victims of someone’s evil will. This type of curse that is cast on such women is called the “black widow's veil.”

The mystery and mysticism of “black widowhood” still remains unsolved.
What weighs on them - a curse or a psychological attitude that forces them to look for men and put them in the “risk group”? This issue is still the subject of research and debate...
