The Ritual of the Net: Arachne Solara got the Gods to trap the Devil in an impossible net when he came to Hell to destroy the dead. She mated with him and devoured him. Her child, Time, was born from the union. Sources: "Wyrms Footprints" p.74, "King of Sartar" p.88, CoT "Cosmology" (at www.glorantha.com), and cf. also the Triumph of the Lunar Cosmos article in the "Moonie Madness" section of my homepage (link below).

The Spider's Promise: the reason why the Trolls consented to the Great Compromise (although they enjoyed the Darkness). Source: "Uz Lore" p.12.

The Sunstop: a unique magical catastrophe heralding transformative changes world-wide, in which a giant Spider eclipsed the stationary Sun. Cf. CoT "History" (at www.glorantha.com), and The Last Song of Horned-Ulf ("Wyrms Footprints" p.28ff.)
