She was seen as the matron of civilization as she was one of the people that ushered in a new civilization for the Fey and Okeri that lived within Knomm Grähi.
At the beginning of the Ci Scá Múnt religion, she was also worshipped as a goddess of torture, sex, conspiracy, and betrayal. Solsínabh is still worshipped in these domains to some extent except other members of her family took over most of her domains. Her son Qaydith took over most of the domain of sex, her grandchild Lirepro took over the domain of torture, while conspiracy and betrayal went to Raolegi who was married into the family.

Holidays
Although the Drider Rite is not a holiday the days when the ritual takes place are sacred. Those that are going to become a Drider were allowed to spend time with their families before being taken to Temple of the Spider Queen. The Fey that would become a Drider was treated and bathed before being brought to the alter. The power of The Arachnid Heart Stone would then change them with Flesh Alteration.
The holiday that is celebrated for Solsínabh is Weaving Preparation which had blood sacrifices to Solsínabh in the form of theatrical plays. Since the holiday is celebrated on the last week of summer it was time to prepare for fall which was Solsínabh's season. For her followers it feels like preparing for a mother coming home.
