how to say which way is heaven which way is hell

Question

My husband's cousin said when she was little her grandpa would talk to the water spiders. He would pick one up and ask him which way was heaven and which way was hell. The water spider would always point up. We just wanted to know if anyone knew the saying

Answer 1

Never heard that particular saying in either language, but a translation to Spanish might be "¿En qué dirección queda el cielo y en qué dirección queda el infierno?" Or you could just say "¿Dónde está el cielo y dónde está el ifnierno?" It may be noted here that 'the sky' and 'heaven' are the same word in Spanish, el cielo, so it may not translate perfectly well.
