LYNX/BOBCAT “VERITAS LUX MEA” “TRUTH IS MY LIGHT”
they almost appear as wind in the shield moving seamlessly in unison
name lynx actually comes from the word light'. Considering this though, there is some interesting information. The Bobcat is often mentioned as the twin and opposite of Coyote. So where coyote is chaos, bobcat is order. In one myth, the Bobcat is outwitted by a rabbit. He traps the rabbit in a tree and the rabbit convinces him to start a fire. It singes his coat giving him the dark bars. The Bobcat is also strongly associated with the wind in many myths. In other myths, the Bobcat was one of the 4 protectors of the evening star (Venus). In Egyptian mythology, the Bobcat (Lynx) is associated with Mafdet, a Lynx headed goddess who was the destroyer of scorpions and other venomous animals. Mafdet was considered a part of Bast though, so ultimately the Bobcat can be associated with Bast as well. In Norse mythology, the Bobcat (Lynx) was associated with Freya. Within the Spiric archetypes I can see Bobcat fitting in with both order and independence.
