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.
PUMA MOUNTAIN LION “CELER – SILENS – MORTALIS” “SWIFT – SILENT – DEADLY” the symbol is simple but straight to the point reminds me of a label you might find on a whisky bottle It is important to recognize the puma and it's relatives are cats of sudden, vigorous action. This being the case, those who share the puma as their totem should be mindful of their tendency to lash out too quickly, or act out in haste. Call upon the patience and observation of the puma before taking action in order to avoid quick and unsavory consequences.
HERPAILURUS JAGUARUNDI “VIM PROMOVET INSITAM” “PROMOTES ONE'S INNATE POWER” “ARDET NEC CONSUMITUR” “BURNED BUT NOT DESTROYED” In the year CD2050, a group of Jaguarundi broke off and headed up the newly forming military government at the Cinnemousun Narrows. Between their unique abilities and the might of the royal army, people started to fall in line. The situation wasn't ideal, and those who refused to join the new coalition where forced underground, if not completely self reliant they turned to other means of getting supplies and thus the world of organized crime was formed.
