Iynx

A Chaldean symbol of universal being, the name of which means "power of transmission." It was reproduced as a living sphere or winged globe and was said to be projected forth by divine mind on the plane of reality, to be followed by two other beings, called "paternal" and "ineffable," and finally by hosts of iynxs of a subordinate character, called "free intelligences."

The iynx was described by occultist Éliphas Lévi as "corresponding… to the Hebrew Yod or to that unique letter from which all other letters were formed," and thus related to the Jewish mysticism of the Sepher Yetsirah or Book of Creation, a primary text of the Kabbalah. For reference to Chaldean concepts, see the complex Gnostic emanations discussed by G. R. S. Mead.
