In the name of following up every lead and reference, I bought myself an affordable copy of Kees, H., “Der Götterglaube im Alten Ägypten.” There are actually quite a few mentions of Wepwawet, so I’m pleased. In my quick photographing of relevant pages, I also caught part of a section where Kees discusses arrows and some of their symbolism/significance, which I want to review carefully to see what insight might be revealed about the unusual arrow motif on Wepwawet’s standard that I have been tracking for years. Something else of interest: Kees not only points out the use of black for the jackal divinities as something they have in common but suggests a why as well, beyond an association with the dead: It’s rarity. It makes sense that rare colouration could be seen as an indicator of sacredness. 👏👏👏
