Mythology Summary

Supreme Egyptian sun god and creator deity. Born from the primordial waters, Ra creates himself and all existence. Travels across the sky by day in his solar barque, through the underworld by night. Embodies ma'at (cosmic order) and is king of all gods. The ultimate solar deity, representing life force, creation, and divine kingship. All pharaohs claimed descent from Ra.

Modern Practice

THE solar deity for serious solar work. Invoked for vital life force, creative power, leadership, establishing order, and connecting to primal solar energy. Work with Ra for authority, sovereignty, daily renewal practices, and embodying divine kingship. Essential for Egyptian magical practice and deep solar workings.
