#5: People in my Myth

Ra (Re)
As you know, Ra travels throughout my underworld every night. Ra is a sun god, also labeled as the King of Gods. He is the creator of everything, including the souls that I later receive after they pass on. As you can see, Ra has the head of a hawk, yet the body of a man, with a solar disc atop his head. He is very brave, battling those in the underworld takes the kind of bravery he has. Ra is also a great leader and very noble.







Set MehenOthers who traveled with Ra are Set and Mehen. Set is the god of the desert and Mehen is a protective deity that is a snake that coils around Ra during the journeys. Set is seen with a curved snout, long ears, a thin tail, and a canine body. Because set is the god of storms, war, and chaos he is not a kind god. Mehen is not as evil as Set.






Ma'at Also accompanying them is Ma'at. Ma'at is the goddess of truth and balance, therefore she is kind and helpful to those who need her services. She has an ostrich feather on top of her head and wings on her arms. She is actually the child of Ra. She is a very caring figure.
