Beetle Scarab: Synonymous with the Sun and the Sun God (Atum then Ra), the scarab (a translation of Khephri) beetle was thought to have been born from a ball of dung, without recourse to the sexual process. The scarab pushed the sun through the night in a ball of dung. Also depicted as a beetle headed man, Khephri was strongly associated with good luck and magical power, being the creator "He who becomes" (the other translation of the word Khephri). A good force to work with during difficult times ("the dark night of the soul") to change the direction of events.
