He is a solar deity who is a creation god and is the manifestation of the Midday Sun. Born from the primordial waters for Nu from and egg. The cosmic egg was said to be laid by a goose or even a gift from Djeḥuty/Thoth said to have been laid by an ibis. He eternally fighting against the horrid snake Apep.

The King is often referred to the son of Ra. 𓅭𓇳.He also ordered the cycles of the three seasons that revolve around the inundation of the Nile. As the creator god he emerged out of the primeval waters called nu on the a mound called benben. Ra is also associated with a child raising out of the primordial waters in a lotus. His creation features a much like that of Kepri and Atum. which is why they often become hybrid gods such as Atum-Ra. One other creation story describes Ra cutting his phallus (perhaps hinting at circumcision) from the blood that fell came Hu (authoritative Utterance) and Sia (knowledge). Since, according to the tradition, Re rested as a day-head at night in the interior of Nut, and was only born again in the morning, his name was not allowed to be pronounced publicly during his night absence. In reverence, and for fear of punishment for breaking this taboo, the Egyptians called Re "the majesty of this God" during this period.

Homage to thee, O thou who risest in the horizon as Ra, thou restest upon law unchangeable and unalterable.Thou passest over the sky, and every face watcheth thee and thy course,For thou hast been hidden from their gaze.Thou dost show thyself at dawn and at eventide day by day.The Sektet* boat, wherein is the Majesty, goeth forth with light;Thy beams are upon all faces;The [number] of red and yellow rays cannot be known,Nor can thy bright beams be told.The lands of the gods, and the lands of Punt* must be seen,Ere that which is hidden [in thee] may be measured.Alone and by thyself thou dost manifest thyself when thou comest into being above Nu*.May I advance, even as thou dost advance;May I never cease to go forward as thou never ceasest to go forward, even though it be for a moment;For with strides thou dost in one little moment pass over the spaces which would need millions and millions of years[For men to pass over; this] thou doest and then thou dost sink to rest.Thou puttest an end to the hours of the night, andThou dost count them, even thou; thou endest them in thine own appointed season,And the earth becometh light.Thou settest thyself therefore before thy handiwork in the likeness ofRa [when] thou risest on the horizon.

Formula for being beside Ra
I am that Ra who shines in the night
Whoever is in his following, lives in the following of Thoth
He makes the appearances of this Horus in the night
N is content for he is one of them
And his enemies are repelled from the entourage
I am a follower of Ra, one who takes up his sky
I have come before you, my father Ra,
I have raced Shu, I have summoned this Great Goddess
I have circled this Hu, and entered alone this dark one in the way of Ra
I have benefited, and reached this noble at the limits of the horizon,
I approach, and take up the Great Goddess, I raise your ba when I am powerful
My ba is in the dread of you, and the majesty of you
I am the issuer of the commands of Ra in the sky
Hail great god in the east of the sky, I descend to your boat O Ra
I have crossed as a divine falcon
I am the maker of commands,
I have come by my power
I direct by my staff
I descend to your boat O Ra
in peace, I sail in peace to the Beautiful West
Atum speaks to me: As for whatever enters this Circle in this million,
In this million in length from prow to stern
the million of waves, every ennead among them on its every side
divided in halves, I say of every way among every million among them,
This is the way of Ra after they circle behind him, doubly so.
