Why did Ra take the form of man kind? Can I form a story about how he meet mankind and they fascinated him. That they were so weak an helpless but at the same time strong and clever. He was inspired by their creativity that he wanted to be among them. What could his form have been before this, aside from light?
The Secret Name of Ra
Why is there power in a name? What story could I make that explains why the power of a God is hidden in his "true name"? Is it only the all powerful gods, like Ra, Khepera, Tum and Nu or is it all the gods, all people? Or can I combine this with the previous one and say it hides the true form of Ra, by changing his body he has changed his name? Did Isis become a Goddess because she knew the name of Ra?
Death of Osiris
This is why all pharaohs are buried with coffins-to honor Osiris
Isis can call upon Ra because she knows his true name. Its also the reason she is so well loved and honored. People forget that Isis holds the power of Ra, kills with a stare, grants immortality at a whim.
Totally mixing myths here. I want to show a strong independent woman, who is a trickster, but well beloved. Someone who is respected and feared, put her as the power behind the throne
