RA
Ra was the king of the deities and the father of all creation. He was the patron of the sun, heaven, kingship, power, and light. He was not only the deity who governed the actions of the sun, he could also be the physical sun itself, as well as the day.
Ra is the Egyptian word for 'sun'. As a solar deity, Ra embodied the power of the sun but was also thought to be the sun itself, envisioned as the great god riding in his barge across the heavens throughout the day and descending into the underworld at sunset.
When the breath of life was strong and ready, the entity called Atum decided it was time for Creation to begin. An island emerged from the water to support this divinity, who manifested itself in the form of Ra, the sun god of Egypt
Among the first and oldest gods, Ra has existed for eternity. He brought all creation to life and in addition to creating many gods, he brought to life two sons: Osiris and Set.

Signs
The most prominent Ra symbol is the sun, which is usually depicted as a red or gold disk above Ra's head. Sometimes, Ra is actually depicted just as the sun disk flanked by hawk's wings. More commonly, he is a man with a hawk's head. Often, Ra is carrying a scepter and an ankh, the ancient Egyptian symbol of life

Dashavatar is symbolic of evolution of consciousness on this planet.
Matsya (Fish) - the conscious being was restricted only to water, could not live without water, and was not aware of life outside it, and considered that element as the only source of life.
Kurma (Turtle) - the conscious being knew life outside water was possible, and saw that though water was essential, life was possible for a bit outside and on land. Being amphibian is a possible way of life.
Varaha (Boar) - this conscious being, after being through many other life forms, found that land was a better place to live than water, and found greater strength (Boar is considered one of the strongest beasts) here, along with swift movement. Animal nature ruled over this being extensively.
Narasimha (Half man - Half lion) - this conscious being realized that there are aspects that make him human (rational) while other parts of him were animal (compulsive). The conscious being grew more conscious of the difference in these two natures.
Vamana (Dwarf man) - this conscious being became human, although not enjoying full strength, was a bit more rational and less compulsive than the beasts around.
Parashurama (Strong but emotional man) - this conscious being enjoyed full strength of being rational and being human, while still being a slave to emotions in a sense. Emotions dominated him a lot.
Rama (Noble man) - this conscious being had emotions under control, and put duties and responsibilities already set forth above compulsive beastly needs. This being invited truthfulness and other virtues necessary for leading a moral life.
Krishna (Loving and Political man) - this conscious being knew love, politics, and considered both as necessary for life. This being enjoyed the ability to create necessary situations for major changes. The being invited logic, tact and craftiness as well, which was required essential for running things.
Buddha (Meditative man) - this conscious being knew that beyond the gross external materialism there lies another much refined truth, that the consciousness was being tricked by a lot of beliefs / theories and the truth of life got hidden beyond these veils.

Shub Niggurath,The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young
SHUB-NIGGURATH : Yog-Sothoth's wife, Shub-Niggurath is the perverse fertility goddess of antiquity. She is said to appear as a writhing black mass of tentacles and mouths, adorned with the horns and features of a goat that grotesquely spits forth lesser deities. She is the most magickal and generous ( and therefore most worshipped ) of the old-age cults. (Bible of Cthulhu p 56)

Osiris, god of the deceased, was the son and oldest child of Geb, the Earth deity and Nut, the sky goddess. His wife and sister was Isis, goddess of motherhood, magic, fertility, death, healing, and rebirth. It was said that Osiris and Isis were deeply in love with each other, even in the womb.
Osiris, one of Egypt's most important deities, was god of the underworld. He also symbolized death, resurrection, and the cycle of Nile floods that Egypt relied on for agricultural fertility. According to the myth, Osiris was a king of Egypt who was murdered and dismembered by his brother Seth.
Osiris was the brother/husband of Isis, and the brother of Nepthys and Seth. He was also the father of Horus. As well as being a god of the dead, Osiris was a god of resurrection and fertility. In fact, the ancient Egyptians believed that Osiris gave them the gift of barley
