Also if you have an audible account/ are interested in audiobooks or online learning Audible has free audiobook versions of The Great Courses Plus lectures on mythology. They’re great lectures.

Ps. If you’re unaware there’s a fun podcast for the casual myth fan called Myths and Legends. Personally I love Jason’s work — it’s a bit trivialized sometimes but it’s good fun. He has a way of crafting narrative out of an amalgamation of varied stories from myth and folklore.

I'm currently reading this book and it's a pretty good intro to Ancient Egypt and the myths, and there's an index of gods and goddesses with descriptions.

I see! You should definitely read atleast one sort of "basic" Egyptian mythology book, if only so you have a good base. I started with this book and it did the job. If you want any other recs in general for Egyptian religion and magic, just let me know (or look through my posts!). Something else to keep in mind while you learn- Pharonic culture existed for thousands of years, and AE religion and their conceptions of the nature of the gods shifted during that time, so some of the "mystic" texts one can find might treat Set or Djehuty very differently than how they were viewed in the 3rd Dynasty, which is different than the 17th, which is different than during Hellenistic times. Good luck!

I mean I've been at this for less than 2 months and Ra got me into this. But as far as information, Ra is a lesser-known god compared to the others like Horus. However, a book that was suggested for me was https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0195170245/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

There's plenty of info on him you just have to be willing to look as he's still a pretty major god. If a god calls to you that means that they want to work with you. Beginner or not. Hope this helps! :)

Some books I was suggested:

Egyptian Mythology: A Guide to the Gods, Goddesses, and Traditions of Ancient Egypt

The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt

The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt

The Dreamer's Book of the Dead: A Soul Traveler's Guide to Death, Dying, and the Other Side
