Egyptian predecessor to Amun-Ra who
was actually a fusing of two gods, Amun and
Ra, due to a political merging of cultures. Ra
is a sun god and Supreme God of the
Heliopolis pantheon. In his aspect as Atum-
Ra we see that although typically cited as male,
Ra, is cited as generating the first gods from
himself. Because this creation comes in a form
devoid of the human attributes of procreation,
he can be seen as being neither male nor fe-
male. He can also be associated with the Fifth
Element in the Wiccan belief system in that
even though he was neither male nor female
at the point of creation, he was driven to cre-
ate. In his case he is said to have created Tefnut
and her mate Shu through masturbation. They
intern united in the Great Rite and formed
Nut and Geb, thus giving us the four Quar-
ters/Elements, as well as the Fifth Element
(heart/spirit) that brings on the act of sex, the
principle of both separation and union.Rabefihaza—Male—Madagascar
