Khepri means "He who is coming into being". He was a creator and solar deity. The Egyptians thought that the scarab beetle was capable of spontaneous creation as the baby beetles were seen emerging from the dung. This is why he appeared in this form.

Sekhmet was the goddess of healing and was the daughter of Re. She was also associated with war and battle and helped the king to defeat his enemies with the use of her power through the king himself. Her name means "the powerful one". When Ramesses II was at war with the Hittites, he summoned this goddess to fill him with her power so he could defeat them. It worked too.

Wadjet was the goddess of Lower Egypt. She protected the king alongside Nekhbet. In a previous quiz of mine I asked how many names the king was given, of these five names one of them was his "nebty" or "two ladies" name referring to these two goddesses. The Wadjet Eye and the Eye of Horus are also the same.

Geb was a god of fertility and was the divine personification of the earth. He was seen reclining beneath the arched body of Nut. His daughter was Isis. It was also said that when there was an earthquake it was actually Geb laughing.
