Khepri - Natural Bug Repellent - Tobacco, Citronella, and Cedar

Shine like the morning sun and drive away the insect swarm with Mythical Beards latest offering: Khepri. Khepri is a solar deity associated with Ra the Sun god and regeneration, often depicted with a masculine human body and the head of a scarab beetle. These beliefs were likely inspired by the scarab beetle that Khepri shares his likeness with. Ancient Egyptians observed scarab beetles rolling dung balls across the desert sand and covering holes they bored in the ground. Later, newly born beetles would spring forth through the dung that sealed their nest. Therefore, Khepri rolls the sun across the sky, symbolizing the process of renewal and rejuvenation, along with protection, transformation, and new birth. Khepri’s scarab became a popular symbol fashioned into amulets, jewelry, art, and seals. This iconography held special significance in funeral rite and rituals, signifying the hope of renewal in the afterlife. While Khepri may not have been viewed as a major deity in the Egyptian pantheon, his influence on Ancient Egyptian religion outlived the Egyptian empire itself, becoming a popular symbol of protection for Roman legionnaires, wearing the Khepri scarab on their rings.
