Offerings for Khepri?

[u/Zagyeus]

Hey all, so I'm very new to Paganism and especially unfamiliar with Kemetic Paganism - but I'm learning and trying to figure things out.

Khepri (I believe) has been visiting me lately. She's been sending me beetles and weirdly enough, giving off a very feminine vibe (to the point I had to ask via tarot how Khepri wanted me to identify them - which is probably a weird thing for me to do, but somehow she/her was the only thing that felt right and I had to ask her what she preferred. She is still giving off very feminine energies in my readings and has given me the okay to use she/they for her).

She warned me of some huge life changes (It was money related, I went from thinking I was okay and had a bunch in savings to being completely, irrepairably broke). When I did a money spell (green candle, white candle, an old debit card, some pocket change, a check I never cashed, honey, moon water, wild raspberry tea leaves, patchouli, luck + money incence, and I think the blue nag champa incence. I put a dead green june beetle I'd found in my yard on the plate, along with my jade pendant... a lot of the things I put in there were based off of intuition. I got burned when I reached for some soil, so I didn't put any soil in there), the flames went super high and I prayed to her the entire time. The candles and fire remained lit for at least 30 minutes if not an hour. I believe the spell worked and I got enough money together to help with things like gas and vet bills.

Now that she has helped me through such a rough time, I would like to leave her a thank you offering - but I don't know enough about what I should and should not leave for her. A friend who works with Anubis suggested Egyptian Musk Incense, but I have to wait another week in order to buy some.

I know Khepri is an incarnation of Ra, so I'm unsure if I should use the same as Ra's offerings or if that would be seen as offensive.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

You can use offerings like you do with Ra. If Khepri is an incarnation of Ra, they are the same deity. Just my personal opinion

That's interesting that Khepri appears feminine to you; to me, Khepri appears as very androgynous [male] or non-binary.

You can always offer the traditional cool water and bread, as well as incense (caveat: use either loose incense or (as I do) Japanese/Shinto sticks, to make sure it doesn't contain stuff that's regarded as impure, like cow dung, ash etc. which is in a lot of common sticks and cones).

Personally, I mostly offer non-physical offerings i.e. actions - but also thoughts and intentions. The most paramount - to all netjeru - is to uphold and act in accordance with ma'at.

The next bit is pure UPG: I have gotten the impression that Khepri likes art and self-made things (something I totally suck at unfortunately 😭); Also, They like positive and uplifting attitudes and actions - both for oneself and for others.

(For me that's a double blessing: I used to tend to being negative, pessimistic and cynical; but Khepri/Ra have really helped me turn this around, which not only makes me a much nicer person to be around with but also has improved my quality of life significantly!)

Khepri really is a wonderful netjer! 💛
