The story: The Egyptian Scarab is an ancient good luck charm. In Egyptian mythology, it is associated with the god Khepri. The creator god Ra is said to have taken this form to create the sun. Today, the beetle is used as a lucky amulet. It attracts good luck and prosperity, and its connection to the sun that rises every day also makes it a symbol of eternal life.
