The god who personifies air and sunlight is Shu.
Shu was one of the primordial gods in the Heliopolitan creation tradition. He represented air, wind, dry atmosphere, and light, placing him between the earth and the sky. His name is often connected with ideas such as “emptiness” or “he who rises up,” fitting his role as the space that makes the ordered world possible.
In the creation myth, Shu and his sister and consort Tefnut were produced by Atum. They became the parents of Geb, the earth god, and Nut, the sky goddess. Geb and Nut were originally locked together, so Shu separated them and held Nut above Geb. This created the space in which humans, gods, and the rest of the manifest world could exist.
Shu was commonly shown as a man wearing an ostrich feather, though he could also appear as a lion or a lion-headed figure. Ra was the major sun god, while Nut represented the sky and Geb the earth. Shu’s sunlight connection comes from his association with light and the solar order, but his central identity is air and the atmosphere.
