At the end of its life, the Phoenix is consumed in fire and then reborn as an egg ready to hatch. So too does Bennu represent rebirth and reincarnation in the Almagest religion. He is Fire Ascendant, representing fire in of its uncontrolled aspects (like lightning and wildfires, including fires in nature as well as out-of-control fires that may have been started by men). His month is the fourth month of the Almagest calendar, Bennedaans, which begins on the first day of Spring. He is also the patron of wild magic sorcery. He is shown in the heavens as the constellation of the same name.
