Plus I think I might know of other Egyptian Gods and Goddessses besides Set, but I only know of the names, Ra, Mut, Nut, Khnum, Ptah, Nephthys, Nekhbet, Sobek, Sekhment, Sokar, Selket, Reshpu, Wadjet, Anubis, Anukis, Seshmu, Meshkent, Hemsut, Tefnut, Heket, Mafdet, these names I’ve heard from “Playing With The Big Boys, from The Prince of Egypt”, please tell me if some of the names are miss spelled

Nightmare, we have given you the direction in which you should go. It is literally as simple as beginning your research starting with Set because you seem to keep mentioning Him, so I would start there.

Knowing names is different from knowing the Deities [also love Prince of Egypt, and playing with the big boys is a fun song, but it doesn't teach anything, they just list a fraction of their deities] I could say "by the power of Ra" but if I don't believe in or know who Ra is, it's like saying "mashed potatoes please" it holds no real meaning. As I said earlier research yourself and build from there. You seem interested in Set, so just type "Egyptian God Set" or "Who is Set" into google and hit search. Even if your first link is Wikipedia you can use it to learn about him and there will be links, not only at the top to other deities he's associated with [his wife, son, siblings, parents] but at the bottom they will have resources where they compiled their information. You can click on those to go to the main source and read further.

Alright, then it’s settled, with all of your advice, I’ll try to stop beating around the bush, the reason I’m really interested in Set is because something about him stood out to me, the idea that he is very different from the other Egyptian Gods and Goddesses
