She invited the twin witch sisters Maharet and Mekare to commune with the spirits, but they refused. Akasha became a beloved ruler for turning her people away from violence and toward peace.Įventually Akasha became interested in supernatural spirits.

Akasha and her husband Enkil wanted their subjects to turn away from cannibalism and encouraged them to eat grains by farming. She was born over 6,000 years ago, long before "The first pharaoh built the first pyramid." At a young age she married Enkil, the King of Kemet (which would later become Egypt).
