This article is not about the character in Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles; see Akasha (vampire)

Akasha is the Hindi/Sanskrit word meaning "aether" in both it's elemental and mythological senses. In Hinduism it is one of the Panchamahabhuta, or "five great elements." In paganism and Wicca, it is the unifying energy inherent in every living creature on the planet, and in all four elements (earth, air, water, and fire) in nature. On the pentagram, akasha is assigned to the fifth top point, and the "other" element. Essentially it is spirit: and soul,the all-encompassing spirit energy of the Goddess and God.
