AKANKE, Demigoddess of Prostitution
Akanke, a former priestess of Marush Hob, was
made into the patron demigoddess of prostitutes. She takes the form
of a beautiful woman, usually with dark hair and blue clothing. She
protects prostitutes from pregnancy and social diseases. Her holy
color is pink. One sacrifices jewelry to her to gain her
attentions.
A priestess of Akanke can also dispel the charm
of a succubus or an erinyes. She can even overcome the charms
of dryads and nymphs.
Priestesses of Akanke are expected to live
life by pleasing others and make money while they do it. Priestesses
of Akanke are expected to extol the virtues of womanhood to as many people
as possible. Worshippers of Akanke do not marry. For them, the
path to enlightenment is one of sexual excess and the accumulation of
wealth.
