Also Akasa. In Hinduism and Buddhism, the all-pervasive life principle or space of the universe, a universal medium in which every single thing is contained, touched and surrounded by. It fills all space and interpenetrates all matter. Hindu philosophy interprets akasha as the ether, the fifth and subtlest element that permeates the universe, acting as the agent through which electromagnetic forces operate. In Buddhism the akasha is space, both space bounded by the material world, and a form of space which is infinite and indefinable, which contains the material world. The notion was introduced to the West in the early twentieth century by Madame Helena P. Blavatsky, cofounder of the Theosophical Society (see Theosophy), who compared the akasha to other interpretations of the universal life force by occultists through the ages, such as the quintessence, that luminous fifth element (invisible to ordinary sight) which was seen as binding together in union or pact the other four elements. According to Blavatsky the akasha forms the Anima Anima Mundi and constitutes the soul and animal spirit of mankind.
An important related term is the so-called Akashic Chronicles (sometimes the Akashic Records, or Book of Life) that, according to Theosophy, are the historical records of all world events and personal experiences of all thoughts and deeds which have taken place, are taking place and will take place on the earth. These are indelibly imprinted upon Akasha and may under normal circumstances be read only by adepts or initiates. Rudolf Steiner, for example, claimed to have consulted the Akashic Records for his descriptions of the mythical lost civilizations of Atlantis and Lemuria. Edgar Cayce also claimed to have obtained knowledge from the Book of Life.

Akashan Witches work with the Elements to create positive change on the Earth, and through a series of deep meditations elicit positive change in their own lives. Akashan WitchCraft is holistic and teaches the student how to maintain their own physical and mental wellbeing, through ritual, yoga, meditation, and dietary fine-tuning. Akashan Witches are expected to have the deepest commitment to their life path. The name 'Akasha' comes from the Sanskrit word kash, meaning 'to radiate, to shine'.

Akasha n: is believed by some mystical doctrines to be a mystical, spiritual substance where "memories" are stored since the beginning of time. It is one of the five elements in Hindu philosophy and is often described as a form of atmosphere or ether. Akasha is thought by some to contain a record of everything that has ever happened, but also everything that will ever come to pass in the future. Theosophists believe that persons with special psychic powers can tap into Akasha or "Astral Light". They achieve this by using their astral bodies or "astral senses" to search for spiritual insights which have been stored for all eternity.
According to ancient Indian tradition the universe consists of two fundamental properties. These are motion and the space through which motion takes place. This space is called Akasha (Tib.: nam-mkhah). It is also believed to be the substance that enables things to step through into reality and gain visible appearance, extension and corporeality.
Akasha relates to the three dimensional space of our sense perception and this is called the "mahakasha". The nature of Akasha is limited not only to this three dimensionality, indeed it is made up of infinite dimensions comprising all possibilities of movement not only physical but spiritual as well.
"Akasha" is derived from the root kash, meaning "to radiate, to shine" It also has the meaning of "ether" believed to be the medium of movement. Akasha is thought to be indivisible, eternal and all pervading.
