Akuanism is polytheistic and revolves around the worship of ''Akua'' the spirit or Goddess that watches over intelligence life and inhabits taverns. ''Spirits'' in Akuainst tradition are supernatural entities believed to inhabit all things. The link between the Spirits and the natural world has led to Akuanism being considered animistic and pantheistic. The latter are staffed by priests, known as ''[[brewmasters]]'', who oversee offerings of food and beer or ale to cultists. This is done to cultivate harmony between the cultist and Akua and to solicit the Akua's blessing, as Akua loves her temples to be more akin to a Tavern or a community center than a traditional religious building.

In the beginning the land laid bare, hopeless and sober. Thy Akua flew down on a lighting bolt, to breathe life into the empty world. Wielding knowledge of thy heavens Akua made heaven on Urth, with thinking machines that did all the labors and a kegs of wine that never empty. Akua had hair that was as blue as the sea and flowed like a river down to her waist. Her gaze is the same as an iceberg.
