Eastern European life goddesses are collectively known as the Akkan.
- The Akkan are a group of goddesses who reign over all elements of life, including conception, birth, and fate.
- These four goddesses collaborate to choose a soul and implant it into a body, which is subsequently implanted into the mother's womb.
- Madderakka, Sarakka, Juksakka, and Ugsakka are their names.
- Madderakka is said to be the mother of the three other gods.
