a demonic god of the sky. He commands all other
gods, spirits, and demons. Depicted as a jackal,
he is diurnal, being most powerful at noon. An
lives in the highest of the heavenly regions. He
has the ability to judge those who commit crimes
and he created the stars to be his soldiers whom
he uses to punish the wicked. An was considered

to be an active god by the ancient Sumerians and
he was appealed to for assistance, especially in
matters of justice. His sign is that of a royal tiara
with bull horns and his planet is the sun
(although technically the sun is a star and not a
