Awen Pendant, Sterling
Awen is considered a symbol of inspiration and divine illumination for poets, writers, artists and creative. For pronunciation, it can either be said as “ah-when”, “ou-when”, or “ah-oo-en”.
Awen
is a Welsh, Cornish and Breton word for "(poetic) inspiration". Emma
Restall Orr, founder and former head of The Druid Network, defines Awen
as 'flowing spirit' and says that 'Spirit energy in flow is the essence
of life'.
By far the most popular
meaning of the Awen is three rays of light. The number three is a very
sacred number not just in Druidry but also in Celtic culture. The
meaning of each ray of light has different meanings in culture.
Some
believe that they represent three divisions of the soul( mind, body and
spirit). Others believe it represents the three realms we inhabit(land,
sea and sky) Also underworld, middle world and upper world, Love,
Wisdom and Truth
Nature, knowledge and truth.
The
three circles surrounding the symbol indicate the cyclical and timeless
nature of these trinities as well as the three circles of creation.
