I am slightly in love with this piece, even if I say so myself. Painted whilst I still lived in France, she's traveled with me back to blighty. "AWEN" She is a meditation muse. A visual shamanic reminder for inspiration. She is the personification of Awen - the Celtic symbol (held in her hands) of the three rays of Light, the triad of creation and motion found in nearly every tradition here on earth. The Pagan / Druid (significantly Welsh, which is so very close to Breton) word for flowing inspiration/creativity/poetry. For divine inspiration. She is most often associated with flowing water, as it's the water that nourishes our soul. She is the moment of clarity when we are still, like the crane. Patient, tranquil, with intention. Until the divine waters wash into our being and quench our thirst. In my painting, not only does her dress flow as water, but all the bubbles of potentiality float about her, some cascading, now ready to be realized. They say that poets and soothsayer are described as awenydds. "I shall sing of the awen, which I shall obtain from the abyss Through the awen, though it were mute I know of its great impulses I know when it minishes; I know when it wells up; I know when it flows; I know when it overflows."

The silk edges are frayed, resting on an framed gold canvas. Frame not included. "Awen" is a term that originates from Celtic mythology and is often associated with inspiration, creativity, and poetic wisdom. It holds special significance in Druidry and modern Pagan practices influenced by Celtic traditions. The concept of Awen is deeply rooted in the spiritual and artistic beliefs of the ancient Celtic peoples. Meaning and Symbolism: The word "Awen" is derived from Old Welsh and translates to "inspiration" or "flowing spirit." It embodies the idea of a divine or cosmic inspiration that flows through individuals, guiding their creative and spiritual endeavors. Awen is often represented by a symbol consisting of three vertical lines, which can be interpreted as three drops of inspiration, three rays of light, or the trinity of mind, body, and spirit. Druidic and Celtic Connections: In Druidry, a modern spiritual practice influenced by Celtic traditions, Awen holds a central place. It's believed to be a force of inspiration and wisdom that connects individuals to the natural world, the spirits, and the collective unconscious. Druids seek to attune themselves to the flow of Awen through meditation, ritual, and communion with nature. Creative Expression: Awen is closely associated with artistic and creative expression, including poetry, music, storytelling, and visual arts. It's seen as a muse that inspires and guides artists, writers, and performers to create works that reflect the beauty and harmony of the universe. And the crane has also been associated with creativity and inspiration. It is often depicted in stories, paintings, and poems as a muse that brings artistic inspiration. Invocation and Ritual: Practitioners of Druidry and related paths may invoke the Awen through meditation and ritual to open themselves to divine inspiration and guidance. This can involve chanting, visualizing the Awen symbol, or spending time in natural settings to connect with the energies of the land. While deeply rooted in Celtic mythology, the concept of Awen has transcended its historical origins and has been embraced by a broader spiritual community. Many people, regardless of their cultural background, resonate with the idea of seeking inspiration and a deeper connection to the universe. Awen is a concept associated with divine inspiration, creativity, and wisdom in Celtic mythology and modern Druidry. It represents a flow of inspiration that connects individuals with the spiritual and creative energies of the universe. The crane is a bird that holds significant symbolism in various cultures and traditions around the world. Its symbolism often includes attributes like longevity, grace, wisdom, and transcendence. Here are some common interpretations of the symbolism of the crane: Longevity: The crane is often associated with long life and immortality. In many cultures, the crane's graceful and unhurried movements are seen as a representation of a life well-lived and a symbol of longevity. Grace and Elegance: Cranes are known for their graceful appearance and movements. Their elegance in flight and their ability to stand and move with poise have led them to be symbols of beauty, grace, and refinement. Wisdom and Knowledge: In East Asian cultures, cranes are often associated with wisdom and knowledge. Their appearance is believed to indicate the presence of enlightened beings or the spirits of ancestors. The crane's long lifespan is seen as a result of accumulated wisdom. Transcendence and Spirituality: Due to their ability to fly high and soar above the earth, cranes are sometimes considered symbols of spiritual transcendence and the ability to rise above the challenges of earthly life. They are often associated with spiritual journeys and enlightenment. Harmony and Balance: The crane's balanced and harmonious movements are seen as representations of the harmony and balance present in the natural world. It serves as a reminder to live in harmony with nature and others. Happiness and Good Fortune: In some cultures, cranes are symbols of happiness, good fortune, and positive outcomes. Their appearance is believed to bring luck and positive energy. Resilience: Cranes are migratory birds that undertake long journeys during their migrations. Their ability to endure challenges and travel great distances has led them to symbolize resilience and determination. Connection with the Divine: Cranes are sometimes seen as messengers between the earthly realm and the divine. Their appearance is considered auspicious and may signify a divine message or intervention.
