Awen is the inspiration of the poet bards and all the poetic inspiration. It's made to inspire you.

Awen which is a Gaelic word for “inspiration” or “essence”. Awen is what sparks an idea and gives it form. Druids embrace creativity as part of their spiritual path. It’s so important to them that many modern Druids use the Awen symbol as the primary symbol of their spiritual path. The three rays of light also symbolize the importance of threes, which is a sacred number in Druidry. The three rays are also said to represent the harmony of opposites in the universe. One example would be that the two outer rays represent male and female energy, and the central ray the balance between them.
