Awen

Size: 30,3 x 22,6 cm

Materials: Watercolour on watercolour paper

For the seventh symbol, I picked the Druidic 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.

Having it in your home or workspace will remind you to make time for creativity

I used a fan brush as a stamp to create a pattern for the background.
