What does AWEN mean in Unclassified?

Awen

Awen is a Welsh, Cornish and Breton word for "(poetic) inspiration". In the Welsh tradition, awen is the inspiration of the poet bards; or, in its personification, Awen is the inspirational muse of creative artists in general: the inspired individual (often a poet or a soothsayer) is described as an awenydd. 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'.In current usage, awen is sometimes ascribed to musicians and poets. It is also occasionally used as a male and female given name. It appears in the third stanza of Hen Wlad fy Nhadau, the national anthem of Wales.
