Cultivating Awen
Regular practice to open oneself to divine inspiration and creative flow.
Awen must be cultivated through practice - meditation, time in nature, creative pursuits, ritual. The more one opens to Awen, the more freely it flows. This ongoing cultivation is central to druidic practice and Celtic spirituality.
Open the door of your heart each day, and Awen will enter.
Awen cultivation is the daily practice that sustains Celtic spiritual life.

- What Celtic tradition says about knowing yourself
Inspiration is described as something you open to again and again rather than receive once. The library cites this to the bardic tradition in general, with no single text behind it, so it is a practice that has been carried forward rather than one recorded in an early source.
