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