Continuous 'Awen'
Finger Labyrinth

Continuous Labyrinth

Unlike a conventional labyrinth the ‘Continuous Labyrinth’ has no beginning or no end.  The path continues ad infinitum.... “a non-terminating repeating process”.

This removes the possibility of perhaps counting the number of cycles completed or working out where one is on the path or how far one has to go to the beginning or the end.  It leaves one with solely the experience of where one is on the path in the present moment.




Awen

Picture

Awen is a Welsh
 word for inspiration. It is historically used to describe the divine  inspiration of bardsin the Welsh poetic tradition.

The three lines represent rays emanating from three points of light, with those points representing the triple aspect of deity and, also, the points at which the sun rises on the equinoxes and solstices -  known as the Triad of the  Sunrises.

The three lines relate to earth, sea and air; body, mind and spirit;  or love, wisdom and truth. It is also said that the Awen stands for not simply inspiration, but for inspiration of truth; without Awen one cannot proclaim  truth.
The three foundations of Awen are the understanding of truth, the love of truth, and the maintaining of truth
