A "AWEN" Mothers Day celebration

Who ever expected that on such a day so many would come together and have a most wonderful time enjoying each others company. We were from all different walks of life yet we had one goal on this day, to celebrate life, love and friendship. Yes it was Mothers Day and we celebrated mothers of all kinds. To me a mother is someone who not only gives physical birth but may be the one who has not given physical birth but spiritual birth. Some give birth to love and kindness. Some give birth to exploration and knowledge. We also celebrated friendship. There were many, many friends who took of their time to give kindness to others. We had tall ones, short ones, skinny ones, round ones, young ones, older ones.  The point being that it is not what the outside appears to be , it is what the soul is, that is what truly shows thru. If our hearts are open, we can truly see the soul of a person and find a friend, a soul mate.  We gathered in the rose garden surrounded by natures trees, butterflies and birds. Even though we decorated for the occasion, none was needed, nature did the decorating . Some of us were old friends and some were new, it did not matter, our souls have meet before and it was as if we were all friends forever. Before I attach photos I leave it to you to imagine 40 plus friends, laughing, hugging, caring , and loving life. We left behind all of the burdens of everyday life to come together as one group  to enjoy life. I pray that we will have many more and that many more will join us. I will at the next blog show you the pictures of all of the friends. This day proved to me that the name of our greenhouse was not guided by us, but by God, our gathering was truly a "AWEN" gathering.

To my dearest friend and soul mate "K", much love in this life and the next lives to come .

To those who have not read the earlier blog, below is the meaning of "AWEN"

The Awen

by Katinka the Broc'h



Repeatedly referred to in the bardic writings is lore relative to the origins of its alphabet, its relationship to trees and the secret name of God.


Writing was invented by Einigid the giant, son of Alser, for the purpose of recording praiseworthy deeds. They were first carved on wooden staves called coel bren. The first three letters were obtained by Menw the Aged, who observed light falling in three rays.


This is the sign known as Awen, which is said to be the name by which the universe calls God inwardly. The Awen is said to represent the letters OIU, from which all the others are obtained. The O relates to the perfect circle of Gwynvyd, the I to the mortal world, Abred, and the U to the cauldron of Annwn. they relate to earth, sea and air; body, mind and spirit; and love, wisdom and truth. The word Awen also means not only this combination of letters but inspiration and soul as well.

The three foundations of Awen are:

To understand truth





To love truth





To maintain truth.




It is said: 'No one without Awen from God can pronounce these three letters correctly'
