Awen Spread: Awen literally means "flowing spirit", and is the Druid term for divine inspiration or blessing. The spread takes the Triune Spread to higher levels, considering the past, present and future on the level of ideas, emotions, and manifestation Spirits of the Circle: According to the Carr-Gomms, druidry recognizes the influence of six factors on the paths we take in life, and who we are. The influence of our genes is represented as the collective Spirit of the Ancestors. The culture in which we are reared is symbolized by the Spirit of the Tribe. The Spirit of Time reflects the time we were born and the times in which we live, and the place we were born and where we spend our lives affect us powerfully as well, shown in the Spirit of Place. The accumulated experiences of previous lives influence us, shown in the Spirit of the Journey, which may sometimes be powerful enough to override all other influences. Finally, there is the Awen, the "gift/blessing/grace of the gods" over which we have little control. Therefore, this spread is used to understand the forces surrounding us and how to handle the gifts or challenges given us.
