Good Ole Druidic Womb Poetry, Songs, Stories /|\ Creativity, Questioning, Inspiration, Description /|\ Exploration, Sensation, Navigation What is the foundation of Druidic beliefs? Is there an underlying principle which powers everything Druids, Vates, and Bards do? The simple answer is Yes! It is a primordial life force called Awen. (It is called Imbas in Ireland, Chi in East Asia, Spirit in temples worldwide and The Force in Star Wars movies.) In Druidic magic, Awen is the power and the original source of all known and unknown worlds. Awen is a magical energy that flows throughout the universe. Druids, Vates, and Bards believe that Awen is the magical fabric that everything is made of. Awen is the intense energy that fills us when we experience the beautiful mystery of our place in the world.
