It was the Celtic bards who laid down the foundation of inner
wisdom that has come down to us as Arthurian legend, passing their
traditions to the Arthurian romancers of the 12th and 13th
centuries. Thus the Celts provide an immediate bridge that leads to
a very ancient world. Focusing on the Brythonic Celtic material and
the "Taliesin" cult whose lineage preserved the mysteries through
the Mabinogion and other texts, Awen: the Quest of the Celtic
Mysteries reveals the sources of the British sacred tradition right
back to the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, and, as some believe,
further back still to even more ancient sources. Awen is a Welsh
word often translated as "inspiration". However, in its fullness it
has a much deeper meaning, an irradiation of the soul from
paradisal origins. In the context of the Celtic folk-soul it casts
the paradisal pattern by which the people and the land were
harmonised. Through the aligned symbolism of the goddess, the
sacred king and the stars, a compelling picture is built of a
thriving mystery tradition which marries the constellations to the
landscape, exploring as an example the interwoven five-fold and
seven-fold stellar geometry of Moel ty Uchaf stone circle in North
Wales, and the stellar alignments on the landscape of Cadair Idris.
