Website of Gregory D. Current: Author of The Sy’Arrian Legacy Series
In Welsh mythology, Awen is the inspiration of the poets, or bards. In its personification, Awen is the inspirational muse of creative artists in general. It is also said, 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. ( Awen Wiki )
This website is not merely intended to highlight the world of The Sy’Arrian Legacy Series, although it will be large part of it. My hope is to touch upon the myriad of venues, which fall under the umbrella of content creation.
In my experience, the Awen is not solely about inspiration. It is spiritual, serving to guide my hand in creating what I hope are meaningful stories and memorable characters.
It is also my intent to highlight my own connection and belief system surrounding the five key elements; air, fire, water, earth, and Akasha. Although I consider myself a person of science where facts, logic, and the scientific method are the foundations for successful advancement of any civilization, self-awareness and being comfortable embracing the contradictions are also key elements.
May the Awen lead you, as it has me, towards the source of what truly inspires you to create.
