I doubt they would win any awards, but they might be a good memory aid.

I.

Three things the Awen
Can never covet:
What is beyond it,
What is before it,
And what is above it.

II.

Three verbs of the Awen
Known to the blessed:
Awen is,
Awen transcends,
And Awen manifests.

III.

Three places the Awen
Is always found:
Where there is no sensing,
Where there is no thought,
And where there is no sound.

(An Alternative)

Three places the Awen
Is out of reach:
In human senses,
Human thought,
And human speech.

IV.

Three things the Awen
Gives to thee:
Your cause,
Your form,
And your reason to be.



I had this set of Druidic Beads made. You probably can't tell, but I had the number 137 built into the design. There is one bead for the Earth, one bead for the Sun, and also a couple of beads made from petrified wood. Then three sets of nine beads in different colors for the different grades of druidry. That's one set of colors at least. Some of the British Druids postulate that Bards wore a White Robe, Ovates wore a Red tabard over that white robe, and a Druid put a Black cloak over the red tabard and white robe.

Anyway, why 137? See this:

The Eighty One Triads of Universal Philosophy (studied by Druids . . . Ovates study Natural Philosophy) can be recited on the 27 beads, if one runs through the length three times. The Universal Druid Prayer is also 9 lines (if you count saying an Awen at the end).

*** Blessed be to those who serve the Great Mother and the Horned Father.
