I know what "Awen" means (and it's really more accurate to say it means "poetic inspiration" or anthropomorphically "spirit of inspiration" -- which is where "muse" comes in); that's why I was able to give you some meaningful options. ^^() I also looked up its etymology and it's derived from an ancient root meaning "to blow" and is related to words meaning "breath" and "breeze" and "spirit".

Heck, "inspire" and "spirit" even have that connection in English -- the "-spir-" in both words is the same as in "respiration." So to "inspire" someone is to fill them with breath.
