What is Three Rays?
In the name 'Three Rays Animal Apothecary,' there's a beautiful dance of three distinct elements coming together. First, there's 'Three Rays,' evoking the image of light and inspiration reaching out in three directions. Then, there's 'Animal,' a nod to our beloved animal kin who share our journey. And finally, 'Apothecary,' a timeless symbol of healing and care. Together, these elements form a harmonious union, weaving a story of compassion, wisdom, and wellness for both humans and animals alike.
Three Rays
In Celtic tradition, there's a beautiful concept called 'Awen,' which translates to 'Three Rays' in English. It embodies the very essence of life, inspiration, creativity, wisdom, the living principle, the flowing spirit. It’s like a gentle whisper of wisdom that guides us. Picture it as the warmth of the sun, its rays reaching out in three directions to three dots, each one representing a different facet of existence:
- body, mind and spirit
- land, sea and sky
- love, wisdom and truth
- nature, knowledge and truth
- the underworld, middle world and upper world
The number three holds special significance in Celtic lore, adding depth to the symbolism of Awen. It's like a comforting reminder of the interconnectedness of all things, stirring our souls with its profound meaning.
Animal + Apothecary
Think of a quaint corner shop with shelves filled with jars of potions and remedies, reminiscent of a bygone era. This charming place is what the old-world term 'Apothecary' brings to mind. It's where skilled hands craft and provide medicines, a haven for those seeking healing. When paired with 'Animal,' it becomes a special haven tailored for our furry and feathered friends. An 'Animal Apothecary' is a place where care and compassion meet expertise, offering tailored remedies to soothe and mend our beloved companions. It's a place where the magic of ancient knowledge meets the modern needs of our animal companions, ensuring their wellbeing in every paw step and wing beat.
