awakener
One who rouses
An awakener is someone or something that rouses from sleep, literally or figuratively.
The term often carries spiritual or intellectual weight—a teacher as an awakener of curiosity, an experience as an awakener of conscience.
In religious contexts, an awakener may be one who sparks spiritual renewal or enlightenment in others.
