Red Overtone Dragon

Seal 1

Dragon · Imix

Nurturing what wants to be born

Action nurturePower birthEssence being

The Red Dragon is the first of the twenty seals and opens every count of the Tzolkin. It represents what exists before any action: being. Its action is to nurture, its power is birth. Like a source that asks for nothing and nourishes everything, it is a reminder that every beginning must first be received. In the Dreamspell, red is the color that initiates. As a seal of the input time cell, the Dragon receives the new and gives it a first place. It belongs to the Cardinal Earth family and the Fire Clan; in the planet holon it corresponds to Neptune and to the galactic-karmic flow, which runs from the outside in. In Hunab Ku 21, it embodies the Primal Force, the original creative energy from which everything else is born. The Dragon invites you to trust the origin and to give room to a beginning even before it has taken form.

Tone 5

Overtone

Letting your own strength shine

Action empowerPower radianceEssence commanding

Question How can I best empower myself?

The Overtone tone is the fifth tone of the wavespell; with it a new level begins. Its action is to empower, its power is radiance, its essence is commanding. Like an overtone that vibrates along with the fundamental note and gives it brilliance, it gathers the force of the first four tones and makes it act outward. Its question is: How can I best empower myself? In Maya numerals a single bar represents five, a first whole formed by four parts and a center. It belongs to tones 1, 5, 9, and 13, in which the color of the wavespell’s seal recurs. Commanding here means taking charge of your own doing, not that of others. The Overtone tone invites you to use your abilities consciously and to radiate clearly what is already within you.
