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 13
Cosmic
Being whole, then moving on
Action endurePower presenceEssence transcending
Question How can I expand my joy and love?
The Cosmic tone is the thirteenth and last tone of the wavespell. Its action is to endure, its power is presence, its essence is transcending. To endure here means persistence: remaining until the path has been walked to the end. Then the whole is transcended, and the experience of the wavespell condenses into pure presence. Its question is: How can I expand my joy and love? In Maya numerals it appears as two bars and three dots. Thirteen is the number of the movement that keeps the circle of the twenty seals turning without end: after the thirteenth day a new wavespell begins, with a new Magnetic tone. As the last of tones 1, 5, 9, and 13, it brings back the color of the wavespell’s seal once more. The Cosmic tone invites you to look back, recognize what has been achieved, and move on with an open heart to the next stage.
