Red Overtone Serpent

Seal 5

Serpent · Chicchan

The body knows what is alive

Action survivePower life forceEssence instinct

The Red Serpent is the seal of the body and its readiness. Its action is to survive, its essence is instinct, its power is life force. It feels the warmth of the ground before it moves and responds directly to what is. In this way it is a reminder that the body has a knowing of its own, faster than any thought. Instinct here is not the opposite of consciousness, but its foundation. Red initiates: with the Serpent begins the store time cell, where experience is kept. It belongs to the Polar Earth family and opens the Blood Clan. In the planet holon it corresponds to Maldek, the planet of the asteroid belt, in the galactic-karmic flow. In Hunab Ku 21, it embodies the Serpent Initiate, who consciously lets the force of life pass through. The Serpent invites you to listen to your body and to respond with vitality.

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.
