Bearer: 1 Wind (IK)
Trecenas are thirteen-day
periods in the Tzolkin. Each Trecena starts with the Number 1, but with a
different Day Glyph. As a wave of the Thirteen Heavens, the underlying
energy is governed by the First Day Glyph of the Trecena and influences
all thirteen successive Day Glyphs. Being aware of the predominant
energy of the First Day of the Trecena, we can align our intentions with
that energy and allow our goals to manifest.
This Trecena starts with 1
Imix (Crocodile/Alligator/Waterlily) – Beginning - Initiating new
possibilities and concepts – Receptivity and Trust, Earth Mother,
Nourishment, Protection, Primordial Ocean of Possibilities.
The Classic Maya believed
that an earth monster or primordial Crocodile floated in the ocean of
the Underworld. He carried the Earth on his back, nourishing and
protecting all life. Thus, Crocodile supplies humanity with the
underlying primal connection to nature and Mother Earth. The glyph
itself represents a Waterlily, a symbol of beauty, abundance and growth,
and the possibility of ascension out of the primordial soup of
creation.
Out of the void, a spark of fire falls into the primordial ocean of possibilities and creation spirals into life.

With 1 Imix we are starting a
new Tzolkin round of 260 days which ends on 13 Ahau. 1 Imix is a
logical place to begin counting the days. The number 1 and Imix both
symbolize beginning. According to Kenneth Johnson in Jaguar Wisdom,
“this is an arbitrary point of origin. The rhythm of the Sacred Calendar
is circular; many contemporary Calendar shamans insist that it has
neither beginning nor end. Nevertheless, we will follow tradition and
use 1 Crocodile as a convenient ‘beginning’.”
Carlos Barrios in The Book
of Destiny states: “Imox [Kaqchikel language for Yucatec Imix] puts the
mind in a receptive mode, increases spiritual strength, and manages the
energies of change. It provides the power to understand nature’s
messages in order to plan the next steps in one’s life. Imox means the
essence in every sense of the word. It is everything that corresponds to
the left side, the subtle part of humans. It is the unusual and the
eccentric. We need a positive equilibrium on this day because it could
lead to lunacy. It is lizards or crocodiles, the energy that manifests
the hidden or internal side of humans, the powers that are dormant. It
is the essence of our consciousness, our mind. It represents the inner
space of the mind and the connection between concepts. It is the power
that keeps ideas together, the strength of our mind.”
Another representation of
the Trecena is that of a creative wave beginning at 1 and ending at 13,
with the numbers 6, 7 and 8 representing the crest of the wave. The
crest could be interpreted as a strong influential energy, although the
underlying influence on the Trecena would still rest in the beginning.
In this Trecena, the crest falls on 6 Cimi (Transformation/Death), 7
Manik (Deer/Healing Hand) and 8 Lamat (Rabbit/Venus). Cimi energy of
transformation, change and new beginnings falls on the crest of the wave
in the Trecena Imix/Crocodile which is also the beginning of the
Tzolkin. To help with so many new beginnings, we are offered a blessing
and luck. Manik (Deer/Healing Hand) energy offers a blessing for healing
and Lamat or Lucky Rabbit energy offers abundance and the pure joy of
being alive.

Utilize the energies of
Crocodile to open our hearts and live from our hearts. Crocodile offers
the emotional, physical and spiritual strength needed to balance the
vibrational changes occurring now with planet Earth and concurrently
within ourselves.
