The Tzolkin Times

The Dreamspell is a visionary reimagining of the ancient Mayan Tzolkin, a 260-day sacred calendar blending 20 glyphs and 13 tones into a spiral of cosmic time. Both a tool and a philosophy, the Dreamspell is designed to synchronize humanity with natural rhythms and galactic cycles, breaking free from the linear Gregorian calendar. Each glyph, from Red Dragon to Yellow Sun, represents an archetype, while the 13 tones pulse with their own energies. Together, they form 20 Wavespells, 13-day journeys that invite you to live their lessons through daily practice. This guide brings the Dreamspell alive with habits to embody each glyph, helping you track synchronicities and uncover their magic. Step into “galactic time” to rediscover your place in the universe’s flow.

Within the Tzolkin there are 20 glyphs, also called ‘Solar Seals’ and they represent solar energy. Each day is assigned to one of these glyphs which are much like teachers or characters, each with a different personality and lesson to teach.
