Imox Glyph: This glyph signifies a glass of water. The top part is the mouth where it is filled up, and the vertical lines represent its roundness. Imox also represents the rain. –Carlos Barrios
Imox: Associated with powerful psychic forces, Imox represents what is often called the “left side of reality”–those other dimensions, worlds, levels of existence that are unusual, eccentric, or in general deemed outside of what is “normal”.
Accordingly, Imox symbolizes not only the receptivity to communication with or messages from these other realities and the ability to see into other worlds, but also madness, insanity, mental disorder, nervousness, uncertainty, and doubt.
Imox is a difficult day sign, for these things are not simple to navigate or understand; in fact, they can be altogether frightening. Yet Imox also signifies cooperation, especially in terms of the left arm working in concert with the right. –Brigitte Rasine
Diana’s Observations:
Imox—the nawal of fertile creativity and the unusual—flows and expands today with the dynamic currents of Power 11. As the spirit of water, change, and hidden forces, Imox submerges awareness into subtle insight and magic, attuning us to the psychic undercurrents that shape reality. Its dormant energies awaken through 11’s capacity to amplify growth across many channels. On 11 Imox, creative and transformative mental forces are heightened, opening pathways beyond logic for healing and visionary pursuits.
Spreading its creative currents along the renewing essence of the B’atz Trecena, 11 Imox stretches and augments mental power, weaving diverse ideas, perspectives, and insights into a unified stream of fresh possibilities. At its highest, 11’s intense organizing and multiplying forces, blended with the visionary cues of Imox, enhance creative flexibility in projects, relationships, and the understanding of energetic realms. In this synergy, new pathways for self-development and connection are revealed.
Governing the left side, Imox stirs dormant powers and opens subtle apertures for perceiving the subcurrents shaping higher orders of reality. Yet, this same psychic opening can blur boundaries or invite confusion and chaos if not channeled with wisdom and grounded practicality. Imox cautions against disorder, emotional entanglements, and diluted focus, encouraging the purification of mind through partnership with the right side of consciousness—translating insights into effective action.
Balancing spiritual vision with deep earthly roots, 11 Imox amplifies the promise of new beginnings embodied by the B’atz Trecena. Its wild and untamed energy, guided into creative flow, breaks through limitations and invites a journey inward—to dive into the subconscious, unearthing treasures and bringing them into lived reality. Today, individuality emerges in radiant focus, strengthening self-authority and the clarity needed to illuminate a higher purpose and masterful creations. By embracing this expansive current, we learn to harness both chaos and inspiration, merging intuition with intention to light our unique place within the evolving tapestry of existence.

The Crocodile, or Itzam Cab Ain in Yucatec Maya, is a primary cosmic and earth-related deity. Its significance is foundational, representing the earth itself and the primordial waters from which the world emerged.
In Yucatec tradition and across Mesoamerican cosmology, as referenced in texts like the Chilam Balam, the crocodile embodies creation, power, and the duality of water and earth. Its habitat—the murky, liminal space between the land and the water—makes it a powerful symbol of the threshold between different realms.
The crocodile’s powerful jaw and silent, watchful nature are symbols of primal force and unwavering strength. It is a representation of the Earth Lord and a protector of both the physical world and the sacred underworld. The crocodile’s scales are also a metaphor for the rugged, fertile landscape of the earth.
The Crocodile spirit animal can be invoked when one needs to anchor themselves during a time of great change or to tap into their primal, creative energy. It is also called upon for its wisdom in being patient and waiting for the right moment to act, as it is a master of still, focused power.
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
11 Imox Imox does have some positive qualities with regards to creation and nurture, but it is also associated with insanity. It can be seen as the eccentric artist able to beautifully interpret their dreams or sentiment of society through their preferred medium, but who find great challenge living in the physical world. This generally comes as a result of their level of receptivity, they feel everything the collective feels, the joy and the grief.
Imox days are intimately connected with the spirit of the times, but this can also break down to a herd mentality.
The energy of Imox days may sometimes make it difficult to think clearly, especially when it comes to breaking free of the collective. When combined with the powerful and directionless energy of the number 11, a very potent mix may arise.
All that strength combined with so much creative potential could give rise to a work of genius, or it could give rise to an angry mob looking for direction to release the frustration of the collective.
Possibly the most effective use of this day would be as a creative retreat. Disconnect from the media, in particular, get out into nature and allow your creative side to be inspired.
Choose wisely who you let into your consciousness today, you may not realize whose thoughts you are thinking.–Mark Elmy
11 Imox In relation to the energies of the 20 Ch’umilal that we are assimilating during this cycle, before Wajxaqib’ (8) B’atz’ – the Cholq’ij new year, today we receive the power of Ajaw 11 Imox.
“11 Imox created the stones and the trees. It did it within the Sun.” -Chilam B’alam de Chumayel, Maya Yucatec text.
In the chain of Creation Ajaw Imox is the one that brings magic, the one that breaks the structures, the one that manifests the inner powers such as vision, intuition, and dreams. Everything that Tz’ikin provides, Imox develops.
It is the merging of magic and knowledge; the force that allows us to connect with our inner wisdom to activate our powers, to ignite that magical knowledge that resides within us.
Imox gives us the courage to break with the established reality, to become receptive, and to open the space to perception, sensitivity, and to all those unusual experiences that connect us to the magical and energetic plane.
Imox is also the symbol of water, that element that nourishes life. Water is the energy that cleanses, heals, and purifies, it is a power that impels and allows us to flow, it is a powerful and subtle force that breaks up the rigidity. –Denise Barrios
