Imox Glyph: The glyph signifies a glass of water. The to part is the mouth where it is filled up, and the vertical lines represent its roundness. –Carlos Barrios
Imox is the spirit of rain and water, intrinsically linked with the collective unconscious and the hidden forces of the universe. This nawal represents the womb of creation, the origin from which all thought and life emerge. Imox incubates pure potential and nourishes existence with the vital, amniotic fluids of its boundless seas.
Whether calm or turbulent, its waters move our awareness, immersing us into the left-side of consciousness: the realms of spirit, dreams, the paranormal, and all forms of art. Within this domain lie the mind’s untapped, dormant powers–the secret jewels of human potential.
By embracing its wild, wave-like nature with respect, openness and neutrality, one can better navigate its chaotic, unusual and abstract energies. Imox supports our development by strengthening both mind and spirit, especially when the irrational is balanced with reason and practical action, guiding us toward psychological equilibrium. –Diana P.

Today is Jun (1) Imox, kicking off a new Trecena (13-Day cycle theme) .
1 is birth and beginnings.
Imox’s tunes us to the subtle undercurrents of the self and the world in flux around us. When approached with caution and practicality, its energy helps break through rigidity and the mundane, opening pathways to the magical aspects of life. However, if not navigated wisely, its influence may lead to confusion or lunacy–traits also associated with this day sign.
This 13-day cycle encourages us to pay close attention to dreams and the psychic field of awareness, as they may carry important messages for our growth and creativity, enabling us to decipher nature’s signs and swim with them, moving forward with greater insight.
Governing the neural spaces where concepts link and intersect, Imox brings forth new possibilities, birthing groundbreaking ideas and visions. It invites us to embrace our individuality and recognize when to avoid falling into groupthink or herd mentality.
By connecting with Imox’s element of water-spending time near lakes, rivers, oceans, or streams–we can invite clarity and cleanse our own physical and mental waters with intention. This is an auspicious time to pray for clean waters, for the development of inner powers, and for psychic insights to manifest as material beauty, harmony, and wisdom. –Diana P.
Imox Mesoamerican Mythos:
[Excerpts]:
“In ancient Mayan mythology, the tree at the center of the world grew from the back of an enormous caiman who slumbered in the depths of the primordial sea. This mythic figure, which appears so often in Mayan iconography, is sometimes called the Earth Monster. Imox is the day sign of that primal, pre-conscious beast, and therefore it is symbolic of the beginning of life and existence.
Since the Earth Caiman sleeps in the depths of the primal sea, this is also the day sign governing the sacred energy inherent in the ocean.”
"The ocean is a universal symbol of the collective unconscious or group mind that underlies all of humanity. Here, in the depths of the collective mind, lie the visions, the dreams, and the pre-conscious yearnings that underpin the lives of all of us. Imox symbolizes this aspect of the human mind, and this is why we call it the day sign of the Left Hand."
"When we are deeply under the influence of this visionary, oceanic, pre-conscious side of human nature, we may seem to be at odds with all things reasonable. This is why this day sign is sometimes perceived as an embodiment of madness or lunacy.
Imox represents that aspect of human nature that can be more than a little bit crazy. And yet it is only when we set aside the dictates of 'ordinary reality' that we are able to lift the veil between the worlds and see into other realities.
Some of these alternate dimensions may be treacherous and drive one mad; others are sources for authentic wisdom. Ultimately, the right hand and left hand were not designed to be at odds with each other, but to cooperate."
—Kenneth Johnson
Crocodile & Alligator Spirit Animals:
Ancient beliefs hold the Alligator and Crocodile protect ancient knowledge and wisdom that reaches back to our primal DNA and beyond. Crocodile is not easily fooled and brings a lesson of patience, particularly during new beginnings.
One of the interesting, defining characteristics of Alligator and Crocodile is that their eyes are on top of their heads. Metaphysically this implies the gift of sight – perhaps future-telling, clairvoyance, the ability to see Angelic spirits, etc. This wonder of nature is why it’s hard to spot these animals before they strike. They use their eyes to see without exposing themselves to danger.
Alligator and Crocodile both work with water energy, which represents our emotions, particularly those we hide from the world. Alligator Medicine works toward embracing those feelings and working through them honestly.
All humans have an inner well of wisdom combined with the collective unconscious that guides us through this process with the Crocodile Spirit standing by ready.
In the world of psychology, we hear about the Reptilian Brain. Supposedly it’s the part of the brain that controls dominance, survival, and instinct. Mostly, it’s thought of as the ‘lower’ or ‘base’ part of human action. But all over the world there’s compelling evidence that reptiles and amphibians are capable of love and bonding with humans. -Bernadette King
