The Maya Tzolk'in

Imix

Tzolk'in day-sign 1 · the Crocodile

The first of the twenty Tzolk'in day-signs — the crocodile of the primal waters from which all life begins.

Imix is the primal water the world begins in: nurturance, trust, and the raw source of new life. It gives and protects by instinct, learning where to set a shore so it does not drown in others' needs.
