Tzolkin / Seal 3 of 20
Blue Night
Dreaming, inner abundance, the abyss
Akbal
West
Dreams
Night is the seal of the dream and of abundance that has not yet taken shape. It holds the dark, fertile space where possibility gathers before it becomes real. Night energy trusts the unseen. It knows that what is dreamed with enough clarity eventually finds its way into daylight.
