The Mayan Tzolkin is a sacred, ancient calendar. Within its 260-day cycle, I was born on day 38. This illustration is inspired by my own birth kin, White Crystal Mirror, and its hidden kin, Blue Lunar Night.

Etznab represents the infinite, the symmetrical order of the universe, where the inner and outer worlds reflect each other. This seal is also known as the Knife, embodying the attribute of clairvoyance and the power to cut through illusions 
(this illustration is mine :)

Akbal represents the inner world, the abundance, the unconscious, and the language of dreams. It’s also called the House because it symbolizes the inner space.
(this illustration is also mine :)

Since these energies truly work together, I wanted to create a sense of unity between them in my illustration. The feminine figure holds a crystal knife in her hands, cutting through the nocturnal veil that separates the inner world from the outer.

Her eyes, though closed, shine brightly through the veil in the darkness, reflecting a state of dreamlike lucidity and mental peace.

As she cuts the veil, vibrant plants bloom behind her, symbolizing growth and inner flourishing.

In the Tzolkin, each solar seal has a hidden seal. Etznab (the mirror, the knife) and Akbal (the night, the house) are hidden from one another because they represent two sides of the same coin.
