The Dreamspell calendar is based upon the ancient Mayan reckoning of time. Dr. Jose Arguelles reinterpreted the Mayan cycles in a modern context and named it the Dreamspell calendar. There are a total of 20 "Glyphs" and 13 "Tones" which change successively each day until moving through all possible combinations of each glyph (Solar Seal) paired with each tone. This total is 260, which is the number of days in the "Tzolkin", the Mayan's galactic year. In addition to a glyph and a tone, each day has one of four colors: red, white, blue, or yellow. Starting with the first tone and the first glyph, the first day of the Tzolkin is called Red Magnetic Dragon. The next day is called White Lunar Wind, after that is Blue Electric Night followed by Yellow Self-Existing Seed...

The thirteen tones and their attributes:

The Mayan "Tzolkin" Calendar contains some elegant mathematical symmetries when the 260 Kin are mapped onto a 13 x 20 grid. Starting in the upper left-hand corner with the first day of the Tzolkin year, Red Magnetic Dragon, the Kin (days) proceed down the first column with both Tone and Glyph sequentially changing through their 13 and 20 characters. At the end of the first column, the Tone has gone through 1 full cycle of 13 and onto the seventh Tone in its second cycle; the Glyph has gone through its first full cycle and begins again with the first Glyph, Dragon, at the top of the second column.The Tone for the top position of the second column is the eighth Tone, Planetary, and ending that second column with the 1st Tone, Magnetic. So the third column begins with the 2nd Tone, Electric. Note that the first Tone in every other column follows successively the preceding Tone. So in the odd numbered columns starting from the top left, the numbers go 1 through 7 and the even numbered columns complete the Tones, 8 through 13. Each row contains all thirteen Tones. Also note that the difference between adjacent numbers in the rows alternates between 6 and 7, except where 7 occurs (always between 13 and 1) where the difference is 6 on either side of the 7. The darkened squares weaving throughout the grid is called the "Loom of Maya". These days are Galactic Activation Portals, there are 52 in all. Jose Arguelles explains that there are correspondences to the DNA double helix as well as the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching. For more detailed information on the Loom of Maya, read Jose's book, "The Mayan Factor".

Here's a lot from Jose and Lloydine Arguelles on the web at Earth Ascending.

Randy Bruner has calendars available, worked with Jose and Lloydine on the "Telektonon", and also has info on the Dreamspell on his page.

Here you can dial in any day, past or future, and get the oracle of the day. Zebalon's Oracle Dialer will tell you the analog, occult, antipode, and guiding powers for any solar seal with keywords about the influences of each glyph. Great for doing Mayan Dreamspell readings.

There's a message board for discussing the Dreamspell calendar and related subject matter at the 13 Moon Calendar Peace Change Movement.
