Dreamspell is a modern companion for exploring the 13 Moon Dreamspell calendar offline. Use the dashboard to see today's Gregorian date, galactic signature, lunar phase, and daily affirmation at a glance. Browse the 13 Moon cycle and Tzolkin grid to study any day, inspect kin details, and follow wavespell timing across the 260-day cycle. Kin Explorer helps you combine tones and seals, study the 20 solar seals and 13 galactic tones, and reflect on group kin blends. The Journal feature lets you save searchable notes tied to dates and kin while keeping your entries local to your device. Dreamspell is presented here as a modern spiritual calendar system. It is not the same thing as the traditional Maya calendars, and the app does not claim to replace or speak for Indigenous Maya knowledge.
