1 Kan

• The Serpent and Life Force: Symbolized by the snake, Kan represents the serpentine energy at the base of the spine (itz, coyopa, or kundalini—often described as "lightning in the blood")

• The Seed and Maize: Kan governs growth, potential, fertility, and the patient process of a seed unfolding into a harvest.

• Cosmic Connection: It links the Heart of the Sky to the Heart of the Earth, echoing the energy of Q'uq'umatz (the Feathered Serpent), creator and shaper of the universe.
