Copal is a type of resin produced from trees, particularly found in Central America. The resin is crushed and rolled onto these incense sticks for burning.

The scent is very woody, very frankincense forward, slightly hypnotic, with warmer, almost citrus notes.

It is believed that its magical qualities aid with the process of opening to the soul to intuition and inspiration. It is thought to be food for the ancestors, a way of saying thank you.

Copal has been used as a method of divination, as shamans would burn the incense and interpret the smoke.

At other times, depending upon belief, the shaman would cast grains of maize after holding them in the smoke and chanting.

The Zapotecs in Milta, Oaxaca would burn copal under water for finding the cause of fright, as it was thought the underside would reveal a picture. 


Comes in a bundle of 6 sticks

Copal

I actually read about the incense in a mystery novel - and was intrigued. I like the scent - it's not overwhelming, which sage burning can be. I will be ordering more.
