Copal Resin
A sacred, life-force resin for ritual incense, energetic cleansing, and ancient connection.
Copal, from the Copaifera officinalis tree of the Burseraceae family, has been used since ancient times across Meso-America as a sacred incense in ceremony and prayer. Revered in sweat lodge rituals, mushroom ceremonies, and ancestral offerings, Copal evokes a sense of reverence and remembrance. When burned, it releases a sweet, fruity, and lightly citrus fragrance that gently uplifts and clarifies the space.
Resins are the blood and waters of the plant — concentrated expressions of life force that speak to the subtle layers of reality. Like honey from the hive or golden ore from the earth, Copal is a medicine of energy and essence, working beyond the physical to bring presence, stillness, and purification.
This resin is 100% pure and organic, offered for incense purposes only. To release its sacred aroma, place a small amount on a burning charcoal disc or ember. Grinding the resin with a mortar and pestle before burning enhances its smoke and scent.
