Typically, these trees come from tropical climates and their resin has historical uses by indigenous tribes in ceremonial settings. Copal is traditionally burned as incense. The word copal is derived from the Nahuatl word copalli, meaning “incense”. Copal has long been used in ancient Maya and Aztec ceremonies as a ritual offering to the gods. It is still used by a number of indigenous people in southern Mexico and Central America during sweat lodge ceremonies as well as sacred mushroom ceremonies. When burned, copal elicits mentally uplifting and calming effects. Ceremonially, the resin is placed on hot coals for spiritual cleansing. Copal also is a fixative in perfume, where it tends to mellow harsh scents. It plays a role in traditional medicine; the Guarani people of the Amazon use it to heal wounds after battle, and it has a long history of use for various health problems in the West. Copal resin comes in various shades of white, gold, and black, and the scent is slightly different for each kind. Golden copal is most common, and if you pick up a packet marked simply “copal”, that’s what it’s likely to be. Copal is petrified sap and has an appealing sweet scent that makes an excellent base for floral or lighter herbal incense blends. Historical Uses: anxiety, depression, calm, mental clarity, wound healing Mystical Attributes: Copal is excellent for protection, especially when combined with frankincense and myrrh. It works very well as a smudge and is commonly used in sweat lodge ceremonies. Copal incense creates a mellow, magical atmosphere. Copal symbolizes the transformation from the physical to the supernatural. The rising smoke takes prayers to the heavens and the gods. Copal is burned during ceremonies to communicate with the spirits of the dead and is commonly used in Día de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) rituals. This resin is frequently used in ritual purification of both objects and people. It is wonderful for charging objects with Jovian vibrations.
