The Story of Copal
Copal
Sacred Resin
Copal (Natural Tree Resin)
Copal has been honoured for centuries as a sacred resin of purification, transformation and renewal. Its bright, uplifting fragrance has long been burned in ceremony to cleanse spaces, welcome new beginnings and deepen spiritual connection.
Associated with clarity and positive transformation, copal is often used during prayer, meditation and ritual, its fragrant smoke carrying intention and creating space for what is ready to emerge.
For generations, copal has held an important place in the ceremonial traditions of Central America, particularly Mesoamerica, where its smoke has been offered in rituals of gratitude, blessing and connection between the earthly and spiritual realms.
