Copal is sacred to the indigenous cultures of the Central and South Americas. It is burned year round in the churches in Mexico, but is best known for its use in the homes during Day of the Dead. It is said that the familiar scent of Copal helps the souls find their way back during their annual visit home. This gold Copal resin has a sweet and husky resinous aroma and is useful for creating or enhancing happiness, celebration, invocation and protection.
To use our Shamans Market resin incense, ignite a charcoal tablet, such as Swift Lite Charcoal Tablets, and place the tablet in a fire-safe burning bowl. You may either set a piece of resin incense directly on top of the hot charcoal table or grind the piece to a fine powder and sprinkle on the glowing tablet.
