BLACK COPAL

Copal is an aromatic tree resin used throughout Mesoamerica. This Black Copal from Mexico is a variant of the White Copal with deeper, grounding, and protective properties, often used for different ceremonial contexts. 
 
When burned, Copal produces a sweet, fresh, piney, citrus-like scent with a resinous, earthy base. The smoke promotes peace, clarity, and protection while dispelling negative energies. It is known for its gentle, cleansing, and uplifting energy.
 
It can be used for the purification of a person or space, for connecting to spirit.  Copal is used to cleanse and uplift the auric body and clear energy blockages. It also provides protection and is used for blessings. Also used to cleanse crystals and areas at home or work or during sweat lodge ceremonies, as indigenous people still do. Copal is used for new beginnings, clearing the old and bringing in the new order. Use it to raise your vibration and bring in love. 
 
White Copal is traditionally burned as incense in spiritual ceremonies and rituals. Often used in offerings to deities, especially in Mesoamerican traditions to honor the gods and ancestors. The Maya believed that copal was helpful for the treatment of all the spiritual diseases including; Susto (Fright), Tristeza (Sadness), Invidia (Envy) and Pesar (Grief).
