This special Copal Blanco (Bursera jorullense) from Mexico is a wonderfully fresh, soft copal resin with a sweet and pleasant aroma. The Aztecs would burn their copal in ceremonies to ward off spirits and clear negative energies. This is a very special type of copal that fosters creativity, and can be utilized for inspiration, celebration, and honoring. It's joyful smell uplifts the spirits and brings you into a meditative state of mind. The indigenous peoples of Mexico still use their Copal religiously when saying their prayers and performing their healing ceremonies.

Place a small piece of copal upon a burning charcoal to let the smoke burn. Bless yourself, your space, and your altar with good intentions.
