White Copal Incense Log
White copal incense is a type of incense made from the resin of the copal tree, specifically the Bursera tree, native to Mexico and Central America. The resin is harvested by making incisions in the bark of the tree, allowing the sticky sap to ooze out and harden into translucent white or pale yellow lumps.
White copal incense has been used for centuries in Mesoamerican cultures for ceremonial and spiritual purposes. It is often burned as part of rituals, ceremonies, and offerings to the gods in various indigenous traditions. The smoke of white copal is believed to have purifying and cleansing properties, and it is used to clear negative energies, promote spiritual growth, and enhance meditation and prayer.
In addition to its spiritual significance, white copal incense is valued for its pleasant, sweet, and resinous aroma, which is thought to promote relaxation and mental clarity.
