Copal resin incense burns fresh and fragrant and is said to have a sweet and husky resinous aroma. 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. Copal incense is burned in rituals of cleansing, purification, consecration & exorcisms. Great at cleaning out your home of unwanted energies.Burn the Copal gum along with Myrrh together in your home to cleanse and purify your surroundings.My recommendation and best way is to burn copal & myrrh together first and fill the house starting from the back to the front with a lot of smoke. Once the house is filled with smoke open ALL windows and doors to allow the smoke to clear out. Be sure all smoke is cleared out. Once smoke is cleared close all windows & doors, you must follow up with burning palo santo because once you clear with myrrh and copal you want to bring in positivity, peace, clarity and a calming feeling which palo santo provides.
