Copal Incense Sticks

$2.00

These hand-made incense sticks are made with pure copal resin that is rolled onto a carbon stick and reed. Each stick burns for approximately 90 minutes.

It is not necessary to burn the whole stick at once since it burns, so to put it out for reuse simply break off the tip into a heatproof bowl or incense burner and save the used piece for another time.

The name Copal comes from the name in the Nahualtly language “Copalli” which means resin or sacred incense. It has been used for centuries by indigenous people of Mexico and Central America during ceremonies, cleanses, smudging, healing rituals, and in Mexico, they burn it on the Day of the Dead to purify the souls of the spirits and to elevate the prayers of friends and family to God.
