The Witch's Corner - Wiccan Supplies - Copal Resin
Copal
Copal is a white, pale yellow to yellowish-orange gum resin. When
smoldered on charcoal it produces a rich, delicious, piney-lemony
fragrance.
Throught Meso-America copal has been variously used for chewing,
glueing, bringing rain, and purifying meat; it has also been used
as a pigment binder, as a varnishing agent, and as medicine for
several different ailments.

Copal Resin
Latin Binomial: Bursera odorata Form: pieces, resin tears
During the Height of the Mayan Empire Copal was
Ritually Smoldered as Incense for Purification & Consecration...
The Mayans regarded copal resin as extremely sacred, only daring
touch it on their altars with special instruments, not their bare
hands.
It is Still Considered an Essential Ritual Resin to This Day!
If you Like Amber or Frankincense, You'll LOVE Copal!
Wicca / Pagan / Spiritual Uses Include: Burn for protection, cleansing, purification,
to promote spirituality, and to purify quartz crystals and other
stones before use in magic. May be substituted for Frankincense.
A piece of copal may be used as the heart in poppets.
KYPHI INCENSE
This recipe was reconstructed from ancient Egyptian papyri. Although
an ingredient or two may not have translated correctly, this should
be pretty close to the actual incense used in Egyptian temples.
3/4 part Honey 3 part Raisins
1/4 part Copal
1/4 part Myrrh
1/4 part Orris Root
1 part Sandalwood
1/4 part Benzoin
1/2 part Frankincense
1/2 part Cinnamon
Red Wine (enough to moisten mixture)
Benzoin (enough to roll balls in)
Thoroughly grind all ingredients separately, then mix together groups
of ingredients by nature: resinous together, powdery together, etc.
Finally, mix all batches together, add red wine to moisten, then
roll into 5/8" balls and roll balls in benison. Lay out on waxed
paper for a week or so, until firm. The balls can be used when firm,
but for best results, they should be allowed to cure a few weeks.
