Ancient Heritage: Copal, derived from the Nahuatl word 'copalli,' has been sacred to Mesoamerican cultures for over 3,000 years. The Aztecs considered copal to be the "food of the gods" and burned it atop their great temples as offerings. Priests used the aromatic smoke in purification ceremonies, healing rituals, and as a crucial element in major religious celebrations. Archaeological discoveries have found copal in burial sites, suggesting its importance in funeral rites and as a sacred offering to guide spirits.
