Copal: A Healer, Protector, & Powerful Guide
Copalli—the Nahuatl word for Copal—is a resin extracted from the Copal tree and has been used in Indigenous practices for thousands of years. Patricia Cortez shares a beautiful article about her memories of her Mamá Trini and how she trained her to work with Copalli in El Salvador. We love the story of how she learned to befriend and honor the Protium Copal tree and the traditional way of using maguey cactus to harvest the copal.
