Description
Mayan Copal Incense Ceremonial Bundles from Guatemala
Sold Individually, e-mail us for volume discount pricing.
Each sacred bundles is approximately 10 inches in length and contains 13 handrolled balls of copal wrapped in husk.
"We call these bundles pom cuilco. "pom" is the K'iche' word for Spanish "copal."
Sometimes the tiny chips of copal resin or pom are wrapped in corn husks, as shown here, but sometimes in banana husks, depending on the region.
Pom cuilco is one of the most important components in a fire ceremony, also one of the hardest to find outside of Guatemala (take it from one who has tried).
One of the little ties is removed, and a few chunks or chips of copal are pushed out of the husk and into the fire at intervals. This is done at various (sometimes improvised)
times in the fire ceremony, but always when calling the nawales or spirits of the day signs. The daykeeper who is chanting the names of the 260 days will shake a few chunks of pom
out of the husk every now and then as he calls upon the day lords. So in that respect the pom cuilco may be seen as an offering to the spirits of the days themselves."
