A Spice of Ancient Power
In the quiet corners of ancient spice markets, tucked inside velvet sachets and grimoire pages, dwells a fiery little bark with a mighty spirit — Cinnamon. It crackles with heat and mystery, weaving itself through centuries of ritual and myth. This isn't just a kitchen spice; it’s a spell in stick form — a spark of fire magic, a whisper of ancient warmth, and a guardian of sacred flame.
Whether steeped in a witch’s brew, sprinkled in a money bowl, or burned as a fragrant offering, cinnamon ignites. It moves energy fast, attracts what you desire, and wraps your workings in golden light. Let’s step into the cinnamon-scented smoke and see what this wondrous spice has to offer the modern witch.
Cinnamon has been adored since the time of pharaohs and priestesses. Ancient Egyptians used it in embalming rituals and sacred offerings. The Greeks considered it a gift fit for gods. In the Middle Ages, it was a treasure so precious that wars were fought over it. Cinnamon’s scent alone was thought to lift the soul and awaken divine presence.
Its origin is steeped in heat — both in flavor and in energetic charge. Ruled by the Sun and associated with the element of Fire, cinnamon is bold, bright, and boundless. It's no surprise it’s found in love spells, prosperity workings, protection charms, and even exorcisms.
Magical Properties of Cinnamon
Attracting Prosperity and Abundance
Cinnamon is one of the most beloved ingredients for wealth magic. Its warming, expansive nature draws in money, luck, and success — especially when burned or used in spells during a waxing moon.
Try This:
Sprinkle ground cinnamon across your threshold while saying:
"Abundance come, welcome be, flow like fire, wild and free."
Add a cinnamon stick to your wallet, money bowl, or prosperity jar to attract continual cash flow.
Speeding Up Spells and Energy
Need to speed things along? Cinnamon is like the espresso of witchcraft — it accelerates magical outcomes and gets stagnant energy moving. A sprinkle of cinnamon can give your spellwork a fiery boost when time is of the essence.
Witch’s Tip:
Add a pinch of cinnamon to any spell or oil where swiftness is desired — job offers, returned calls, healed hearts. Just be clear on your intentions… cinnamon doesn’t play around.
Love, Lust, and Sensual Spells
Cinnamon’s warmth makes it ideal for matters of the heart — especially passionate, fiery love. It stokes desire, deepens attraction, and adds spice to both new and long-standing relationships.
Spell Tip:
Burn a cinnamon incense stick while writing a love letter — to a partner, a deity, or even to yourself. Let the smoke wrap your words in sensual heat and courage.
Protection and Purification
Cinnamon isn’t all sweetness and seduction. She’s also a guardian — fiercely protective and brilliant at warding off harm. It has been used to shield sacred spaces and even drive out unwanted spirits.
Cleanse Your Space:
Boil water with cinnamon sticks and orange peel. Let the steam rise through your home while chanting a protection blessing. Pour the remaining water across your threshold to seal your space in safety and light.

Let cinnamon stir your cauldron, wake your senses, and bless your workings with her timeless golden heat.
