Cinnamon Incense: Protection Against Bad Luck & Magic for Love
The Scent of Fire: Smoking with Cinnamon
Smoking with Cinnamon is an ancient practice, celebrated long before the Middle Ages. The famous Egyptian incense blend Kyphi contained Cinnamon as one of its many precious ingredients. It was traditionally an evening incense and remains very popular to this day.
When to Use Cinnamon Incense?
Against a Streak of Bad Luck Smoking with Cinnamon is called for when we are experiencing a lot of misfortune—when a real “streak of bad luck” has caught us. The fiery energy of Cinnamon breaks this cycle.
For Success and Career This incense also attracts success and prosperity during professional and business renewals. In magic, Cinnamon is widely regarded as a “Money Magnet.”
Warmth for the Soul Emotionally cold people, or those who have experienced much trauma and have thus lost their trust in humanity, receive a spiritual “uplift” through a Cinnamon fumigation. It helps them to dissolve their tensions and fears and to open up to other people again. Their soul is surrounded by warmth.
Spiritual Properties: Love and Divination
Furthermore, this incense opens our heart and lets love in. Burning Cinnamon generates positive vibrations and energy. It is said to induce spiritual abilities, such as divination (prophecy).
Its magical properties are:
Healing
Loving
Protective
Psychic / Transcendent
Highly spiritual
Important Notes on Application
The Right Variety (Ceylon vs. Cassia) If you wish to smoke with Cinnamon, please make sure you use Ceylon Cinnamon. It is the “True Cinnamon” (often called Caneel in older texts) and is harmless to our health. (The cheaper Cassia Cinnamon often contains high levels of Coumarin, which is not healthy in large quantities).
Cinnamon Flowers vs. Sticks This incense becomes much gentler if you use the Cinnamon Flowers (dried buds) instead of the sticks. Cinnamon sticks must be crushed or ground before burning. Cinnamon is also excellent for making your own incense cones or sticks.
Blends The scent of burning Cinnamon is earthy, fiery, and distinctively spicy. For a Cinnamon incense blend, additives such as these are suitable:
Cloves
Cardamom
Rose
Anise
Lavender
