A favorite herb in North America and in much of the rest of the world, cinnamon is a great Sun herb, showing that planet's influence in its gentle warmth and mild stimulation (in contrast to the more speedy Fire or hotter Mars ). Cinnamon is good for protection and for prosperity magick (for a prosperity simmering pot pourri, combine cinammon with cardamom, cloves, whole nutmegs, and ginger). Because it's often identified as a Fire herb, cinammon is frequently a part of love/sex magick. In terms of its scent, it mixes well with other Sun herbs like labdanum, cedar, and olibanum, which you can combine in incense or grind and macerate in oil (sunflower is a good choice). For a plain cinnamon incense, combine it 2:1 with red sandalwood, or for a bat's blood incense, mix it with dragon's blood resin and myrrh with a touch of indigo powder. Top Non-Magickal Uses Cinnamon is a great anti-fungal, anti-bacterial herb and makes a nice non-toxic bug repellent sprinkled in the kitchen cabinets (in large amounts it even keeps away fire ants as long as it is freshly applied around their mounds). It's great for the digestion and delicious in coffee or cocoa. This cinnamon is nice and strong! Top |
