===== Ritual Uses =====

Cinnamon oil was used as part of a holy anointing oil by the ancient Hebrews. The leaves of the cinnamon tree were woven into wreaths which were used to decorate ancient Roman temples. The Egyptians used cinnamon oil during the mummification process

===== Magical Uses =====

 Cinnamon, when burned as an incense, raises high spiritual vibrations, aids in healing, draws money, stimulates psychic powers and produces protective vibrations. Cinnamon is also used in making sachets and infusions for these purposes.

===== Aromatherapy =====

One of the flavoring ingredients of Coca-Cola.

Slightly crush the bark to release its scent.

Inhale the warm, sweet, spicy fragrance with visualization to strengthen the physical body. The spice energizes us. This additional bioelectrical power is available for use in magical rituals.

The aroma of cinnamon also increases our ability to tap into our psychic minds. In an entirely different realm, inhale the odor of cinnamon with visualization to increase your financial base. See its rich scent oozing with money energy.

It’s best to buy the “sticks” rather than the pre-ground spice, as the scent will be much stronger if you crush them in a mortar and pestle or break the sticks apart between your fingers.

<adm danger Warning>
Cinnamon essential oil is very irritating and should never be used on the skin.
