Every time I visited my grandmother’s house, I got hit with the warm, cozy scent of cinnamon. There’s something about that spicy sweetness that just makes a place feel like home. Turns out, cinnamon isn’t just for making your house smell like fresh-baked snickerdoodles. For centuries, people have used cinnamon for magical and medicinal purposes.
Blowing cinnamon in your home, especially on the first day of the month, is an old tradition thought to bring prosperity, protection, and good luck. Next time the calendar flips to a new month, give this cinnamon trick a try! Here’s why this ritual is so effective and how to perform it.
The History And Origins of Blowing Cinnamon In Your House
Blowing cinnamon around your house on the first day of each month is an old tradition that dates back centuries. The ancient Egyptians believed cinnamon could attract prosperity and good fortune. Since then, cinnamon has been used in magical and spiritual rituals around the world.
The cinnamon ritual on the first day of the month is meant to attract positive energy and abundance. As you blow the ground cinnamon throughout your home, visualize prosperity, happiness, and success filling each room. The sweet, spicy aroma of cinnamon is said to attract good spirits.
Some also believe that cinnamon has purifying properties, and blowing it around the house on the first of the month banishes negative energy and stale chi from the previous month. The fresh, red-brown powder ignites new life and new beginnings.
How To Perform The Ritual
To partake in this simple magical ritual, gather some ground cinnamon – about 1-2 tablespoons should do. On the first day of the month, go around your house room by room, pinching and blowing the cinnamon in each corner and doorway while focusing your intention on inviting prosperity and positive energy in.
You can say an incantation like, “Negativity out, abundance in” as you blow the cinnamon. Let the cinnamon sit for a day or two before vacuuming to allow the magic to work, then dispose of any leftover powder.
To continue attracting good fortune and positive energy, repeat the cinnamon-blowing ritual at the beginning of each new month. Your home will be filled with the warm, spicy scent of cinnamon, symbolic of an abundant new start and a prosperous new month ahead! This little bit of magic might just brighten your whole month.
Where To Blow The Cinnamon?
If you want to attract more money and good luck, blow cinnamon powder on your front door.
To keep away bad vibes and keep your home clear, blow it in the hallway too.
If you have some more cinnamon powder, blow it in the southeast corner of your living room. That corner is known as the feng shui money corner. The cinnamon powder is supposed to help attract more money, according to feng shui beliefs.
