You’re just going about your day when, all of a sudden, you get a craving for cinnamon. Maybe it’s a cinnamon bun, a sprinkle on your cereal, or even in your coffee, despite the fact that you normally don’t put it there. These cravings can come out of nowhere, with no logical reason, but they often carry a spiritual message. And the one connected with cinnamon is a fascinating one.
Spiritual Meaning
Cinnamon is a highly spiritual and healing spice. While many people associate it with Christmas, baking, or happy times in general, spiritually, it’s linked to prosperity, success, protection, and purification.
In witchcraft, cinnamon is used to cleanse spaces, add extra protection, and, when blown into the home on the first of each month, it’s believed to bring abundance for the weeks ahead.
When it comes to cravings, the meaning doesn’t change much. Spiritually, craving cinnamon could mean that your soul is asking for protection. Perhaps you’re surrounded by negative or toxic people, and your spirit is urging you to protect yourself… maybe by saying “no” more often or stepping away from environments that drain you.
Other times, craving cinnamon can signal that it’s time to open your heart to prosperity. Maybe you’re trying to manifest money using the law of attraction or affirmations, but deep down, your heart isn’t fully open. This craving might be a reminder that techniques and affirmations alone aren’t enough. You also need to embody the energy of already having what you desire, living in the feeling of the result.
Awakening and Purification
On a deeper spiritual level, craving cinnamon may suggest that your soul is seeking more light, wisdom, and consciousness. Cinnamon activates the third eye chakra, which governs intuition and higher thought. A strong desire for this spice can be a sign that your intuition is awakening and that you’re entering a new phase of spiritual growth.
Cinnamon also has natural purifying and cleansing properties. It helps clear negative energy and refresh the aura, so craving it might mean your spirit is ready to release what no longer serves you.
My tip: Try satisfying your craving and notice how you feel afterward. If you sense more clarity, strength, or lightness, chances are your third eye chakra got exactly what it was asking for.
Protection and Cleansing
In witchcraft traditions, cinnamon has long been valued for its protective qualities. Burning cinnamon sticks or using cinnamon essential oil is a common way to cleanse a space and shield it from negativity. Cinnamon is thought to absorb and neutralize harmful energies, making it a powerful spiritual ally.
If you find yourself craving cinnamon or cinnamon-flavored foods, it could be your intuition nudging you to strengthen your energetic protection. As mentioned earlier, this craving may show up if you’re around toxic people. But it can also arise when you’ve moved into a new place where old energy still lingers.
And no, this doesn’t necessarily mean ghosts are hanging around. Think of it more as emotional residue. Imagine someone living in an apartment where arguments, sadness, or negativity happen often. When they move out, that heavy energy doesn’t just vanish with them… it can linger in the space for quite some time. If you’ve recently moved and feel this craving for cinnamon, try sprinkling some around your home as a simple ritual to refresh and protect your space.
My Advice
Before jumping to conclusions, pause and check in with yourself. What’s changed since the craving began? How do you feel when it hits? Have you moved, argued with someone, or started something new? The answer usually lives inside you… if you’re willing to listen, even when that’s not easy.
I tend to crave cinnamon when my energy is low, when I’ve been around “energy vampires” and feel drained. For you, it might mean something different. It could simply be a nudge to open your heart to the abundance that’s on its way.
