Many traditions keep cinnamon close for luck in love, courage in speech, and the kind of steady joy that helps a heart feel safe enough to open again.

Ways to work with her

Cinnamon is lovely in simmer pots, teas, and kitchen spellcraft. A single stick laid on an altar brings warmth to a working; a pinch stirred clockwise into food or drink can “sweeten” intentions. She also pairs well with honey, vanilla, orange peel, and clove for comforting hearth rituals.

Notes & care

Cinnamon is potent and warming. Use gently if your body runs hot or sensitive, and avoid heavy internal use during pregnancy unless guided by a qualified practitioner. In magic, a little goes a long way — her strength is in steady ember-heat, not blaze.
