An Easy Cinnamon Abundance Ritual

The tradition of blowing cinnamon into your door on the first of the month is one that has gained popularity over the last few years. It is believed to bring good luck and fortune to those who participate in it.

Plus, performing a monthly ritual gives us a sense of structure as well as something to look forward to each month. It’s a great way to incorporate magic into the mundane!
Why Cinnamon?
Cinnamon corresponds with abundance, prosperity, protection, and success. It is said to help us be more in tune with our spirituality, and grants blessings of wealth, love, and power to those who know how to use it.
For hundreds of years, cinnamon has been a natural part of Chinese medicine. Believed to have restorative and healing properties, this spice was incorporated into traditional treatments for all kinds of ailments.
It’s no wonder cinnamon became one of the top seasonings at the dawn of the spice trade: coveted for its potent healing abilities and its robust scent and flavor, cinnamon was also known for its alluring metaphysical benefits. The price of this spice was further driven up with exaggerated tales of it growing only in the deepest, snake-filled dens.

You Will Need
- A sprinkle of cinnamon – that’s it!
Steps
- On the first day of each month, grab your container of cinnamon and step outside the front door of your home or residence.
- With the door still open, sprinkle cinnamon into your hand. Hold your hand out in front of you and step up to the threshold.
- Blow the cinnamon from your hand into your home from outside. As you do so, imagine that your home is being filled with blessings of abundance.
- Finish your ritual with a mantra or affirmation, such as:
“Abundance and prosperity flow swiftly to me,
This month invites blessings for my home and family.”
This is just an example, so feel free to customize your affirmation as you see fit! Just be sure to write it in the present tense, as though the blessings are already yours. That’s because they are! Saying something like “I will receive…” is likely to come true – but who knows when? So give it a definite time frame (such as “this month”) or tell the universe that you already own it and abundance will find its way to you.
When Is The Best Time To Bless Your Home With Cinnamon?
Many witches choose to perform this ritual on the first day of each month, which is a great way to ensure that you are inviting abundance and blessings into your home on a regular basis.
Alternatively, some practitioners do this on the day of the New Moon, choosing instead to practice according to lunar months. If that is a cycle that you feel more connected to (or if you’re unavailable on the first of each month) – then that’s perfectly fine!
Others may choose to perform this ritual the day after the New Moon. Doing so harnesses the energy of the waxing moon, which is said to aid in drawing in blessings or increasing the effects of spellwork.
You can incorporate this ritual as a New Year’s tradition to invite prosperity and warmth into your home for the coming year, or even practice it upon moving into a new residence. Blowing cinnamon into your doorway is such an easy way to incorporate magic into your everyday life, so feel free to adapt this practice in any way that feels right to you!
How To Customize Your Ritual
If you’d like to personalize this spell or kick it up a notch, blend your cinnamon with herbs or spices that correspond with other blessings that you wish to invite into your home. You can even create custom blends for specific months or to celebrate holidays – the possibilities are endless!
Try to avoid ingredients like sugar which may attract insects or pests into your residence. If you’re still lost, here are some great combinations to get you started:
Cinnamon & Basil
The perfect combination to invite blessings in while warding away negativity from the home, cinnamon and basil are two of the most potent – and easily accessible – spices that you can use to bless your home. Blowing cinnamon and basil into your doorway is a great ritual for practitioners who need extra protection or would like to exercise a bit of caution when inviting new energy into the home.

Cinnamon & Rosemary
Perform this ritual with both cinnamon and rosemary to ensure you’re cleansing your home of any negative energy while inviting in prosperity. This can help to clear up stagnancy and other blockages that would otherwise prevent your ritual from working. As an added bonus, rosemary is known to help repel fleas, lice, mosquitoes, and other unwanted insects.

Cinnamon & Bay Leaves
Don’t see a ritual that fits your needs? Use an item such as bay leaves which can be programmed to fulfill your specific intention. If you wish, write your intention on a bay leaf before crushing it, then perform the spell as stated above. Be sure to adjust your affirmations accordingly!

Additional Benefits
Believe it or not, blowing cinnamon into the home is not just a metaphysical practice but also has household benefits! Sprinkling cinnamon throughout your house is also a great way to keep out mice and rats, both who hate its potent smell. Cinnamon is also believed to keep ants away – another great reason to sprinkle it throughout your home!
Creating an abundant life doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes the simplest actions can create powerful shifts. Try blowing cinnamon into your doorway once a month and see what effect it has on your own sense of abundance. What other monthly rituals do you incorporate into your practice?

Are there any alternatives to blowing cinnamon inside the house? We have cats and I’ve read that cinnamon is bad for them.
Hey Alice! In my research, I have found that cinnamon in small doses is considered non-toxic to cats. It is when there are large doses ingested that it becomes a problem. I think blowing a small amount of cinnamon into your door during this abundance ritual will be okay if your cats aren’t close to you, but I’m also not a vet so please don’t take that as 100% true. If you would like a different option, you can look into creating your own abundance blend of herbs, or even a prosperity oil that you sprinkle on your threshold or spray into your home. We have a prosperity anointing oil that could be perfect! Here’s the link: https://spells8.com/topic/prosperity-anointing-oil-recipe/
Hope it works on any entry point to a home. We use the door on the back of the house. The front is a non used door.
That sounds fine to me – it should work!
Hello Alice,
I have seen another spell from a different source that ytilises Basil Oil, Cinnamon, Sea Salt and coins to attract abundance and financial prosperity; however the instruction is to blow the cinnamon & salt into the wind – i.e. from the door outward, as opposed to into the house.
Please can you advise as i don’t want to inadvertantly ‘reverse’ the spell to create the opposite by sending the cinnamon (& salt) in the wrong direction?
Thank you.
PeterF
It sounds like the two spells are for similar purposes with distinct methodologies. Casting both shouldn’t reverse anything.
Thank you very much Megan (apologies for previous name error!).
No worries! 💖 I’m happy to help!
