~ RITUAL USE ~
Cinnamon oil
was used as part of a holy
anointing oil by the Ancient Hebrews.
Leaves of the cinnamon tree
were woven into wreaths which were
used to decorate ancient Roman Temples.

Egyptians used cinnamon oil
during the mummification process.

~ MAGIKAL USES ~
When burned as an incense cinnamon
raises high spiritual vibrations,
aids in healing, draws money,
stimulates psychic powers and produces
protective vibrations.

Cinnamon is used in making
sachets and infusions
for these purposes.

~ AROMATHERAPY ~
Aromatherapists reccommend cinnamon
to stimulate circulation and speed
recovery from Colds.
Use an aroma lamp to diffuse the scent
in the air to warm a deep chill or to
recover from an illness.
A cool cinnamon compress
may be applied to relieve
the itching and stinging
of insect bites or bee stings.
Cinnamon is a natural insect repellent.

~ FOR BEAUTY ~
Cinnamon was one of the ingredients
of Carmelite water in the Middle Ages,
and today it is often used
in men's colognes and soaps.
