As we get ready to welcome the new year, it’s the perfect time to engage in some uplifting rituals that can enhance our lives over the coming months. There are countless ways to ring in 2025—like wearing certain colors to attract what you desire or using lentils to invite prosperity. But one of the top ingredients people turn to for boosting their energy is cinnamon. This cherished spice is well-known for its purifying, protective, and attracting properties.
To kick off the year on a bright note, here are seven cinnamon-infused rituals meant to invite good fortune, positive vibes, and even love into your life.
Love-attracting for 2025
For this ritual, simply bind a few sticks of cinnamon with a red ribbon and carry it with you from the night of December 31 to January 1. You can choose to wear it as a chic accessory that also exudes a captivating aroma or keep it nestled in your pocket. The essential part is to keep it close throughout the night, directing your focus toward your desire for love.
Sweet flavor of romance
If you're committed to finding love in 2025, begin by tying a red ribbon around your waist on New Year's Eve. At midnight, take a bite of cinnamon and chew it while expressing your heartfelt wish to share life and meaningful moments with someone who aligns with you. After five minutes, spit it out in a natural setting, such as a garden or among the plants. You can also incorporate laurel leaves dipped in honey for this ritual.
Cinnamon and garlic for abundance
Garlic, another ingredient linked to abundance, becomes even more potent when paired with cinnamon. The night before you sleep, place an unpeeled clove of garlic in a small, sealable bag—avoiding black. Add cinnamon sticks or a tablespoon of ground cinnamon.
As you do this, concentrate on your intentions for the fortune you wish to invite—focus on abundance, not scarcity. Take deep breaths, visualize what you desire, and express gratitude. Keep the bag beneath your pillow overnight. The following day, reaffirm your intentions and carry the bag in your left pocket. Repeat this ritual nightly until you achieve your goals, at which point you may dispose of the amulet.
Ritual for success and armony
One widely practiced ritual on social media involves blowing cinnamon from your front door into your home to promote good energy and abundance. To execute this, hold powdered cinnamon in your right hand, set your intention, and blow it inside from outside. Visualize your success and let the cinnamon remain for 24 hours before sweeping it away. This ritual can be performed on the first of each month throughout the year.
Creating peaceful harmony
Burning cinnamon incense or preparing infusions can foster a serene atmosphere in your home. To do this, light a stick of incense or a cinnamon twig while moving through every corner of your space. For an infusion, boil water with a stick of cinnamon for several minutes, allowing the fragrant steam to fill your environment. This practice not only cultivates positive energy but also imbues your home with a warm, inviting aroma during the cold winter months.
Attracting economic stability
Before beginning this ritual, find a peaceful spot to meditate without interruptions. Light a white candle while concentrating on your desires for the new year—whether it’s a new home, your dream job, or financial improvement. Always use wooden matches to light the candle and never extinguish it by blowing.
Combine uncooked rice with cinnamon while focusing on your wishes, employing positive affirmations in the present tense—avoid aspirational language. Place the rice-cinnamon mixture on a small plate surrounding the candle’s base and allow the flame to consume it entirely. Afterward, return the remains to nature.
Prosperity for home or business
On the morning of December 31, boil several cinnamon sticks in sufficient water to clean the floors of your home or business. Use half of the water to mop the floors with a new white cloth and the remaining half to wipe down furniture with a separate new white cloth. Dispose of the used water down the drain and discard the clothes outside your home to keep undesirable energy at bay.
Incorporate cinnamon into your meals
To create a holistic ritual, weave cinnamon into your food and drinks. Its flavor enhances desserts, cocktails, and infusion recipes rich with health benefits. Use this opportunity to prepare a dessert to share with family or friends during your New Year celebration, or enjoy a latte or cappuccino topped with this exquisite spice. Finally, light a white candle as a symbol of harmony and spiritual gratitude.
