Cinnamon is an herb with quite the economically rooted background. In this episode I discuss the origins of cinnamon from the island of Sri Lanka, how the Spice Trade centered around the herb, and how cinnamon might have been unwittingly responsible for European exploration in the past few centuries. I also touch on the myth of the Cinnamon Bird, a tale used to keep cinnamon's origins a secret for hundreds of years. I finish up by connecting this factual history to cinnamon's magickal association with wealth, money, and passion, and give you a recipe for easy Cinnamon Crockpot Apples. Comforting and enlightening, the history of cinnamon is a perfect way to start the fall season!
Check out my Mabon Blend, which features cinnamon and other fall flavors to draw the energies of the season into your life.
