Origin & Lore

Cinnamon is the inner bark of trees in the genus Cinnamomum, traded for thousands of years as a costly spice and temple aromatic. Sweet cinnamon is listed in the holy anointing oil of Exodus, and in folk magick and hoodoo it is one of the great money and fast-luck ingredients, prized for its heat and its speed.

Herodotus was told that cinnamon came from the nests of giant birds, and that Arabians lured the birds down with chunks of meat so the nests would break and drop their sticks. The spice was precious enough to need a legend.

Herodotus, writing in the fifth century BCE, passed on the story of the cinnamon birds, and Pliny the Elder later dismissed it as a tale invented to raise the price. Exodus 30 lists sweet cinnamon among the spices of the holy anointing oil used to consecrate the Tabernacle and its priests.
