Why Everyone’s Blowing Cinnamon Into Their House on the First of the Month

If you’ve ever walked by someone on the 1st of the month puffing cinnamon into their doorway like a sugar-dusted dragon, no—they’re not seasoning the porch. They’re doing a little prosperity ritual.

Here’s the deal:

1. Grab some ground cinnamon.

2. Stand outside your door (face into your home).

3. Blow that cinnamon inside while saying something like: “Money, luck, and good vibes, get in here!”
   

Then leave it there for a bit. Boom. Monthly abundance upgrade.

Cinnamon has been treasured since ancient times, traded as if it were gold. In folk magic, it is the spice of swiftness, wealth, and vitality. To blow it through your doorway is to invite the energy of growth and opportunity to cross into your life.

It is a simple ritual, yet powerful. With a single breath, you transform the first of the month into a moment of intention—a reminder that abundance is as much a state of mind as it is a gift of the universe.

When the cinnamon has done its work, sweep it up with gratitude. And as the month unfolds, watch for the quiet miracles that come on a cinnamon-scented wind.

Pro tip: warn your Roomba. It’s not gonna understand.
