Wiki / Cassia Cinnamon

Cassia Cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia, also cinnamon cassia) is the most common type of cinnamon bark available in supermarkets. Originating from China, it has a more intense, sharper, and warmer fragrance than true Ceylon cinnamon. As an incense it releases a strong, spicy cinnamon fragrance.

In Chinese tradition, cassia is a symbol of longevity and good fortune. In Western folk magic, cinnamon is used for prosperity incenses, to attract money and success, for protection, and in love rituals. It is said to raise energy, warm, and attract positive forces.

Caution: Cassia contains more coumarin than Ceylon cinnamon – do not inhale in large quantities. Use: Place cinnamon sticks or pieces on incense charcoal.
