Of all the herbs and spices used in magic, Cinnamon might be the most ubiquitous. It is fiery, but in a Solar way rather than a Martian one; it is more connected to the warmth of sunlight than the raging heat of Mars. This makes it exceptional in love work. Cinnamon Sticks are also commonly added to prosperity recipes, and the powder is blown out of the door on the New Year to usher in wealth. It is especially well suited to favor/charm work directed toward employers. Cinnamon pairs well with other warm spices and with resins, but can dominate lighter aromas.
