Cinnamon brooms are more than just decorations for fall, and many people use them to bring the scent of autumn into their homes.
They’re usually sold in stores like Trader Joe’s and Home Depot during October and are made with cinnamon oil to freshen the air.
But beyond being a seasonal decor, some people believe these brooms have spiritual significance.
According to Parade, many people—especially those who practice witchcraft or follow pagan traditions—use cinnamon brooms for protection, drawing in positive energy and keeping bad vibes out.
For centuries, brooms have been associated with witches, often seen as tools for cleansing homes of negative energy.
The cinnamon in these brooms is believed to attract abundance and good things. Hanging a cinnamon broom by your door is said to help protect your home, with some people hanging the broom handle-up to welcome guests, and others placing it handle-down to keep unwanted visitors away.
As reported by Parade, people often refresh their brooms by adding new cinnamon oil every year, and even do small rituals to set intentions for the broom’s protective power.
However, those with pets should be careful. Cinnamon brooms and oils can be irritating to cats and dogs, so it’s important to keep them out of reach or use them in a way that won’t harm your furry friends.
In the end, whether for their scent or spiritual meaning, cinnamon brooms add a unique touch to fall homes, combining seasonal smells with personal beliefs and practices.
