which hand do you blow cinnamon in your doorway
You blow cinnamon from your dominant hand into your doorway, standing outside and blowing it inward into your home.
Quick Scoop
- Most modern versions of the cinnamon doorway ritual say to:
- Stand outside your front door with it open.
* Put a pinch or spoonful of ground cinnamon in the palm of your dominant hand.
* Blow the cinnamon into the house through the doorway while focusing on abundance, luck, or prosperity.
- The exact hand (right vs left) is not a strict rule in most guides; they emphasize the hand you use to act with intention (usually your writing or dominant hand).
Right hand vs. left hand
Many online spiritual and witchcraft communities treat the “which hand” question as flexible, not dogmatic.
- Common approach:
- Dominant hand = projecting energy or intentions outward, so it is preferred for blowing the cinnamon in.
- Personalized approach some practitioners use:
- Right hand: for sending out action, money, career, or quick opportunities.
- Left hand: for more intuitive, emotional, or receptive work.
- But this is a personal overlay rather than a core part of the cinnamon-door ritual.
How people are doing it now
Recent articles and forum discussions focus more on direction (inward) and timing (often the 1st of the month) than on which specific hand.
Typical steps:
- On the first day of the month, stand outside your main door with it open.
- Place cinnamon in your dominant hand’s palm.
- Think or speak an intention like welcoming abundance or prosperity.
- Blow the cinnamon into your home through the doorway.
If you feel strongly about symbolic sides (right for giving, left for receiving), you can choose whichever hand best matches your intention, but using your dominant hand is the most widely shared practice.
