Cassia Oils
Cassia was one of the principal
spices of the Holy Anointing oil used to anoint
priests, kings and their garments. Likewise the
coming King Messiah's robes will smell of cassia.
The root word, kiddah, in both Hebrew and Arabic,
signifies a strip and refers to the strips of bark
from which the spice is made. In the spiritual sense
cassia speaks of humility, being stripped of pride,
set apart(holy) with a servant's heart. |
| Cassia is an evergreen tree with an aromatic bark, similar to cinnamon, but darker, thicker and coarser. The outer surface is rough and greyish-brown, the inside bark is smoother and reddish-brown. The stems are cut down when the bark is mature. The bark is removed in short lengths and dried, then ground into powder or rolled from both sides toward the center, to form a quill resembling a scroll. An aromatic oil can be derived through steam distillation of the leaves to produce a strong and penetrating fragrance. |
