Salt is the main ingredient of household “magic” with which experienced housewives solve everyday problems.

For example, in the cold season, you can see some people have bottles of salt on their windowsills. It's all clear - to combat condensation. But why sprinkle salt on the threshold of your own home?

Let's try to figure out whether there are still those among modern housewives who believe in the power of salt to get rid of negative energy accidentally brought into the house by guests or friends.

Why is there salt on the threshold?

As you know, salt is not only a natural preservative.

Many people are familiar with the concept of "Thursday salt". With its help, you can perform a variety of rituals.

You can’t call upon the infernal forces to help you with regular table or iodized water.

However, salt does protect against some things.

In addition to evil forces, uninvited guests in the form of fleas and other insects may appear on the threshold.

You can simply make a protective barrier at the threshold against them. In this case, you do not need to read spells and incantations over the salt.

Residents of private houses and ground floors have long adopted this trick.

And if salt helps protect against evil spells, then this will be an additional bonus.
