Salt was given to kings as gifts and was valued greatly.
Salt predicted weather; when it was moist it meant that rain was coming.
No human being should ever help another with salt, nor anyone let another person help them with it.
When you spill salt, it has been believed true for hundreds of years, that you will have bad luck.
The Devil would lurk behind a person’s chair waiting for a chance to bring evil to that specific person. He would have his wish when salt was spilt, but when the person who spilled it throws some of the salt over their left shoulder, then hopefully it would be caught in the Devil’s eye and would make him so helpless that he would stop his evil plans and go away without harming anyone.
If you are trying to catch a bird, shake salt on its tail.
Don't spill salt, otherwise you will cry as many tears as is takes to dissolve the spilt salt.
