I think it's interesting that the etymology of the actual word salt comes from sal...which means "sea," as well as salt, right? Anyway...I could write a paper on that, but it seems you already did.

The very first herbalist I studied with ten years ago while doing my undergrad told me how to ward off evil spirits from my home- walk around the home counter clockwise and place a small pile of salt at each corner of the home. I had a heroin addict that had been coming by waking me up all the time asking for rides and money, but never saw him again after I did what she said. It was really amazing because the guy had been by almost everyday for several months knocking on my door and yelling until I responded, but then I never saw him again the last 5 months I was there until I graduated. Ever since then I have learned not to take shamanic/folk herbalore with a grain of salt. Excuse my intended pun, but I just couldn't resist! Hi Brandon,
