In a recent show on superstitions, Creator said, “The widespread practice of putting salt at locations, at the borders around a location, as in the four corners of a room of a home to create a kind of sanctuary, might be self-reassuring as a ritual but that is only a self-soothing gesture and not a significant deterrent in any way to spirits and what they can do.” Creator’s use of the word “significant” is noted because that implies that salt might have some properties that are at least disagreeable to dark spirits? Cavendish writes, “All devils are supposed to detest (salt) and no salt should be used in ceremonies designed to attract them. Salt is anti-demonic because it is a preservative. Demons are creatures which corrupt and destroy. Anything that has preservative qualities (including spices) is contrary to their nature, and disagreeable to them.” So while perhaps not a hard deterrent, do dark spirits find salt and spices to be “disagreeable to them?” What can Creator tell us?

All such notions are entirely superstitious in nature and origin, both. These are ideas implanted by the darkness into living humans to create a kind of folly to trick them into doing something that is useless and will, in effect, get a kind of game going where people will try one nostrum and then another, then increase the variety and amounts of the presumed magic substance that can protect them, and that can even reach absurd proportions in a desperate attempt to ward off evil. All the while, they are being mocked and laughed at by the dark forces who set that false idea going by implanting it in the minds of humans. This was done by extraterrestrial interlopers as a kind of cosmic joke and amusement to watch humans flail about and struggle with their fears and deceive them, to give them false answers and useless tools, to then enjoy the consequences of the desperate attempts for self-protection that go nowhere and, in many ways, are counterproductive because spirits know full well, in seeing the trappings of attempted self-protection, there are people at that location living in fear of them and they will join the game as well, to go after those human beings with relish, seeing them as already weakened through fear and ignorant as well about their true helplessness. So, in addition to being worthless as remedies, such practices can make things worse by telegraphing a state of fear and perceived vulnerability—that will always attract the bullies.
