How to borrow salt correctly

How often do people living in the neighborhood lend each other small things needed in the household: matches, a little washing powder, a glass of sugar or salt? If sugar and matches are given to neighbors without a second thought, then before borrowing a little salt, most people think: is it possible to do this? The words of mothers and grandmothers come to mind, who claimed that it should under no circumstances be given to strangers.

Why did this question even arise?

Salt is a very important ingredient both in culinary recipes and an integral element of many ceremonies and rituals, which are not always carried out “for good.” Finding a more controversial and problematic element is quite difficult.

It was instilled into the head of every modern person as a child that it is necessary to handle the white granular powder with a pronounced taste with extreme care and precision. After all, even if a grain spills on the floor or table, a quarrel cannot be avoided. And it doesn’t matter that basically the instigator of the quarrel was the one who talked about it. If one of the people who came to the house was unlucky enough to spill the precious product, it was believed that they came to visit with malicious intent.

Previously, careful handling of salt was caused not by superstitions, but by ordinary deficiency. It was too difficult and troublesome to get it. Not everyone could afford to pickle vegetables, or even have lunch using it.

Over time, the powder necessary for cooking became more and more accessible, but the controversy surrounding its use did not subside. Thus, today it is believed that salt can store any information, both negative and positive. Guided by this, people who practice black magic and spell casting spells and curses on it. Subsequently, the crystals are sprinkled into food or under the threshold of houses for enemies, or buried in the ground at a crossroads.

Is it possible to borrow salt, what are the risks?

For the same reason that salt cannot be spilled, it is not recommended to lend it to anyone. If you believe the signs, the one who takes this seemingly ordinary ingredient for preparing first and second courses from someone else’s house can take away with it the happiness of the people living in it.

By giving their salt to a stranger, happy people in whose home there is mutual understanding, respect, love and material wealth, risk giving them away too. A crystalline structure that reads any information will give energy to strangers, taking it away from “its own.”

If an unfamiliar neighbor knocks on the door asking to borrow something, you need to think about the intentions of the applicant. Perhaps it was not in vain that she knocked on your door.

If you can’t get out of borrowing, then you need to give it to a stranger not from hand to hand, but so that he himself takes it from the table in the kitchen or the shelf in the hallway. At the same time, you can say special words: “What’s mine with me!”

Should I take salt back, when is it possible, when is it not?

If we talk about repaying the debt, then salt is precisely the item that is not taken back. If a person borrowed it with malicious intent, you can imagine what a pinch received back from him could bring to your home and life.

It is not worth accepting back such a debt from close relatives, neighbors and friends with whom you have a very good and trusting relationship. Even if they are not up to anything bad, along with the salt they brought from their home, they can take away existing problems, failures and quarrels.

In the event that it is not possible to get out of an unwanted process, you can give a symbolic amount of money for the returned debt. You can turn everything into a joke, and at the same time, thus paying off potential problems.

Is it possible to give or take salt in its original packaging? If it was only recently purchased in a store or market, yes. Such salt has not yet had time to be saturated with someone’s energy and does not pose a danger.
