Salt stories
December 2009
It is unlucky to spill salt as it brings bad luck but throwing a pinch of salt over your left shoulder can rid you of the Devil’s hold.
The myth: It is unlucky to spill salt as it brings bad luck but throwing a pinch of salt over your left shoulder can rid you of the Devil’s hold.
The fact: Salt was once a rare and costly commodity and hence, spilling it would be a loss and therefore unlucky for the person who has spilled it. Also, the negative association of spilling salt being unlucky may have originated from the painting of the Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci, in which the betrayer Judas has accidentally spilled salt.
