What It Can Point To
- Common purpose: boundary, clearing, drying out what feels heavy, and marking a clean edge.
- Practical check: salt scratches surfaces, damages some stone and metal, dries skin, and can be dangerous if pets or children lick it.
- Avoid it around pets, reachable children, wet floors, delicate surfaces, soil you care about, or anyone told to restrict salt.
- Safer substitute: spoken boundary, clean water on safe surfaces, sweeping, light, or a plain white candle watched safely.

Before You Decide
Read the ordinary cause first. Then read the pattern. If you skip the ordinary cause, you will scare yourself and call it intuition. I do not work that way.
Do not put salt in food, baths, wounds, pets' areas, or children's rooms as ritual treatment. This is not medical, veterinary, pregnancy, poison-control, legal, or cultural-history advice.
