12:03 - Look not behind thee...

Reading an interesting article on the Independent:

Salt is woven into the practice and symbolism of many religions, given as a blessing or used to keep away evil spirits - the tradition persists that if you throw salt over your left shoulder you will keep away the devil, or at least ward off bad luck.

Interestingly enough there is a similar tradition in the region in which I was born: to keep away the devil you should put some salt in the corners of your house. Definitely superstitious.
