Salt as Protection

By On 20 December 2010 · 10 Comments

In the past, I’ve talked about the tradition of using salt to repel or block angry and malicious spirits.

Several people have asked me about this.

By On 10 March 2010 · 16 Comments

“I am possessed. Please help me.”  “My sister needs an exorcism.”  “I think my house has a demon.”
