Don't spill the salt. Although some people believe that Judas spilt salt during the last supper, this claim can't be proven. Salt was a very precious expensive commodity in the middle ages. It was also used for medicinal purposes. If you spilled any, you must immediately throw it over your left shoulder to strike the nasty spirits in the eye, thus preventing sickness

It is universally considered unlucky to spill salt; if both salt and pepper are spilt at the same time, the force of this ill omen is doubled. If you help a person to salt, you will help him to sorrow.

There are two origins for this. The first is at the last supper Judas spilt salt. He was the one who later betrayed Jesus. It is said the Romans had started this superstition.
The second comes from a time when salt was valued very highly. Infact, people were once payed in salt. So the spilling of salt was seen as a waste.
It should also be mentioned that salt was an integral part of religious rites by the Greeks and Romans. It was part of the sacrificial food offered up
See, i am full of usless info lol
