Salt Lines and Thresholds · On Protecting a House

Scattering salt, setting a threshold, leaving a mark on the lintel. All three are used across Europe, and the methods differ widely; this book puts them side by side.

• Three regions compared: Britain, Iberia and Eastern Europe — the order and timing each one uses
• A one-page procedure: what to do and how to clear up afterwards; follow it once and you are done
• Sources: dates and documents, with 12 historical images

Who it suits

Note

A folk record, not a how-to: no effect is promised. If you do scatter salt at the door, ask the landlord first.
