Why
is the alchemical symbol for salt
the same as the symbol for water? Why has salt been traded ounce-for-ounce
for gold at certain times? Why do we throw salt over our shoulder, or
use it to consecrate a space, as the sumo wrestlers do when they sprinkle
it around the ring before a match?
My dendritic
investigations into water lead me to salt, a marine evaporate.
