Probably not. It does not matter. The idea that spilling salt is bad is just a superstition. Also, we should not make the passion of Jesus into some sort of epic, where supernatural signs foretell the fate of the characters. Ultimately, what we are doing is distancing ourselves from Judas, by saying that he was not an ordinary human being; his actions were set in stone by Satan or something. We are thus denying that we-ordinary human beings-are like Judas. But we are like Judas. We betray Jesus as well when we are cruel to others, hold on to our possessions, and care only about ourselves.

What is the origin of spilling salt superstition?

Lots of superstitious people, when they spill salt, will take a pinch of it in their right hand and throw it backwards over their left shoulder. Superstition has it that, at all times, a devil waits over your left shoulder, and also that spilling salt is bad luck (perhaps because it used to be rare and precious). Hence, you can mitigate your bad luck by throwing salt into the eyes of the devil. There's also a belief that your guardian angel (who can be found over your right shoulder) spills salt to warn you of evil nearby. Either you throw the salt to hurt the devil or, as salt was valuable, as an offering to placate him. Like lots of other superstitions in a Christianized culture, it has a Christianized explanation: spilling salt is bad luck, because Judas spilled salt at the Last Supper. This is somewhat equivalent to the Christianized explanation for not sitting down thirteen at the table, and almost certainly a red herring.


Why is it bad luck to spill salt?

The widespread superstition that spilling salt brings bad luck is believed to have originated with the overturned salt cellar in front of Judas Iscariot at the Last Supper, an incident immortalized in Leonardo Da Vinci's famous painting. According to an old Norwegian superstition, a person will shed as many tears as will be necessary to dissolve the salt spilled. An old English belief has it that every grain of salt spilled represents future tears. The Germans believe that whoever spills salt arouses enmity, because it is thought to be the direct act of the devil, the peace disturber. The French throw a little spilled salt behind them in order to hit the devil in the eye, to temporarily prevent further mischief. In the United States, some people not only toss a pinch of spilled salt over the left shoulder, but crawl under the table and come out the opposite side.

Salt was once used as part of the salary of Roman soldiers. To spill salt is to spill (loose) money, which most of us see as bad luck. The antidote to spilling salt, is to throw a bit of it over your left shoulder. The devil is said to sit behind your left shoulder waiting to see you do something that will allow him to harm you. By throwing the salt over your left shoulder you will be throwing it into the devil's eye and he can't see that you should have bad luck.
