A seemingly harmles mineral, salt has a long history of being essential for rituals of purification, magical protection, and also blessings. Among the ancients, the sun and salt were essential to the maintenance of life, while in alchemy, it was considered to be the thrid heavenly substance, representing the final manifestation of "the perfected stone". Salt has also been associated with the ouroboros--an ancient symbol of a serpent eating it's own tail. The ouroboros epitomizes the cyclical nature of the universe: life out of death. Salt in a circle around you, or in a doorway will keep demons and spirits from getting to you and will trap any demon and spirit you want. Made into rock salt bullets, it will also dissipate a spirit for a while making it one of the best weapons in a hunters arsenal. So make sure you carry plenty of it!
