RAEDWULF: I suggest you read an excellent reference book called "SUPERSTITIONS: The Book of Ancient Lore" by Peter Lorie (not the actor - that's spelled Lorrie" - 2 'r's'!).

It covers the glass mirror / salt / sneezing thing quite comprehensively - and I quoted correctly. "Superstitions" is published by Simon & Schuster and its ISBN is 0-671-71141-5.

So, in short - I quoted correctly. BTW: this volume is also in the University library at bot Monash and LaTrobe Uni's here in Melbourne (or it was about 5 or 6 years ago when I was there doing my Masters)
