Because I had to put my two cents in.

Basically, for the salt, it's purification. Pretty much every culture has a salt myth and it's essential part of both many Hoodoo and modern Pagan rites. I've always wondered if it has to do with with salt's preservation properties.

The fire serves the same purpose, cleansing, purifying but also destroying the physical link.
