question for spn people
SPN question, for those who watch and have internalized the canon more than I have. Beneath cut, because hey, it's a tad gruesome.
Okay, so you do the salt-and-burn on bodies when trying ot get rid of the ghosts. Let's say we're working with a lot of corpses who died through supernatural violence. Really violently. Would salting the bodies then blowing them up work the same way? There are a lot, and there's really not time to do it one at a time.
Or am i missing a key bit of canon there? I rewatched the one ep I could remmeber them getting rid of a corpse, and this *seems* right, but I could be wrong.

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.
