Sounds more like one of the tools of a Shaman, and not a priest.

I know that most Protestants don't believe in sacramentals, but I do believe that some Protestant Churches use some of the following! For example, do you have candles at your church?

Such use of salt is rooted in the actions of Elisha in II Kings 2:19-22.

And although many Lutherans are sadly unaware of the fact, Luther retained the use of blessed salt in his order for Holy Baptism.
