Does sprinkling milk around your house keep evil spirits away?

Question

This is what my grandmother taught me. At first I thought that is was an old wives tale but then I began to wonder. So I would like to ask people who specialize in spiritual knowledge whether or not sprinkling milk around your house will truly banish the evil spirits.

Not that there is anything around my house lol, but just a spiritual question out of curiosity.

Answer 1

No, i haven't heard of milk doing any thing like that but you can try anointing oil, the seven oils that are mention in the bible and sulfer also praying in the name of Jesus adding some holy water with some amonia that should do it. Peace.

Answer 2

only if their lactose intolerant evil spirits

Answer 3

Milk? No. I believe an old superstition referred to Salt.

Answer 4

No, I use West Indian Pepper Sauce, evil spirits hate it.

Answer 5

Never heard of sprinkling milk around the house to keep evil spirits away though.

I only know that water with salt or just the salt can be a protection from evil spirits.

Answer 6

I've never heard of milk helping, but salt does.

Answer 7

Was by chance you grandmother from a German, Irish, or Dutch Heritage? Many of them would sprinkle fresh morning drawn milk around the corners of the home when they would move in, build a new house, change of seasons, ect. It was also for a blessing of good fortune as well.

The sprinkling of salt inside the home kept "evil spirits" away, or in later Christian influence, demons. To incircle your home or property with salt and saying a prayer was commonly used by many cultures.  

Answer 8

I don't know about spirits, but the eventual smell of spoiled milk will keep most people away.

Answer 9

My mom would sprinkle Holy Water around the house.  I never heard of milk, though.

Answer 10

No.  Rotten milk will stink up your house.  

Call on the name of the Lord (Jesus) to protect you and your home and the demons will flee.  Darkness won't live where the LIGHT of the world is.

Answer 11

Um, no.

Answer 12

All sprinkling milk will do is get the ground around your house wet....................................

Answer 13

Out of superstion i think tht is a myth that people say works. But the only eveil spirits are the devil and his demons. All you need is God and a little faith for tht 1.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 14

No but salt keeps slugs away!

Answer 15

Have you ever smelled spoiled milk? it's likely not only to keep evil spirits away, but friends, neighbors and family as well.

Answer 16

No.  I once spilt a pint of milk on my carpet and the smell after a few days was bad enough to require replacement.  Whatever your spiritual problems, they're probably not bad enough to require milk everywhere.
