Salter’s post received several comments from fellow TikTok users who commended her spiritual endeavor. “You protected that whole plane,” a user commented.
“I ain’t mad at ya! Amen!! Safe travels!” another user wrote. “Why is everyone hating? I’m in love with this idea she protected the whole plain AMEN,” a different user also said. “I’ve always done this when I travel, my kid’s dorm room, when I stay in a hotel,” another user wrote.
But a different user begged to differ. “This is stupid just bc [because] you rubbed some oil on a plane doesn’t mean your gonna have a good flight just doing it in your heart is enough, this is just doing it for social media,” the user stated.
Salter, however, replied that she “actually had a WONDERFUL flight!” “Seriously one of the better flights I’ve had in awhile…. But okay dear,” she added.
