Esotericists and mystics believe that a mirror is a universal portal to another world. It is no coincidence that mirrors are popular when carrying out various magical rituals and fortune-telling. Everyone remembers the old Christmas fortune-telling with the help of mirrors and candles: "The bridegroom-mummer, come to me for supper." The essence of fortune-telling lies in the fact that two mirrors are installed opposite each other, and two lighted candles are placed between them. It turns out a kind of endless corridor of candle flame and mirror reflections. It is believed that if you peer into this corridor for a long time, then you can see not only your “betrothed” in it, but also your future. This is not at all a "childish" game, as many are accustomed to think: with the help of a mirror, you can literally "look" into another world, experts in the field of magic say.
In the ancient Chinese science of home improvement "feng shui" mirrors will have a special meaning. This teaching strictly regulates the location of this attribute of home furnishings. There are places in the house where mirrors can be placed, and there are also corners where this absolutely cannot be done. For example: Feng Shui does not recommend hanging a mirror in front of the front door or bedroom. In the dining room, a mirror is appropriate: according to the laws of Feng Shui, it will "double" the wealth of the owners. Why is it impossible to place a mirror opposite the entrance? According to the Feng Shui system, it is generally accepted that positive energy will be reflected in the mirror and “go away” through the open door. And in the bedroom there is no place for a mirror, because in a dream, a person's soul travels to other worlds. It is believed that due to the presence of a mirror near the bed, the soul can "make a mistake" and instead of a real body, go into the looking glass. According to this science,mirrors in the house must always be clean, in the literal sense of the word: after visiting the apartment by guests, the amalgam must be washed. This rite is connected with the fact that mirrors have the ability to "accumulate" energy: you never know with what mood and what thoughts the guests looked in this mirror.
According to esotericists, the mirror seems to "take" part of our emotions, fears and desires. Mirrors accumulate everything that happens in our life: our fears, doubts, joy or disappointments. Therefore, after some tragic events in life, it is better to get rid of the old mirror. Together with him, negative energy will leave the house.
Antique mirrors are a separate topic. Fans of vintage and rare gizmos are happy to place various household items from the past in their homes. Including - and mirrors. But few collectors think about the fact that such a neighborhood can be dangerous. The mirror, into which hundreds of people have looked before you, keeps the memory of everyone. Looking into such mirrors, we seem to be looking into the past, it "attracts" and does not let us go. With the help of a mirror, you can see not only the past, magicians believe, the future is also "stored" in the looking glass. And the "older" the mirror, the "stronger" it is
Vadim is a photographer. For his works, he looked for various objects of a bygone era in abandoned and recently evicted houses. He was interested in the very fact of "antiquity" and the opportunity to capture it for his personal archive. The mystical concept of knowing the world was always alien to Vadim, he frankly laughed at his friend, who flatly refused to take various "finds" into her hands. The woman claimed that each thing has its own story, it is connected with the people who held it in their hands. And she doesn't want the aura of these people to affect her at all. Vadim considered it complete nonsense. He was brought up in the best atheistic traditions, so he did not attach any importance to Jeanne's words.
One day he found an old mirror in the garbage. It, of course, was not antique, but judging by the frame, it was made in the 20th century. The artist liked the frame of the mirror and the way the cracks were bizarrely spreading along the old amalgam. The young man did not even think that it was impossible to look into a broken mirror. He took the find home and showed it to his friend.
When the woman entered the room, he raised the mirror standing against the wall, and turned it with amalgam in the direction of Jeanne. The girl involuntarily recoiled and covered her face with her hand. She angrily told her friend that this should not be done, that she was not going to look in the broken mirror. Vadim was surprised and offended: he had already invented a plot in his head with the participation of his girlfriend and a mirror as an entourage. Vadim said that she is an adult and reasonable person with a higher education, and she believes in such nonsense. To which Jeanne objected: that is why she believes in all this. And the less education and knowledge about the world a person has, the more careless he is about such things. It is impossible to reduce everything only to the material component, there are things that cannot be explained logically, but only at the level of subtle matters and intuition.
Vadim was left alone with his unrealized idea, a mirror and a grudge against his girlfriend. However, he was very quickly distracted by another idea, and the mirror remained in his room.

At night, the man woke up with strange sensations. He looked around and saw that the old mirror seemed to glow in the dark, although outside light did not fall on it. The man peered into the cracked glass surface and saw that it was not his room that was reflected in it. Instead of the usual atmosphere of his apartment, he saw the country house in which his parents lived. At first he could not really see what was happening there, but then it became clear to him that something bad was happening there. Vadim abruptly got out of bed, his head was spinning, and he lost consciousness. He woke up from a phone call. It was his mother who called, she said that at night his father felt bad and he died without waiting for the ambulance to arrive. Vadim was shocked. The broken mirror showed him the moment of his father's death in real time.
But this "lesson" did not benefit the young man. He was not even embarrassed by the fact that after the death of his father, his mother fell seriously ill, and he himself began to have problems in his personal life. His girlfriend categorically stated that she did not want to meet with him anymore. The man still thinks that he dreamed all this, and the old mirror has nothing to do with it.
Therefore, Jeanne, knowing that her friend was skeptical about such things, did not tell him about what she had seen in the mirror. The girl already knew that if she stayed with Vadim, she would also face troubles and decided not to wait for the moment when what she saw would come true. Unlike her friend, she trusted the knowledge received from the subtle world, and did not begin to test Destiny.
Well, everyone is free to choose the concept of reality perception that is closer and more understandable to him. As Woland said, and not only he: "Everyone will be rewarded according to his faith." But the laws of the subtle world act in the same way for everyone. Both those who believe in them and those who deny them.
