On the pages of social networks, so popular nowadays, we can often see pictures of people taken in the mirror. Photo in reflection has become a new squeak of fashion, and when making another lift-bow, young people hardly remember the long-standing superstitions that say that taking pictures in a mirror can be dangerous. Let's try to figure out what caused such prohibitions.
A little about mirrors
It would seem that such an unusual and mystical thing could be in this object, because it is, in fact, just a piece of glass, one side of which is covered with amalgam and a layer of black paint. But why exactly the mirror has been surrounded by a halo of mystery for many centuries? Why do many sorcerers, witches and shamans prefer to use this item as a magical attribute for their rituals? And even people directly related to science call mirrors "a unique multilayer structure." It has not yet been possible to find reliable answers to these questions, but one thing is certain: a mirror is more than just a reflective glass surface.
We are all so accustomed to using mirrors in everyday life that we can no longer imagine our life without them. And surely not many of us think about the fact that such an item has unique properties. It is believed that a mirror has a kind of memory - it stores information that has ever been reflected in its surface. And especially for a long time, this object captures pictures and images that have a powerful, strong energy, and at the same time not always positive.
Perhaps you have ever noticed that you look completely different in different mirrors. For example, a "home" reflection may seem much prettier to you than the image you see in an office mirror. The thing is that these objects remember not only the appearance of the people who looked in them, but also their characters, souls, energy and thoughts. And if peace and harmony reign in your home, then, admiring your reflection before leaving the house, you will see an attractive, cheerful, rested and friendly person. But every day a lot of people with a variety of moods and thoughts pass by the mirrors installed in public places. And if a person who is concealing anger, resentment or sadness looks into the glass surface in front of you, his energy can easily be transmitted to you, spoiling the mood for the whole day.
Why you can't be photographed in the mirror

Let's take a closer look at what such a ban is based on. MirSovetov identified several reasons:
1. The mystics say that in the process of creating a picture, a person is able to "call up" something completely unexpected and unpleasant from the depths of mirror memory. Remember, perhaps, you have ever seen in magazines or TV shows of psychic themes pictures of various phantoms imprinted on a mirror surface. Sometimes such photographs are just fiction, but in some cases experts recognize the images as reliable. It is believed that the looking glass is a separate world where entities from another dimension live. For the time being, our parallel realities do not intersect and it is not known whether the flash of the camera contributes to the contact of two worlds, but it is not worth checking this theory on our own experience.
2. The camera, like the mirror itself, is also partly a mystical subject. Most psychics will tell you that the picture is capable of storing information about the person depicted on it. It is believed that by taking a picture in the mirror, you seem to associate yourself with this object forever. But, as mentioned earlier, the reflecting surface remembers the energy of all people and events that have ever been captured in it. It turns out that the camera captures in the image not only you, but also the looking-glass world, which may not always turn out to be friendly. As a result, the energy of those who left their mark in the mirror surface is superimposed on your energy, and this, in turn, can negatively affect not only your health, but also your fate.
3. Another reason for the ban is based on the same connection between a person and the mirror in which he was photographed. There is a belief that if a given object ever breaks, a mass of misfortunes and misfortunes will fall on the head of the owner of such a picture.
4. Believe it or not such signs is up to you. MirSovetov gave you the reasons for the prohibitions on taking pictures in the mirror, but it is worth noting that all these assumptions are just a theory, not supported by reliable facts.
Why you can't be photographed in a mirror: a scientific approach
People who prefer to post such photos on social networks often spend a lot of time choosing a beautiful pose, smile, look, angle, etc. It would seem that there is nothing dangerous in this, but this is only at first glance. Scientists at an American institution spent 15 years studying the effects of mirrors on humans. Experiments using a highly sensitive magnetic wave detector have shown that the reflective surface is a kind of energy vampire. Those who spend a significant amount of time in front of a mirror often feel tired, fatigued, and deteriorated in mood and memory. It seems incredible, but people who love to admire themselves age a little faster than those who are more indifferent to their reflection.
Folk signs
A huge number of signs and superstitions are associated with mirrors. Let's take a look at some of them:
1. The mirror breaks unfortunately. If you believe this assumption, here are some tips:
- in no case look into the shards of broken glass, it is believed that this will bring many troubles to your home;
- Carefully collect the particles of the broken object and wrap it in a cloth, then bury it in the ground.
2. If you left the house and forgot to take some necessary thing with you, when you return to your home, be sure to look in the mirror. Such an action will take all evil spirits away from your home, and good luck will accompany you on the road.
3. Try not to place a mirror in the bedroom. If this is not possible, then simply position the object in such a way that during sleep you are not reflected in its surface.
4. When moving to another house or apartment, take your own mirror with you or buy a new one. It is better to throw away the item that belonged to the past owners, since you do not know what kind of energy they could leave behind.
5. The mirror in the bathroom should be hung so that you are not reflected in it during the bathing process, otherwise, if you believe it, you will face frequent and prolonged illnesses.
6. Don't look at your reflection if you are upset, afraid, angry, nervous, or crying. The mirror will remember negative information, and subsequently it will transfer bad energy to you over and over again.
7. Some signs are not advised to bring children under 1 year old to the mirrors. It is believed that the baby will grow and develop poorly, and will also become shy.
8. Another superstition prohibits eating food while looking at your reflection. On the other hand, if you hang the mirror so that the dining table is visible in it, the owners will never feel the need and lack of money.
