If a person breaks a mirror. Breaking a mirror is the meaning of the sign. Negative signs associated with a broken mirror

In every home, a mirror is a necessary household item. After all, you should definitely look at it before leaving the house to see if everything is okay with your appearance, if you forgot to take something with you or put something on. What if your belt fell off and you didn’t notice it, what if you forgot the bag? And they looked in the mirror and saw that something was missing. So there is no way to do without it. But breaking a mirror is a bad omen, and here's why.

We have already written about how you shouldn’t take pictures in the mirror, you shouldn’t give a mirror as a gift, and you shouldn’t look into it at night. A mirror is a fragile object and can be broken quite easily. And a broken mirror has always been considered a very bad omen. After all, it has long been considered a reflection of the subtle world that is on the other side of the door - the mirror. And a broken mirror opened these doors, and otherworldly entities through it could penetrate into the world of people and harm them.

Breaking a mirror - what is this sign?

This also applies to a cracked mirror, because a crack, similar to a broken mirror, opens the door to the other world. And even if this is just a small crack, however, a dark entity can crawl through it and open the door for others from our side. Therefore, a cracked mirror should be removed immediately.

If you accidentally break a mirror, misfortune awaits you. It is generally believed that the unlucky period will last for seven years. During all this time, you will know neither peace, nor happiness, nor prosperity, your loved ones will be sick, there will be discord in the house. Even seeing a broken mirror in a dream is not good.

A broken mirror, or rather, a sign associated with it, promises you the loss of a friend. If a mirror in the house suddenly breaks, this foreshadows not just a loss, but the death of a relative.

Under no circumstances should you leave a broken mirror in the house - the fragments will drain your life force. You will always feel tired, irritated, and you will not want to do anything. Even communicate with family. Therefore, no matter how dear a broken mirror is to you, get rid of it immediately and without regret. And if you break a mirror while telling fortunes about your betrothed, you will never find him...

A mirror with cracks is no better than a broken one. Cracks also negatively affect the energy of those living in the house. It's better to throw it away too. If the crack is small and unnoticeable, the mirror can be cut so that the canvas remains completely intact.

What to do? Of course, stock up on amulet. For example, jasper stone helps eliminate misfortunes after such situations.

In order to avoid accidentally hitting or breaking a mirror at home (a sign that if you did this in your home does not bode well), it must be placed so as not to accidentally hit it. And so that children cannot reach them. And in general, take care of their safety so that the mirror reflects only the good that is in your life. And under no circumstances hang a mirror in the bedroom, as you can’t sleep in front of a mirror either. And especially don’t cry when looking in a mirror, especially a broken one!

What to do to avoid consequences?

In order to avoid the negative consequences of a broken mirror, you must do simple manipulations:

  • Carefully collect all the fragments, and preferably without touching them with your hands.
  • Before this, you need to moisten the broom with water and use it to spray it on the fragments. This is not only because you can receive negative energy through them, but also because you can simply cut yourself. If very small fragments cannot be collected with a broom, use a wet rag, which you should never wash afterwards, but throw away immediately, or a vacuum cleaner.
  • They sweep away the fragments not into a dustpan, but onto a sheet of paper, preferably clean, but if you don’t have one on hand, just use something paper - a newspaper, an advertising brochure or a leaflet.
  • Place all the fragments in a dark, thick bag - paper or plastic. This is done in order to prevent the mirror from reflecting negative energy and fractured images of what it has seen during its existence, as well as to prevent sharp fragments from cutting the garbage bag.
  • You can fill the fragments with something dark, for example, paint, or paint over them with a marker. But this only makes sense when the broken pieces are few and large.
  • You can rinse the collected fragments with a stream of water, put them in a bag and throw them away. Just don’t look at these fragments - they can take your energy. And it is better not to leave fragments in the house overnight - take out such garbage immediately.

And don't be afraid of anything!

Not only because now you need to look for something new, and this may not be cheap. Also because the mirror is a mystical object, it is not for nothing that it occupies a central place in a variety of magical rituals. According to ancient Russian customs, even the betrothed is told fortunes with its help. Feng Shui is also sensitive to mirrors, strictly regulating where they can be hung and where they cannot be hung.

What do the fragments say?

A broken mirror is always associated with misfortune and is considered a harbinger of trouble. In ancient times, it was believed that a mirror reflects not only a person’s face and figure, but also his soul. That is why people were so kind to him and were afraid to break him. They believed that in this case the energy flows were destroyed, and this would inevitably lead to tragedy. Such superstitions are not only alive among us.

In England, for example, they believe that broken mirrors foreshadow the loss of your closest friend. To avoid this, you need to immediately and without fail throw all the fragments into the depths of the river. By the way, even now the prim (and superstitious) British sometimes do this.

The Americans, as representatives of a nation with a mercantile reputation, tried to ward off trouble with the help of gold. If a mirror broke, they took a gold coin from their pocket and crossed themselves. Now gold coins are not in use, so they use one dollar bills - modestly.

How to properly throw away a broken mirror

If the mirror is small, pocket-sized, and broken on the street, there are no problems with it - it goes in the trash, and that's it. But if you’re at home, it’s a completely different story.

Looking into a cracked mirror;

Look into the fragments of the mirror;

If you leave broken or cracked mirrors in the apartment, they must be thrown out immediately;

Telling someone that a mirror in the house broke.

Now the main trick: firstly, you need to collect the fragments so as not to look at your reflection, and secondly, throw them away correctly. First you need to stock up on gloves so as not to get hurt. And then start cleaning.

You can cover the broken mirror with paper or a rag (a towel or an old sheet that you don’t mind throwing away) and collect the fragments. But it is so easy to cut yourself, so this method is not very suitable;

Approach the mirror from the side so as not to see your reflection. Trying not to look at the fragments, we quickly collect them in an opaque bag.

In this case, large fragments are usually washed under running water and thrown outside into a trash can (thus, water removes all the bad things from the fragments and does not allow negative energy to prevail over positive);

Small fragments simply need to be collected and thrown into a bin, then taken out with the trash;

– the area in the house where the mirror broke is thoroughly sprayed with holy water - or just water. Astrologers advise doing this before cleaning, and then placing a candle nearby, and only then collecting the fragments;

Old mirrors deserve special attention, as they have their own history - happy or not. Some people, having moved into an apartment and not changing the furnishings in it, notice that they seem to be starting to live someone else’s life. It's all about the mirror left by the former owners. It:

  • broadcasts the energy accumulated over the years to the world. If the mirror reflected quarrels, illnesses and other unpleasant events, then this negativity will continue to pour out on the new inhabitants of the house;
  • may be an unclosed portal to another reality. Some magicians work with mirrors, summoning all sorts of dark entities through them. Gradually, a kind of corridor is formed, and “guests” get the chance to visit the new owners even against their will;
  • capable of acting as an object that transmits damage to death. Sometimes mirrors are purposefully charged with negativity for the purpose of causing harm. In such a situation, the new owner risks his life by looking at the reflection.

As the signs say, someone else's mirror, which has been used for a long time, is a potentially dangerous object, and it is better to get rid of it. This can be done on the waning moon in one of the following ways:

  1. Cover the mirror with a dark cloth and break it into small pieces. Take the wrapped fragments to the swamp and drown them.
  2. Immerse the mirror in cold water for three days. Change the fluid every six hours. After the expiration date, take the unwanted item to a remote place and leave it there (even an ordinary city garbage dump will do).
  3. Wrap the mirror in a dark cloth and go into the forest with it. Go further and dig a deep hole. Place the wrapped mirror face down in it, and then cover it with earth. It happens that the old mirror does not bother the owners, but they even like it. In this case, it is permissible to leave it, but only if it is first cleaned (with water or fire).

Signs for a broken mirror

With mother's milk, people absorb the information that a broken mirror is a bad sign. What do folk signs say about this?

  1. Breaking a mirror on purpose or in a bad mood is unlucky. No matter how many fragments you get, you won't be lucky for so many years. Some believe that bad luck will befall all the inhabitants of the house throughout the seven-year cycle.
  2. An accidentally broken mirror means change. If there are an odd number of fragments, a wedding should be expected. An even number foretells the death of someone close.
  3. The mirror broke itself - a sign indicating an energy attack aimed at the house. Perhaps someone is trying to cause damage. You should think about setting up magical protection.
  4. A child broke a mirror - a warning about possible dangers. It is possible that the recently made choice is the wrong one. The child himself is not in danger, since until the age of 7 he is under maternal protection. Children who are unaware of a bad omen avoid any negative consequences (ignorance serves as a shield).
  5. Breaking someone else's mirror is a sign of incompatibility between people. Some of them, consciously or not, are trying to harm the other.
  6. A mirror in a car breaks - there is a high probability of an accident. Alternatively, the car will have to be replaced soon (it is possible that as a result of an accident).
  7. If a small mirror breaks into two halves, you should expect separation from a loved one. Divorce, separation, moving, death.
  8. Keeping a cracked mirror means illness, weakness, and misfortune. Damage of this nature is associated with the penetration of negative energies into the world, which can be dangerous for people.
  9. Looking into a cracked mirror means breaking your own soul into fragments, provoking problems of both a physical and mental nature.
  10. Stepping on a mirror so that it cracks is a bad sign, foreshadowing tears, grief and worries. Death, serious illness or injury may occur.

Although traditionally people expect all sorts of misfortunes from a broken mirror, ordinary human awkwardness cannot be ruled out. You can accidentally drop anything. It is recommended to develop your own prediction system. For example, for many, a broken mirror is a harbinger of a new job, a fateful meeting, or sudden profit. You need to carefully observe the events of your life - then it will be easier to navigate the signs. But in any case, the damaged mirror must be disposed of. This is due to the energetic instability of the object: the fragments are unable to ensure the “personal” integrity of the thing. A cracked, chipped or broken mirror must be wrapped in cloth and buried (discarded). You can't look into it.

Sign: the mirror fell

  1. If the mirror breaks or cracks when it falls, then the interpretation is the same as before: misfortune, danger, change. It happens that an object belongs to a person who is far away. In this case, damage to the fallen mirror indicates the death or serious illness of its owner.
  2. The mirror fell, but did not break - a favorable omen, indicating strong protection of the house, which is not so easy to break through. There's nothing to worry about.
  3. A constantly falling mirror, even one that remains intact, indicates a bad atmosphere in the home. This can be facilitated by family quarrels, unfair punishment of children, infidelity, etc. It is recommended to think about your behavior: a mirror serves as an accurate indicator of the energy health of the home. It's worth cleaning it.
  4. Dropping a mirror without breaking it is a reason to be careful. They are trying to warn a person about unreasonable behavior. It is necessary to carefully monitor the situation. A fallen but surviving mirror is generally a good omen. This is more of a warning than a danger signal. It is permissible to continue using the mirror after rinsing it with salt water.

Where you can and cannot hang a mirror

Energy corridors and vortices are created in every home. If all objects are located correctly, then negativity will not enter the home, and vice versa. A mirror plays a special role in this case: on a subtle level, it can completely change the characteristics of space.

By focusing on proven signs, you can build an optimal living system in your home. The rules are:

  1. It is not recommended to hang a mirror opposite the front door. This arrangement provokes the flow of positive energy and attracts unwanted guests. The mirror should be placed to the side of the entrance so that the inhabited rooms are reflected in it: this will contribute to the accumulation of benefits.
  2. A good option is a mirror on the front door. It will accumulate positivity and keep it inside the home. It is better to prefer products with a round shape.
  3. Carefully hang the mirror opposite the window, as positive energy will begin to reflect and leave the room. The only exception is the beautiful view. If a forest landscape or the sea is displayed in the mirror, then such a “picture” will have a beneficial effect on the atmosphere in the house. In other cases, mirror surfaces should be on the side walls near the windows.
  4. You cannot hang a mirror opposite the bed. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, the soul of a sleeping person can get lost and end up in a looking glass. Secondly, if spouses or lovers spend the night in bed, then separation will soon await them. In addition, a mirror in the bedroom can suck the energy out of a resting person: many people feel tired after such sleep. The reflective surface is covered overnight, negating the adverse effects.
  5. You should not place a mirror in the toilet. On an energetic level, the restroom is intended to cleanse, to get rid of. The presence of a mirror in this room can provoke the departure of everything positive: joy, happiness, love.
  6. Do not hang a mirror in the kitchen opposite the stove, since it will make the hostess get tired several times faster. According to some signs, to increase wealth, it is permissible to place a mirror so that the dining table is visible in it. But magicians warn about the dangers of eating in front of your own reflection because of the risk of “eating away” beauty, health or happiness.
  7. Traditionally, a mirror is hung in the living room- this is the best place for him. The room should be well-groomed, tidy, and beautifully furnished. It’s good if pots of flowers, figurines, paintings, photographs with happy people are reflected in the mirror.

8. A mirror in the corner becomes a portal to another world, so it is not recommended to place it here. Otherworldly “guests” can cause a lot of trouble. Separately, mention should be made of the mirror under the bed or mattress. When placed with the reflective side down, it provides good protection while sleeping. In particular, this method is used if it is not possible to move your sleeping place to a favorable area of ​​the house.

Other signs on the mirror

There are a number of signs that are considered generally known. They are guided by them in their behavior, since these beliefs have proven themselves to be absolutely truthful. Among them:

  • the loss of a pocket mirror means losses, and not necessarily of a material nature;
  • looking into the eyes of your reflection for a long time means rapid aging;
  • carrying a small mirror in your pocket is good luck;
  • a mirror hidden in a patient’s room means recovery, as the illness will drag on into another reality;
  • dirty mirror - to problems in the family;
  • giving your personal mirror to someone else means trouble;
  • a mirror without a frame - to the rapid destruction of its biofield and the appearance of problems in the house;
  • a mirror that “cuts off” the legs or head means health problems;
  • a mirror as a gift - to separation;
  • a woman’s square mirror means troubles and many “sharp corners” in life;
  • for friends to look in the same mirror together - to a conflict over men;
  • not looking in the mirror when returning for a forgotten thing means taking the devil with you;
  • an uncovered mirror in a house with a deceased person - the risk for the soul of the deceased to wander into the looking glass;
  • throwing away a mirror as an ordinary thing means trouble (an entity living in the world of reflections may be offended and begin to take revenge). They get rid of unnecessary mirrors either by burying them or donating them to energetically strong people.

All superstitions agree on one thing - the mirror should please its owner. If it causes the slightest discomfort, it is better to remove it from the house. Every sign about a mirror is the result of many years of experience. You should listen to the knowledge of generations, because, focusing on them, you can eliminate many unpleasant moments from your life.

A dream in which mirrors are given is very positive and means an imminent wedding or good changes in life.

How to properly throw away a broken mirror

The broken mirror is first watered with water, and then the fragments are carefully collected, but not with bare hands. There should be no pieces of the mirror left; you need to collect everything and put it in an opaque bag.

It is better to throw the mirror into a river or running water, it will wash away all adversities. You can hold the bag of fragments under a running tap and throw it in the trash.

How to get out of trouble if a mirror breaks

A broken mirror brings failures and troubles if action is not taken in time. To ward off misfortune, you need to know how to behave in this unpleasant case.

The mirror has long been considered a magical object. Through it, people communicate with the other world, tell fortunes and call on spirits. There are various beliefs, and one of them says that the mirror is our double, and if we break it, we destroy our life. The surface of a magical object contains energetic memories - both good and bad - and when struck, they can penetrate our aura and clog it. It happens that the mirror breaks on its own, but if it happens that you damaged it, then, most likely, misfortune cannot be avoided. However, there are rules that will help you immediately ward off trouble.

What to do if a mirror breaks

The first thing to do is collect the fragments. But it is important to know that you should not pick up the fragments with your hands. If you cut yourself with them, you will attract grief to yourself. Large pieces should be swept away with a brush, and mirror dust should be collected with a vacuum cleaner. This should be done by the one through whose fault the trouble occurred. If a child is involved, a blood relative picks up the pieces. If the mirror breaks into exactly several large pieces, they should be painted over with black paint to avoid troubles in your personal life.

Under no circumstances look into broken pieces and protect your children from this: you can lose vitality and attract health problems. Wrap the mirror in a durable cloth before throwing it away. You can perform a ritual and consecrate this place with holy water, reading the broom spell, then bad luck will definitely not come to you.

Remember that the fragments cannot be broken again: this can cause a negative reaction and aggression from the men in the house, and also double the misfortunes that already come from the damaged magical item. It is not advisable to store a broken mirror at home, even if it is an antique item. You should get rid of it immediately and buy a new one instead.

You cannot throw a mirror outside in a trash can - you need to bury it in the ground to ensure that you and your home are protected from negative impacts. However, you can resort to a conspiracy and take it to the trash heap, whispering the words: “I take away misfortune, adversity, and illness from home. Amen". If a person was already dying in the apartment where the magic object crashed, then it is advisable to bury the fragments away from the house and, if possible, not walk there.

If you break a magical object and then look at its fragments, you need to urgently act and cleanse your energy field using protective techniques. First of all, you should put the broken piece you looked into under running cold water, otherwise you can expect deterioration in your health. Then you need to take a bath, after reading the prayer “Virgin Mother of God, Rejoice.” Sacred words will help you find peace of mind.

After you have completed all the steps: collected the fragments, cleansed yourself with prayer, threw away the mirror, you need to say a few words to return good luck to the house. Say this with positive emotions and be sure to laugh: “It crashed to your health!” Good luck! For luck! Amen!"

After breaking a mirror, there is no need to panic and get upset. You just need to follow the advice and properly cleanse your house of fragments, and protect your family from harm with the help of prayer and rituals. Now you know what to do if a magic item breaks, and you can prevent misfortunes. Good luck, and don't forget to press the buttons and

What to do and why a mirror breaks: signs, rituals and a skeptical approach

People began studying their reflection as early as 6000 BC. Then the processed surfaces of round volcanic stones served as mirrors. The history of modern products dates back to 1240, when European glassblowers mastered the process of making glass vessels. Over time, different peoples began to attribute to mirrors an inexplicable magical power that could both harm and help a person.

Why does the mirror surface beat: a magical look...

The question of what to do with a broken mirror worries us largely precisely because our ancestors associated this object with mysticism. Since ancient times, it was believed that a mirror is the border between our world and the other world. With its help they cast spells and summoned the spirits of the dead.

In addition, it is a powerful self-programming tool. Even modern psychologists claim that by “working” with your own reflection, you can convince yourself of something, tune yourself to a certain wave of life. It is not surprising that signs and rituals associated with mirrors have migrated to our days. People especially attach a lot of meaning to situations with broken surfaces.

Bad and good meanings

There is a belief that a broken mirror portends bad luck. Anyone who encroaches on the integrity of such a mysterious thing will be haunted by troubles for seven years. This prospect is not pleasant for anyone, which is why the query “what to do and why does a mirror break” is so popular in Internet search engines. Websites dedicated to magic interpret the unpleasant event with the mirror as follows:

  • if it crashes at work, it promises troubles in business, conflicts with colleagues;
  • if a small mirror breaks, a person will face minor troubles in the family, quarrels with relatives;
  • if it breaks in the bathroom, this is a harbinger of serious illness and death;
  • if it breaks in the hallway, it can lead to unpleasant and even dangerous acquaintances;
  • if it breaks into many fragments, this promises more troubles;
  • if the mirror breaks itself - a sign of imminent death or illness of one of the relatives;
  • a car cracked is a harbinger of an imminent accident;
  • fell and broke on the street - difficulties in achieving your goals.

It’s interesting that people attach positive meanings to broken mirrors. And in some cases it is even recommended to deliberately spoil them. Here are some examples.

  • To recovery. According to this version, the mirror is able to “absorb” the pain and suffering of a person during illness. Therefore, it is believed that you need to break the reflective surface into which the sick person most often looks, and then the illness will go away.
  • To a better life. By the same logic, those for whom everything in life is going awry are advised to get rid of old mirrors. This way you will be able to get rid of all the negativity that has settled in the “mirror storage”.
  • Good luck. Profit and positive changes will come to a house where a mirror fell but did not break.
  • For the wedding. If a mirror breaks, you need to count the fragments. An odd number is a harbinger of an imminent wedding.

... and the opinion of skeptics

If we ignore mystical interpretations, we can find quite logical explanations for all the horrors that are being unleashed around the shiny surface. Most signs originate from ancient times and reflect the life and customs of people. And the word “superstition” itself is translated as “empty faith.”

So, skeptics suggest looking for the roots of signs about mirror misfortunes in the Middle Ages. At that time, mirrors had just begun to be cast; they were very expensive, and the quality left much to be desired. Such items appeared only in noble houses. And since the servants could not handle the expensive item with care, the owners came up with a “horror story” about the troubles and failures that await the one who breaks the unusual item.

People are different and everyone has their own views on life. But everyone should know what to do with the fragments when a mirror breaks. After all, even for a person far from superstitious, the situation evokes negative emotions. The main thing is not to panic. If you are afraid of mirror failures, do the following.

  • Don't look at the rubble. They should be covered with a dark cloth or painted over with spray paint. And only after that throw it away.
  • Do not touch with bare hands. On the esoteric side, it is believed that touching fragments can bring even more trouble than eye contact. To avoid touching with your hands, you need to sweep away large fragments with a broom. Then take the broom out of the room and throw it three times so that it definitely touches the ground when it falls. The remaining fragmentation dust should be collected with a damp cloth and thrown away without unwrapping. Interestingly, some sources advise neutralizing negativity by washing the fragments under running water, which takes away all the bad things.
  • Get rid of the fragments. You can wrap the debris in non-transparent fabric and throw them into the river. Another option is to bury it in the ground with the reflective side down, where no one walks and not on your own property.

Throwing away rarities

Sometimes even connoisseurs of rarities wonder whether it is worth throwing away an old mirror. Esotericists say that this simply must be done. It is believed that old mirrors store more negative energy than new ones. Firstly, they “absorbed” the bad things from their previous owners. And secondly, the energies of different owners can conflict. After all, abrasions, chips, and cracks disrupt reflective abilities, gradually destroying a person’s energy biofield. Here are some tips on how to get rid of an inherited mirror.

  • Rinse. Before throwing the old cracked mirror into the trash container, you need to rinse it with running water, sprinkle it with holy water, cross it with a church candle, or sprinkle it three times with salt prepared on Maundy Thursday.
  • Throw it away. It is necessary to throw away an antique piece of furniture on the waning moon. The exception is broken mirrors, which must be disposed of immediately. It’s better to say goodbye to the mirror alone and not involve your family in the process.
  • “Clear” the place. The empty space left by the ancient household item is also treated with salt, and candles are burned here for a week.

If it's a gift

New and donated mirrors also need to be “cleaned.” The ritual is carried out in four stages.

  1. Rinse under running water or soak in a bath for several days.
  2. Dry.
  3. Wrap in thick fabric.
  4. Put it in the closet for a couple of weeks.

But what about the mirrors that come with, for example, modern wardrobes? You definitely can’t soak these in the bath... In this case, the procedure can be made easier: just sprinkle the surface with holy water.

Rules for those who are far from superstitions

If a person is not a fan of programs about psychics and is absolutely indifferent to signs, then, of course, here the procedure is simplified many times over. All advice in this case comes down to following basic safety rules. It is interesting that the technique in some places duplicates the “mystical” one, but with a different motivation.

  • Do not pick up pieces without protection. This is unsafe because there is a high chance of accidentally getting hurt. In this case, it is better to use cloth gloves.
  • Fold large glasses into fabric. Or wrap it in newspaper. This is important because a regular garbage bag can simply tear.
  • Vacuum. According to reviews, this is the best way to collect small pieces from hard-to-reach places.
  • Wipe the floors. And then it’s better to throw away the rag, since there is a chance that the fragments will not be washed off.

It is worth remembering that it is not signs that determine events, but a person who “adjusts” superstitions to life situations. You yourself decide whether to make a tragedy out of a small emergency and how to properly throw away a broken mirror. And in each case the choice will be 100% correct.

Reviews: “This is for pregnancy - I’m sure!”

I ran to the trash bin to take out the broken mirror. I left my daughter at home, she is 1.8. I locked the apartment from the outside and quickly ran out. I'm coming back_I can't get home. The daughter locked herself from the inside with an iron latch. I'm panicking! As soon as I started calling the Ministry of Emergency Situations, my little bunny figured out how to open the door herself! So don’t believe in omens after this!

It's very scary when a mirror breaks, especially for no reason. My friend’s mirror seemed to burst at night, and in the morning she woke up and there was a crack all over the mirror. scary. and on that day there was an explosion at the mine where her father worked and he died…. incl. in fact, this sign is very dangerous and God forbid anyone experiences this. Moreover, her father himself cut out this mirror many many years ago and made a frame for it. Here.

This is for pregnancy, I’m sure... I didn’t have a baby for several months, and then, returning home, my husband noticed a black cat crossing our path (I’m not superstitious at all, and wouldn’t have paid attention), and even broke a large mirror. The next day the test showed that I was pregnant))) The child is growing smart and beautiful...

And I keep a large antique mirror from my great-grandmother in the house. And I’m afraid to break the tradition when it was passed down from generation to generation and we believed that it would bring goodness, profit, prosperity and powerful protection to our home. And I personally did not perform any mystical attributes with him.

Yesterday I broke a mirror, decided to wash it, and bam it was out of my hands... but I didn’t bother, I just swept it away and forgot. Today a turtle died, and not mine, my friends left and left me to look after it, and of course I remembered the mirror. I cried, then I went and threw away the mirror and bought a new beautiful one. It is a pity that someone dies, but at that moment a new life is born. People separate from their loved ones, or maybe in order to meet the one and only one. If you are haunted by thoughts of a broken mirror, then believe that this is for a New Happy Life, everything bad has been shattered into pieces. Buy a new beautiful mirror. Good luck to all.
