The Power of Mirrors in Spiritual Practices
Mirrors have significant spiritual symbolism across various cultures. In Aztec culture, the god Tuscat Lapalka is associated with mirrors and magic, utilizing a black obsidian mirror for all-knowing vision. In African traditions like voodoo, mirrors symbolize a portal for spirits to communicate, often depicted as an even-armed cross. In Haitian voodoo, left-hand movements symbolize mirroring the other world. Mirrors are used for divination, ancestral work, scrying, meditation, journey work, and spellwork, such as using mirrors to reflect magic back onto oneself instead of others.
