Mirror - an indispensable attribute of the interior, a household item, without which there is no way to live. Women will not leave the house without taking an elegant case with them, helping to maintain a perfect look throughout the day. And even three or four centuries ago, the mirror was considered a curiosity and even a little afraid. He was credited with various magical properties, paranormal abilities. There is a version that Ivan the Terrible suffered from a mirror phobia.

Therefore, I ordered products from blind masters so that they could not visually affect a smooth surface. And today, many have a special attitude to this subject. Some girlish fortune-telling cannot do without him. Dozens of superstitions are associated with the mirror. One of them says that you can not look in the mirror when you cry. I wonder why?

Mirror as a storage device - will remember and amplify the negative

The origins of mirror production are clearly traced back to the 13th century. In those days when they learned to pour tin into liquid glass, memory was attributed to the mirror. Allegedly, it can easily remember everything that it sees during the cycle of existence. In addition, the mirror is able to resonate what is stored in its bowels.

So, the sobbing face of a person remains, as if recorded on film, in the world of "looking glass". Subsequently, sad emotions cause frequent negative events that accompany the owner of the mirror for a long period.Perhaps that is why old grandmothers even covered TV screens with napkins, so that once again no one would reflect on a brilliant background.

According to another belief, a person crying in front of a mirror leaves happiness. The reason is all in the same unique memory. Without any warnings, a breakdown in relations begins, monetary losses occur, followed by a series of accidents or incidents. And stopping this process is very difficult. However, most likely, it is more convenient for people to relieve themselves of responsibility for their own oversights.

Creepy Mirror Stories

Sensitive natures, prone to mysticism, not without pleasure believe in terrible legends. There is a theory of mirror crybaby. Sobbing in front of the mirror, one can inadvertently bring to life a killer from the spirit world. Such power can only be possessed by antiques that have seen much in their lifetime.

In old newspapers, there were publications in which the merchant exhorted not to buy the mirrors of 1743, published under the Louis Arpo brand. There were disturbing rumors that everyone who purchased exclusive items died under mysterious circumstances. The author of the article (and not only him) considered mirrors to be killers. Interestingly, these rare items were declared missing. As it turned out, forever.

Danger of seeing the reflection of the dead while crying in front of a mirror

Another belief forbids crying at the mirror because of the danger of seeing the previous owners dead in the reflection.Cases are described when crying young girls noticed ghosts standing in small groups on the other side. But the conclusion suggests itself that the blame for the imagination of the tender girl psyche, very upset at that moment, is to blame. According to superstitious old women, a tear falling on the surface of the mirror is absorbed by it. And the culprit (or culprit of this action) will suffer the rest of his life from physical, and possibly mental pain. And no one can escape this fate. If that were the case, probably a third of the world's population would fill all the beds in hospitals forever.

What to do if you have already cried in front of the mirror?

It is impossible to constantly control yourself. What to do if the fact of sobbing in front of the mirror has already taken place? Practicing magicians advise not to despair and try to correct the situation. Stop the flow of tears, calming down. Then moisten a clean rag in cold water and gently wipe the shiny surface. So the traces of the "crime" are washed away. But that's not all.

It is important to smile at your reflection, making him believe that everything is in order. Such a “lie to the rescue” does not provoke the specular opponent to send back the received negative. Some advise even talking to him. It is probably better to do this without witnesses.

Superstitions come true when people believe in them, noticing the regularity of some events. Everyone in life has white stripes periodically replaced by grayish-black. You just need to stay in friendship with the positive, wait and hope only for the good.And then you don’t have to see the reflection in the mirror with eyes wet from tears.
