From a practical point of view, a mirror is a functional object that is present in every home in all kinds of design incarnations and modifications. But as soon as it breaks, people immediately in a panic start looking for good and bad meanings associated with mirrors, trying to figure out the sign of why the mirror is breaking.
Despite the routine of everyday situations, internal anxiety arises for a reason, if you believe the omen, the liberated magical power can both harm and help a person. Unfortunately, in most cases these are unfavorable forecasts, however, over the centuries, wise people have developed effective techniques and methods of protection, so do not be discouraged when mirrors are broken by negligence, by a child or a cat – you just need to correctly decipher the sign sent from above and act according to the situation .
Under any circumstances, one cannot lose self-control and common sense; special conspiracies and a positive attitude will help to solve the problem.
So what does a broken mirror mean?
The logic of ancestors explaining the reasons for the emergence of bad signs about a broken mirror is understandable. At the dawn of civilization, the ancients could not explain why silhouettes of living creatures are reflected in the polished surface. People believed that this was the gateway to the other world, where access to mere mortals was prohibited.
For many centuries, there was confirmation that beyond the conventional line there is a space where non-material entities live. Evil spirits and deities can predict fate or teach a reckless person a lesson who will try to violate the boundaries between reality and the Mystic through the looking glass.
According to the signs, a broken mirror may mean that the spirits are angry and want to punish the person by sending him tests in the form of:
- seven years of bad luck and failure;
- material losses;
- quarrels with a person from close circle;
- breaking up with a partner (betrayal, divorce, sometimes the beginning of a new relationship);
- illness of relatives, loss of a family member or just an acquaintance;
- trouble at work.
In fairness, I must say that there are examples of not only negative consequences. Many women noticed that mirrors were broken in their house before joyful events – a wedding or shortly before pregnancy. People who trust omens know that not all dreams are prophetic and not all bad events inevitably have tragic consequences. Each specific incident can be both a harbinger of life's drama, and an insignificant episode that deserves no more attention than a daily cleaning.
Why can't you look in a broken mirror
The first rule says that you cannot look into a broken mirror, the consequences can be tragic: parting, illness, sometimes even a threat to life. It is believed that the energy force of a particular person can evaporate, shattering into fragments, in which the body is reflected in parts.
That is why knowledgeable people recommend installing in the house not type-setting structures, but solid canvases in which the human figure is displayed completely, where the head or legs will not be crushed and 'cut off'.
The next sign, why you can't look into the fragments of the mirror, also bodes little pleasant – seven years of failures and misfortunes. Agree, the period is really considerable, especially on the eve of fateful changes, for example, travel, choice of profession or change of place of residence.
Caution will not prevent unmarried girls of marriageable age, who will have to postpone their marriage for the same long seven years. It makes sense to take care to overcome curiosity, concentrate and organize the cleaning without the risk of seeing your reflection.
What to do if you looked in a broken mirror
Anything happens in life, so you shouldn't make a tragedy out of the fact that for some reason you had to look in a broken mirror. The wise people have developed a defense – you need to immediately wash yourself with running water, saying special words: 'What is broken, it was broken, but it did not affect me.'
Here, psychologists come in to support esotericists, who strongly advise to laugh at the situation, replace the negative with positive, correctly form and use attitudes for success. After an unpleasant incident, no matter under what circumstances and by whom the mirrors were broken, there is a risk that a person will program himself to fail in any business, turning everything into bad omens about mirrors.
With such a course of thinking, it is impossible to tune in to an effective solution to obstacles and obstacles, on the contrary, troubles will 'stick' to the superstitious client throughout the entire period.
Mirror broke: what to do
People who are not superstitious or those whose professional activities involve working with the production and processing of functional accessories do not bother about this. The rest should remember the algorithm of actions in case the mirror is broken at home or in the office:

It is a very bad omen that when the mirror scattered into fragments in all corners of the room, not everyone remembers what words should be said to ward off trouble from their loved ones. In this case, just read to yourself the 'Our Father' and the prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos.
- Cover the shards with an opaque material. Not only is this step not to be skipped for safety and cut protection reasons, but it is also a way to avoid accidentally reflecting your face in the shards.
- Do not clean with bare hands, wear gloves or wrap your hands in a cloth so as not to interact with the debris that contains negative energy.
- Use a broom and a scoop, and put all parts in an opaque bag. Garbage is subject to immediate disposal, after cleaning, the attributes are washed, having previously thrown a broom three times so that it hits the ground.
Note: the fewer bystanders there will be during the cleaning, the better.
