Mirror Messages

• Mirrors that are fogged up such as your
  bathroom mirror after you shower can leave
  messages impressions from spirit on the other
  side.
• Many mirrors are actually windows to other
  realities.
• A mirror message manifests all at once not
  slowly as if drawn by an artist. For example if
  a face was to appear the entire face would
  materialize at one time.

• We all have portals in our homes that open and
  close. This does not necessarily link with
  hauntings or projections.
• We suggest you place one or more mirrors over
  your bathroom vanity when become fogged up it
  may leave messages for you. The messages are
  usually clearly visible and in picture form
  rather than numerical or in written symbols.
• These mirrors link to a window' on the other
  side. Often messages are sent through by spirit
  after you come out of the shower or a hot bath.
• You will receive a thought to pay attention to
  one or more of the mirrors. It's all done with
  mirrors!!

• Try this experiment Go into the bathroom and
  shut the door and window so the hot air will be
  trapped in the room.
• Clean your mirror with a paper/regular towel.
• You can use the water from the sink or the
  shower.
• Allow only hot water to run.
• Wait until your mirror fogs up before you shut
  the window.
• When it is fully fogged up shut the water and
  allow the mirror to project its images.
• They may come through slowly or quickly.
• One mirror can create an entire picture.
• Observe the mirror from various angles.
• You may be surprised at what you see!
• It may take several attempts to correctly
  perceive the images which can vary in size.

Magic Mirrors

• Magic Mirrors were used in olden days to enable
  one to see the present, the past and the future.
  They are of great variety, and of great
  antiquity. They seem to be of Persian origin, the
  Magi having used them for a method of divination
  called Catoptromancy.
• The persons who, in Rome, read these mirrors were
  called Specularii.
• The Chinese and the Hindus made theirs of metal,
  concave or convex. In the East these instruments
  were called Stellar Mirrors.

• It was believed that they were accurate provided
  they were made under a favorable constellation,
  and that they should only be consulted when one
  felt comfortably warm, for the cold harms the
  lucidity of their oracle. Reinaud speaks of them
  in his Description of the Blacas Cabinet. The
  operators perfume them, fast for seven days
  before using them, and recite sacramental prayers
  at the moment of consulting them.
• Some bore the name of their inventor (Cagliostro,
  Swedenborg, etc.) More recently they have been
  used to fix the eye of clairvoyants or mediums so
  as to put them into a state of hypnosis. (see
  Mirror Scrying slide). Cahagnet, in his Magnetic
  Magic, quotes the principal mirrors as follows

7

• The Theurgic Mirror a bottle of clear water
  looked at by a child in which the Archangel
  Gabriel replies by pictures to his questions.
• The Mirror of the Sorcerers any kind of mirror
  or pail of water. The sorcerer, standing near the
  consultant, recites a spell shows him the
  reflection of the picture wanted.
• The Mirror of Cagliostro the bottle of clear
  water is on a piece of furniture, before it a
  child, on whose head the operator places one hand
  tells him the questions to ask, to which
  replies are given in allegorical pictures.
• The Mirror of du Polet a piece of cardboard
  having pasted on one side a sheet of tin on the
  other a piece of black cloth. The operator
  magnetizes it strongly places it a foot away
  from the eye of the consultant who, having fixed
  his eyes on it, soon sees in it the desired
  object.
• The Swedenborgian Mirror a paste of graphite
  mixed with olive oil is poured on an ordinary
  mirror allowed to dry for a few days. The
  consultant, whose image must not be reflected (he
  stands at a distance for this reason) looks into
  it, while the operator stares magnetically at the
  back of his head, vision takes place.
• The Magnetic Mirror a round crystal globe filled
  with magnetized water at which the consultant
  looks carefully until the desired vision appears.
  
• The Narcotic Mirror similar globe but a narcotic
  powder made of belladonna, henbane, mandragora,
  hemp, poppy, etc., is dissolved in the water.
• The Galvanic Mirror Made of two discs, one of
  copper concave, the other of zinc convex,
  both magnetized 9-times in 9-days. The center of
  the concave is looked at.

Mirror Scrying

• Mirror scrying is an ancient Celtic tool, but
  it's been used in all shamanic traditions at one
  time or another. The Celts just did more crazy
  things with it. Originally, its purpose was
  related to the military, as in looking into a
  pool of water to see an enemy's actions and/or
  shape shifting to a strategic location. Using a
  mirror to scry instead of water accomplishes the
  same thing. You're using the silver as 'water' in
  the mirror and also what has 'set' into the
  liquid silver. Mirror scrying can be seen as a
  water exercise and has those elements and
  characteristics.
• The Mirror Itself The type of mirror you use is
  important. The older it is, the better. Newer
  mirrors don't use silver for one thing. You can
  find older ones at estate sales or sometimes
  antique stores will have some scraps in the back.
  If you do find a scrap, put a wood frame and back
  on it. It also should be a bathroom or daily-use
  mirror as opposed to a decorative or ornamental
  one. This means that a lot of people's energy
  will be in there (it gets set into the
  liquid/silver), making it much more powerful and
  pliable. At first, it's easier to connect with
  people's energy in the mirror and see what they
  saw and who they are/were (hint this is an
  exercise in itself).

• Cleansing The Mirror When you first obtain the
  mirror, it must be 'cleansed' with Intent by the
  user. This can be done a number of ways by using
  Reiki, your hand, a significant feather,
  salt/breath or just your breath are all effective
  techniques Once the mirror is initially
  cleansed, it should be fine. Remember, though,
  that these are basic suggested cleansing
  techniques, uncomplicated, and using Intent is
  the key element. Keeping it simple is always
  best.
• Use the Reiki Power symbol on it by simply
  drawing it above the mirror, then move it into
  the surface and through the mirror with your
  hand. The power symbol gets it clean and keeps it
  that way.
• You can also sweep the mirror using your hand or
  breath. Go from left to right (palm down) and
  move it across and off the mirror. Once is
  enough.
• Put some sea salt on the surface of the mirror
  and then use your breath in the same way and
  motion as if you were using your hand.
• Run a feather (one used in shamanic work) across
  the surface from left to right.

10

• Setting Up For The Exercise The physical set up
  for using the mirror is simple also. You can put
  it on a table and pull up a chair or sit on the
  floor with the mirror in your lap. Either way,
  make sure that you're comfortable and cannot see
  your own reflection in it. Use a dark room and a
  couple of candles positioned in the following
  way
• Candle ______ Candle
• -------Mirror-------
• _______YOU_______
• You can see by the amazing artwork above where
  each element is placed in the exercise. With the
  candles, you are setting up a field or space in
  which to work and with things being positioned
  this way it places you visually inside that
  space. You are essentially connecting two
  triangles one formed by you, the mirror and the
  candles, and the other created in non-linear
  space and time by the reflection of the two
  candles in the mirror itself. This will compress
  your energy similar to the way it's done in the
  Recapitulation. When everything is chugging along
  like it should, you will find yourself feeling as
  though the two candles are actually behind you as
  you move into alignment. Another purpose for the
  candles is to create the proper smoky quality to
  lay across the surface of the mirror.

11

• The Exercise Once you've got the space, mirror,
  candles, and you set up get physically
  comfortable, take a deep breath and let it out.
  Clear your mind and focus on what you are about
  to do. Create an Intent or ask a question using
  Intent. You can say it out loud, that helps. Also
  visualize it, feel it in every part of your
  being, 'your bones', and then push it out with
  your will. Let it go, detach from it as you move
  it. Your Intent can be anything, but it should be
  crystal clear. Okay, begin by looking at the
  surface of the mirror (remember that you are not
  seeing any reflection). At one point, it may go
  black or silvery and you will feel a shift.
  You're on the way!
• The feeling you will find is that the mirror
  surface itself becomes much like water. Allow it
  to move and change, then ask your question or
  state your Intent again. Intent is very important
  going in but it is also important once you
  realize you have moved that you restate the
  obvious so to speak. Don't do it verbally though,
  having set the Intent you know the feeling, so
  simply express it in those terms. This allows
  your energy to flow through much better.

12

• Some Things You'll Notice It's hard to say
  exactly what will happen. It depends on you, how
  you move, and what your manifested Intent will
  bring. As a first step, you can work with scrying
  on the surface of the mirror to look at things. A
  second step (once a certain expertise is acquired
  and verified) is to move through the mirror. And,
  of course, then there's shape shifting and
  disappearing from this attention. At least,
  that's how I see a natural progression as one
  works with this.
• Remain open and fluid. If you have problems with
  getting much from the mirror, you can add smoke
  to the mixture by placing incense at the bottom
  of your mirror and using the smoke that rises
  across it's face as a sort of liquid energy to
  change the reflection of it.
• The surface may not change much. You may just
  dive straight in. The nice thing about this
  method is that it is relatively harmless you
  don't have to worry about going off the deep end.
  If you start seeing things you don't want to,
  just don't look. Other methods are more
  transportive and can cause you to have to deal
  with things whether you want to or not.

13

• With practice it is a powerful tool that was used
  extensively by all sorts of people in the past.
  Its uses are truly limitless, and you should
  approach it this way. Once you learn to trap your
  attention, you can learn to journey with it, seek
  visions or answers to questions, affect outcomes,
  moving through time (seeing into the future and
  past), move to different places in this time,
  memory retrieval, finding something or someone,
  stalking outcomes, communicating with shamans,
  and retrieving information. It throws you pretty
  convincingly up the ladders of energy.
• In the process, you learn about Intent and
  energy, how to use it, what it looks like and all
  sorts of things. Remember that it still remains a
  tool and merely the means to accomplish an
  Intent. Intent is about movement and mirror
  scrying can be a vehicle for this.
