What Does Breaking A Mirror Mean?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Breaking a mirror does not mean anything if you look at it practically. It is an age-old superstition which says that you can invite 7 years of bad luck, if the mirror breaks. Due to the reflective surface of the mirror, people assumed it to have magical power. In fact the mirror is even known to 'reflect' your future. If the mirror breaks, it supposedly means 'breaking your future.' According to the old wives' tales, the only way you can reverse the bad luck is by burying all the broken pieces and fragments deep inside the earth. Another line of superstition associated 'breaking of a mirror' with a death in the family.

    On a practical note, yes; the mirror can give you bad news. You may just have to stop and collect the pieces to dispose them. You may also have to loosen your purse-strings to shell out money for a new glass piece or glass ware.
