Among the people, the attitude to the mirror is very ambiguous. A huge number of different mystical stories are associated with mirrors. It is believed that this is a window into the other world, which is able to influence the daily life of a person. In the world, a mass of signs associated with mirrors, and one of them says: in no case should you give a mirror.

An ancient legend claims that mirrors were given to people by evil spirits who want to penetrate the world of the living through them. Excessive self-admiration is also considered a sin, that’s how the dark forces killed two birds with one stone at once: they opened a corridor for themselves and began to embarrass people. The girl sits and admires her reflection for days, and she simply has no time to think about serious things.
There is another very interesting story related to mirrors. There is an opinion that reflection in a mirror is nothing but a double of a person in the world through the looking glass. As if, if you suddenly turn to the mirror, you can see how your reflection will repeat your action, but with some delay. If you often look at your reflection, you can anger your double from the looking glass and bring on all sorts of sorrows and deprivations.
Mirrors are also considered collectors of human vital energy, so psychics categorically do not recommend spending a lot of time in front of them. An old mirror can send you a bunch of negative energy from those who looked at it earlier, and even send a curse to the whole family.
It is well known that when a person dies in a house, all the mirrors in the room will certainly be hung up so that the soul of the deceased easily leaves this mortal world and does not accidentally fall into the realm of dark spirits who live on the other side of the mirror surface.
The worst signs are also associated with mirrors. It is believed that if the mirror is broken, then misfortunes will occur in the house for seven years. It is also not recommended to look in a cracked mirror, otherwise all life will go awry.

Of course, such a magical and mysterious object is categorically impossible to give to anyone. Such a gift can bring trouble. It used to be that if they give a mirror, then they simply want to get rid of a person.
In 2006, sellers of antiques turned to people through the media with a very unusual request. They warned lovers of antiquity that no one should in any way buy an antique mirror that says "Louis Arpo, 1743." This mirror in its entire centuries-old history has caused the death of at least 38 people. Almost all the owners of this mirror died suddenly from a hemorrhage in the brain.
In the Parisian newspapers, many mysterious stories were told related to this damned subject. The mirror was stored for a long time in the evidence warehouse in Paris, however, when one forensic scientist decided to make a series of photographs of this legendary mirror, then it turned out that someone had stolen it. The theft took place in 2006, and no one knows the exact location of this unusual and mystical object. Perhaps it was stolen by order of a collector who wants to try his magic power on himself, and he just wants to make a trip through the looking glass.

You can not believe in all these signs and legends considering this the speculation of suspicious people, but it’s better not to give a mirror. It is better to make sure in advance that the person to whom you intend to give such a gift does not believe in signs and superstition.
However, when buying a mirror as a gift, it is better to observe a few simple rules:
- Give antique and old mirrors only if you are sure that this gift will appeal to those to whom it is intended.
- When buying a new mirror, it is better to take a copy from the warehouse in the package. The mirror, which hung for a long time in the trading floor, could also absorb a lot of negative energy.
- When you present a mirror as a gift, ask for a small fee for it.
Probably the monarchs did not believe in bad signs associated with mirrors. For example, Maria Medici once ordered 119 mirrors from her Venetian masters for her cabinet. As a sign of appreciation and as a bonus to wholesale purchase, the mirror masters from Venice presented the French queen with an additional mirror, the frame of which was generously decorated with agates, onyxes and fools. I wonder if you would suddenly be presented with such a little thing, then you began to believe in the bad omens associated with mirrors?
If you nevertheless were suddenly presented with a mirror, and you believe in signs, then you should not immediately shy away from the gift and spoil the mood for yourself and your loved ones. Most likely, the donor did this not out of malice. Perhaps I didn’t even hear about such signs.
You can wash the donated mirror with holy water or light church candles near it to neutralize bad energy.
