10/9/2006 - Breaking Mirrors

I am sure many of us has heared that if you break a mirror it will bring 7 years bad luck

Now with all the mystisim that has surrounded mirrors, and the common Pagan beleif that mirrors do act as portals into other worlds, or different relams, and that they aree windows into the spritual world it is no wonder that there should be some consequence for breaking one, but I was driven to do a bit of reasearch on this supersition, as I wondered just who it was decipered that it would be precisiely 7 years of bad luck to come from breaking one, and this is what I discovered.

The 7 years bad luck penality came from the Roman belief that a mans body was phsyicaly rejuvinated evry 7 years, in essence, becoming a new man and so for the effects of the bad luck to wear off you had to wait untill you were "reborn"

One ward against the evil of breaking a mirror and to try and prevent the curse of the bad luck to fall upon you is to remove the mirror from the house, or building in which it was broken and bury it.
