Although this is not my first post on Hoodoo, I've been posting on Hoodoo for over a decade, maybe longer; I've lost count. This is one of the first posts I created on this page. Next year will be this page's five-year anniversary. I created this page because I wanted a designated place to post educational Hoodoo content I'd never seen before on social media. I'm not talking about a "how-to" page but a page that was centered on the culture and true essence of Hoodoo, such as its tales, customs, cultural figures, and spirits. I thank everyone for following and supporting. As I'm approaching five years, expect some changes and new things coming. I love you...
Mirrors are portals and can capture the spirit, memories, or reflection of anyone who looks into it. It's said the soul is located in the reflection. They reflect your reality and the inner you including your darkest feelings about yourself. However, since they're such spiritual tools they can be used to capture positive spiritual energy as well or reveal the supernatural.
Here are some Hoodoo beliefs about the mirror 🪞
*If death occurs especially in the home cover your mirrors 🪞 and pictures are turned towards the wall. The mirrors 🪞 can tarnish and it's bad luck to capture the reflection of the corps in the mirror. The person's soul who has passed can be held in the mirror.
*A baby shouldn't be allowed to look in the mirror before they're a year old or else they may have problems with teething, be tongue-tied, crossed-eyed if they see their father for the first time in the mirror 🪞. Or grow to be ugly or unattractive.
*It's bad luck for two people to look in the mirror at the same time or the youngest may die or a ghost may be seen.
*It's unlucky to look into a mirror after sundown.
*If you break a mirror you will get bad luck, but you may reverse the bad luck by running the broken pieces under water to wash away the bad luck. Take the pieces break them up and toss them away.
*If you go to the cemetery at 12 noon or midnight with a mirror 🪞 and a pair of scissors ✂️, hold the mirror 🪞 up at midnight, and drop the scissors ✂️ you will be able to see the reflection of the person you want to talk to. The siccors help with protection and cuts away doubt and fear.
*If you look in a well through a mirror on the first day of May you will see your future lover.
