Since time immemorial, people have treated the mirror as a magical attribute and associated many signs with it. Some were afraid to deal with mirrors, considering them to be the work of the devil; others used them in witchcraft rituals. To this day, this household item excites the imagination, and even those who are far from mysticism are alarmed if the mirror suddenly becomes unusable. A broken mirror is given a special meaning. From this article you will learn what to do if a mirror breaks and what this folk sign means.
What is the magic of mirrors
From time immemorial, mirrors have been respected by magicians, witches, mediums and other esotericists. It inspired fear and awe in mere mortals with its incomprehensible mystery. Before the advent of mirrors, people could only see themselves in the motionless surface of reservoirs or in polished metal plates. Everything changed in the 1st century AD. e., when the Romans began to make mirror products by combining tin and glass.
It is believed that a mirror is an abode of spirits, a gateway to a parallel world, and its surface is a good conductor of energy. The mirror perfectly absorbs information and stores it for many years. For this reason, in Japan, for example, antique mirrors are not popular. The Japanese believe that they contain the soul of the former owner. The cracks on the surface of mirrors were credited with the ability to drain vital energy and good luck from a person.
The origins of the sign of a broken mirror must be sought in those distant times when the product cost a lot of money and was a luxury item. The manufacturing process was very labor-intensive and breaking a mirror meant losing a lot of investment. But even despite the purely material side of the issue, the mirror was already famous for its mystical properties, and the sign of a broken mirror acquired many interpretations. And they are all unanimous in one thing - a mirror breaking leads to trouble.
Interpretation according to the location of events
Pay attention to where exactly the mirror broke.
Most often we are talking about an apartment. If a mirror breaks in your home, the interpretation of the sign will depend on the room where it happened:
- The bedroom is a very unkind sign. Perhaps someone is trying to influence you using magic. Also, a broken mirror can warn that you are developing a serious illness. This is a reason to think about your health.
- Bathroom - there is a hypocrite in your environment. Be careful and don’t trust people blindly. In addition, mental disorders may arise due to quarrels and misunderstandings with loved ones.
- Hallway - envious people are plotting against you; damage is possible.
- Children's room - children will cause a lot of trouble.
- Living room - your friend wishes you harm. A more favorable meaning of the sign is unexpected guests.
If you break a mirror in the workplace, it means that there will be obstacles in moving up the career ladder. Fines, disagreements with your boss and colleagues, and even dismissal are possible.
It also happens that a mirror breaks in a car. In this case, the sign calls for maximum caution: it could be a warning about a car breakdown, an accident or an accident.
At work
This attribute is not only available in apartments. They are often used to decorate office premises; halls, offices. There it is also not immune from splits and damage. The breakdown of an accessory in the office has a completely different interpretation:
- misunderstanding with superiors;
- conflicts with colleagues;
- unannounced inspections of control and supervision bodies;
- gross errors in work;
- risk of dismissal;
- monetary punishment.
Don't rush to conclusions. If everything is fine in terms of your work, there are no shortcomings, you do everything on time, your bosses and colleagues are well disposed and are always ready to help, it is unlikely that a deformed mirror promises serious trouble.
There is also the “other side” of the coin:
- removing obstacles to long-awaited career advancement;
- resolving a confusing situation;
- salary increase;
- clarification of the conflict.
Often, a reflective thing reacts to stagnation in some area. There is an accumulation of negativity. The object, by cracking, relieves stress. The energy begins to flow normally again without obstacles. Therefore, you should not immediately prepare to leave your place of work and nervously look for a new one or wait for a “set-up” from your colleagues. No one has canceled common sense.
Depends on who broke
If the culprit of the incident is a lonely guy or young girl, they will face failures in their personal lives. Starting a family in the next seven years will only be a dream.
If an adult married man or married woman is careless, most likely they will face quarrels and misunderstandings in their relationship with their spouses.
For a child, a broken mirror means absolutely nothing. A child's aura is still quite pure and therefore impenetrable to negative external influences.
The same goes for pets. If the mirror breaks due to your pet's fault, there is nothing to worry about.
Folk signs by time of day and days of the week
An important factor is the timing of the unpleasant incident. It makes adjustments to the recognition of signs.
During the day:
- During the day: the usual interpretations given in general interpretations will do.
- In the evening: take a break, relax. The aura was overstrained from the black energy accumulated during the day.
- At night: otherworldly forces are involved. Pray, light candles.
- In the morning: don't plan anything important. The universe will not help you realize it.
Tips for the days of the week:
- Monday: don’t change anything, don’t take any action.
- Tuesday: Postpone starting a new business.
- Wednesday: there may be interference in work.
- Thursday: it's time to clarify the current situation.
- Friday: difficulties in your personal life. Clash of egos of nearby people.
- Saturday: you have to work more than the allotted time, stay overtime.
- Sunday: to tears. Try not to get upset over trifles.
On the 14th lunar day, it is not recommended to look at your reflection at all. If it crashed on this day, then trouble is inevitable.
Broken on purpose or accidentally
An accidentally broken mirror is a sign of impending troubles, and they can arise in any area of life, be it work, family relationships or health. The size of the product is directly proportional to the scale of the problem. A small mirror promises minor insignificant troubles, a large mirror cloth predicts enormous difficulties that may greatly affect a person’s future fate: divorce, dismissal, illness, relocation, etc.
If the mirror fell and broke on its own, without anyone’s intervention, this is an ominous omen. So it warns its owner about a deadly situation: a serious illness or some kind of incident that will put life at risk.
Sometimes a mirror can be broken on purpose, for example, under the influence of emotions. In this case, there is no need to worry. The mirror will simply take away your negative energy. The main thing is not to look at its fragments, so as not to inadvertently take on this burden again.
How to change a sign
If the mirror breaks, do not look at the damaged mirror surface under any circumstances. If you do accidentally catch your reflection in the fragments, don’t panic. Spit three times over your left shoulder and read the spell: “As the mirror broke, the misfortune left me.” After this, wash your face, as if washing away all the misfortunes. For greater effect, you can visualize how dark energy leaves you along with the water.
To neutralize the possible negative consequences of a sign, you need to perform a simple ritual. To do this, you will need Thursday salt, blessed water and a candle, preferably a church candle. Sprinkle the glass shards with water and pass a lit candle over them several times while reciting the Lord's Prayer. You can also turn to the Virgin Mary or any other patron saint for help. After this, the scene of the incident is sprinkled with Thursday salt and left for several days to cleanse the energy of the space. After the expiration date, the salt is dissolved in water and the house is wet cleaned using this solution.
The broken mirror needs to be replaced. According to the rules, a new product is chosen in a larger size and placed in the same place as the previous one.
When is breaking a mirror good?
In fairness, it should be noted that there are also good signs associated with a broken mirror:
If there are an odd number of fragments and if a young guy or an unmarried girl lives in the house, then a wedding is coming. The sign promises a fun and crowded feast.
If on the eve of the event a sick person was reflected in the mirror, the sign promises him a speedy recovery.
Also, a broken mirror performs a cleansing function for the room where it is located. The object seems to take on the negative energy of space, after which it eliminates itself.
What fell did not break: meaning
The accessory does not always become completely unusable. Correspondences have also been found for this:
- When the mirror remained intact after the fall, a small part broke off - a good omen. You are protected.
- If it cracked or burst, it repelled a witchcraft attack.

What to do with a broken mirror
You need to get rid of a broken mirror as soon as possible. As a rule, the culprit of the incident is responsible for cleaning up the fragments, except in cases where the blame for the broken mirror lies with children or pets. Before you start cleaning, take care of your own safety: be sure to wear gloves so that, firstly, you do not injure your hands on the glass, and secondly, so as not to come into contact with the dark energy of a broken thing.
Then proceed as follows:
- First, collect large pieces and wrap them in a dark cloth or bag. It is recommended to bury the fragments in a vacant lot or throw them into a pond, but in addition to the fact that this is not environmentally friendly, this method of disposal is often not possible in a city. Therefore, it is acceptable to throw the fragments into a trash container.
- Use a broom, dustpan, and floor rag to remove small glass shards. After cleaning, the rag must be thrown away, and the broom and dustpan must be thoroughly shaken out and washed.
- Do not talk to anyone while cleaning. You can mentally pronounce the words of prayer or conspiracy.
Church opinion
The Orthodox Church does not consider a mirror a sacred object and has a negative attitude towards superstitions. When new things appear at home, in the country or in the office, you should get rid of evil energy with the help of holy water.
The priests clarify that fragile objects are easily damaged. This means they will break one day. It is the evil spirit that makes people afraid of such everyday events. Orthodoxy does not recommend that believers attach importance to accidents.
Other signs with a mirror
Some other signs are also associated with the mirror:
- Look into a broken mirror. It is believed that seeing your reflection in a broken mirror means dooming yourself to misfortune. Discord may begin in your relationship with your significant other, sudden difficulties at work, financial losses, health problems, etc. Another interpretation says that by looking in a broken mirror, you are thereby splitting your personality. Your energy weakens and becomes permeable to malicious entities from the subtle world.
- Fallen mirror. If the product fell but did not break, then this is a favorable sign for the owner of the house. He says that the owner of the mirror has a strong biofield: failures bypass him, and if problems arise, they are solved quite easily and always in his favor. At the same time, a fallen mirror is a reason to be more attentive to your surroundings. Perhaps some people are planning evil against you.
- The mirror broke into 2 parts. When a mirror splits in half, in most cases it means quarrels and misunderstandings in relationships with a partner. The sign can also be interpreted as a sign of imminent separation or even final separation from a loved one.
- The mirror broke in his hands. A cracked mirror in the hands symbolizes a broken heart and warns of betrayal on the part of the other half.
