Be not afraid of an Eye opening experience....
The power of mirrors or any reflective surface to reveal what is hidden has been known since ancient times. Gazing upon shiny surfaces is one of the oldest forms of scrying, a method of divination practiced by the early Egyptians, Arabs, the Magi of Persia, Greeks and Romans. In Russian folklore, mirrors are the invention of the devil because they have the power to draw souls out of bodies. Throughout history, mirror gazing, or scrying, has been used to look into the future, answer questions, solve problems, find lost objects and people, and identify or find thieves and criminals. Scryers stare into the reflective surface until they are in light trances, and they see visions or otherwise know the unseen. Badly placed mirrors are sometimes a factor in hauntings. Mirrors should not be placed at the foot or head of a bed, for folk lore holds that they may provide a doorway for spirits to enter the room.
The oldest and most common speculum is water in a lake, pond or dark bowl. Ink, blood and other dark were also liquids. Medieval European adepts used mirrors, bowls of water, polished stones and crystals. Nostradamus did his scrying with a bowl of water set upon a brass tripod.
