Breaking a mirror means seven years bad luck (we've all heard this one). Did you know it's considered unlucky to look into a mirror by candlelight? Once a bride has dressed she should not look backwards into the mirror. Don't look into the mirror holding an animal.

To hold a cat up in front of a mirror relects its inner personality - if your cat is agressive, showing it it's reflection will cure the agressiveness. Showing a placid cat it's reflection will cause it remain unsettled and distant.

Mirrors are thought to have two supernatural abilities:
- They bring bad luck
- The help tell the future
If you break a mirror, to counteract the seven years of bad luck, throw salt over your shoulder as soon as it happens, or turn around three timescounter-clockwise.
Although viewed with suspicion by some, it is generally said that having a large number of mirrors in the home is lucky. This is probably because of the mirror's ability to deflect evil and attract good.
Mirrors are a symbol of, among other things, money. Hang one beside the table in the dining room or kitchen to attract wealth and food to the home.
Ideally, no mirror should be hung so low that it "cuts off" the tallest household member's head (doing so may cause headaches). However, mirrors shouldn't be hung too high either.
If you feel sorrowful or troubled while home alone, with no one to talk to and no apparent way to control your blue mood, stand before a mirror and gaze into
your eyes. Your anxiety should disappear. (and its a great way to get a decent conversation!)
