SUPERSTITIONS : Breaking A Mirror Brings Bad Luck For Seven Years
LORE & SOURCES
The superstitions surrounding the mirror are some of the oldest, for they relate to the idea that our reflection is another version of the original, and if we somehow damage the mirror we are therefore damaging ourselves, damaging the reflection is damaging our souls.


Vampiric Legend reflects more closely to the negative aspect of the mirror superstition, for, as we commonly understand, a vampire has no soul and therefore no reflection, and as the blood of the victim is slowly drained from the body and the vampire's incisors make their mark, so the individual watches his reflection in the mirror slowly disappear.


Even a disturbance in the reflection can cause an imbalance in the relationship between the body and soul, and this is where the seven years bad luck comes into the story. As always the period of bad luck is seven years because of the belief that the body changes its physiological make up every seven years.
