In Russia, there are many signs associated with mirrors. People have long believed that a mirror is a door to parallel worlds and is capable of absorbing negative energy, and then throwing it out with a disrespectful attitude towards oneself. Many superstitions are associated with mirrors, for example: for some reason you cannot look into the same mirror together.
You can be jinxed
Some believe that you can easily jinx a person if you look in the mirror with him at the same time, especially when you think something bad about him at that moment. The mirror absorbs negative energy and gives it to an energetically weaker person. So you can easily become a victim of the evil eye, or, on the contrary, become the unwitting culprit of someone's troubles.
Beauty and youth can be stolen from you
It is believed that through a mirror you can even steal life energy from a person. An envious look thrown through a mirror can take away beauty, freshness and youth. An energetically weak person will begin to feel sad more often, will constantly feel tired and will literally fade before our eyes.
Looking together in the mirror - to a quarrel
This is especially true for girls. It is believed that after two friends look at the same time in the mirror, then they will surely fall in love with one guy, and then they will quarrel forever. True, guys can also fall in love with one girl, but male solidarity should definitely help them find a compromise.
You can see the hidden thoughts of a person
Spouses also do not need to stand in front of a mirror together. They say that you can see all the negative sides of your half and change your attitude towards her. Allegedly, from this moment, the spouses will notice only negative qualities in their partner, and this leads to inevitable separation.
Fates can be changed
Here is another interpretation of this superstition: it is believed that you can take on all the troubles of a person with whom you look in the mirror at the same time. It turns out that people seem to exchange destinies: they lose luck and attract negativity. So, those who dream of getting a promotion should look in the same mirror with their boss more often.
How to keep yourself safe
Of course, no one is obliged to believe in this omen, but if you still want to protect yourself, then simply “blow away the trouble”. If you accidentally look in the mirror with someone at the same time, then blow on it to dispel witchcraft and repel negative energy.
