The sign about a broken mirror is popularly classified as one of the most terrible. Which is not surprising: after all, it promises seven whole unhappy years and many other completely bad things. Pah-pah-pah. Why? Let's try to figure it out.
The history of superstitions about mirrors
Today, a mirror is used as a beautiful interior detail and a necessary thing in everyday life. Like a charger for a smartphone. But our great-grandmothers not only preened themselves in front of mirrors, but also looked out for the betrothed in them, told fortunes and did other things magical rituals. What is a mirror? And why are there so many negative interpretations of this “broken” sign?
And in past times and today, esoteric scientists and ordinary people They believed and still believe that mirrors are corridors between different dimensions, conductors from our familiar world to other, otherworldly ones. In addition, it is believed that mirrors have the ability to accumulate both positive and negative information. Hence the special attitude towards mirrors - not just a household item, but a kind of semi-magical artifact.
Why can't you look in a broken mirror?
A reflection in a mirror is an energy double that impartially watches us from a magical looking glass. That is why they say that it is better not to look into a broken mirror - our behind-the-mirror energy “I” can crumble into small fragments, which threatens feeling unwell and minor troubles. Particular care should be taken when handling old mirrors, which have been storing unknown information for centuries, unfortunately not always good.
The mirror fell or cracked, but did not break
Please note that not only a broken mirror, but also a simply cracked mirror is considered dangerous. The crack is a portal through which all the negative energy accumulated by the mirror comes out. Accordingly, it is not recommended to look into a cracked mirror as straight as into a broken one.
But a mirror that just fell, or got into any other “trouble”, but was not damaged, does not pose any danger - these are someone’s completely baseless notions.
If a child breaks a mirror
There are no special exceptions here, except for one thing - if the child is still small enough, he may simply not know and not believe in any signs, which, oddly enough, will be a kind of screen from negative consequences, and besides, he is protected to a greater extent by the mother’s energy. The main thing here is not to be scared yourself and not to scare the child.
Negative signs and superstitions in one line
Let's sum it up summary and we will briefly outline the main negative signs about mirrors:
- A mirror accidentally broken in the house promises 7 years of unhappiness and disappointment for the whole family;
- Broken into many small fragments, the mirror promises even greater troubles, even the most terrible ones (ugh three times);
- Antique mirrors are fraught with many mysteries, and who knows what quirks this reflective glass has seen in the past. It is better to get rid of such old-timers as quickly as possible;
- A cracked mirror is a conductor negative energy and can bring major troubles to those looking at it;
- If cracked, it will bring illness to those who look at it, accompanied by serious troubles.
What to do with a broken mirror
The first thing is not to panic, but to carefully collect the remains of luxury and throw them in the trash, first wrapping them in black (or any other dark fabric). Then the fragments must be taken away from the house as soon as possible. To collect small residues, use a dampened broom rather than a vacuum cleaner and try not to talk to anyone during this process. If you are superstitious enough, you can collect the fragments and wash them under running water. Water will remove the negative information that was released from the broken mirror.
A cracked mirror should also be wrapped in cloth and simply thrown away as soon as possible.
And don’t forget to perform the most important ritual that will neutralize any bad omen. Go to a cleanly washed mirror (a whole one), smile broadly at your own reflection and promise yourself out loud that everything you had, is and will be just wonderful! As they say: “Good will never die, but evil will disappear.”
There are many signs and superstitions about mirrors. Most bad omen counts if the mirror breaks. What danger does a broken mirror pose and is it possible to prevent the danger of this superstition?
The mirror breaks - what is it for?
It is believed that if a mirror breaks, you will not see happiness for seven years. Do not rush to believe this bad omen. The meaning of this superstition comes from the belief of our ancestors that a reflective surface is a door to afterlife. Accordingly, if the mirror breaks, creatures from another world penetrate into our reality.
If you look at the situation from an esoteric point of view, then the mirror is just an energy storage device at home. And if the mirror breaks, it means there is an excess of negative energy in the room. Based on this, we can conclude that a broken mirror is a kind of signal that the atmosphere in the house is heated to the limit and it’s time to change something.
If dishes, mirrors and other fragile objects often break in the house, it’s time to energetically clean the house.
What to do if a mirror breaks
If you accidentally break a mirror, don’t panic and think that seven years of misfortune will now befall you. The power of acceptance lies in the fact that people believe them. Why believe in bad things? It’s better not to think about the bad at all!
However, in order to completely protect yourself from bad thoughts and the likelihood of this sign coming true, it is best to collect the fragments and throw them away from home. Remember that you cannot look into a broken mirror and pick up the fragments with your bare hands - you can destroy your energy. Take a towel or gloves and carefully discard the broken mirror.
It should be noted that mirrors accumulate all the information about the house and its inhabitants. Therefore, if you want your mirrors to accumulate only positive energy, smile at your reflection more often. And believe only in good signs and superstitions that help you live and do not give rise to fears in you! We wish you good luck and don't forget to press the buttons and

Signs after death have been observed for many hundreds of years. Despite the prohibition of the church, many are trying to fulfill peculiar...
According to the old folk signs, then a broken mirror is one of the most terrible things...
About the signs of fate. Future significant events that determine our destiny, meeting our betrothed, improving our financial situation, pregnancy, are often preceded by signs. Signs of change are associated with special objects that have a symbolic meaning: watches, birds, icons, wedding rings. Such a thing could be a mirror, since ancient times it was attributed magical properties. Everyone knows the old way Christmas fortune telling when they placed two mirrors opposite each other in order to see fate in the corridor of reflections. A mirror in the popular consciousness is associated with the ability to predict the future. We treat this everyday item with alarming attention. The mirror seems a little magical. I write separately about shocking mystical situations with broken mirrors.
All stories are real, taken from open sources.
1. The mirror breaks to success, luck, luck in business.
There is an idea that a mirror is capable of collecting negativity and absorbing it into itself. After all, he monitors our lives every day. Therefore, on a symbolic level, the fragments represent the destruction of past troubles and suffering. It is no coincidence that many, in a fit of anger and pain, strive to break the mirror and crush evil. There are many examples when it’s true: things take a successful turn, new stage life, positive changes come.
We lived in the village then. We have guests, many guests. An oval mirror hung on the stele. And then there is an explosion of laughter, the mirror falls from the wall and into dust. Our life went uphill from that moment on! Since then I don't believe that broken mirrors bring bad luck.
After every adventure with broken mirrors, something good happens to me. For me, this is like the beginning of a new stage in life. I remember when I broke the mirror for the first time, I met my husband on the same day. The second time the mirror broke was the day I found out that they had found us an apartment in the building where I wanted to buy it.
You know, here’s to change, I agree! After my son broke the mirror, a drastic change occurred in my life. Favorable, as it turned out later!!!
In 2004, my husband accidentally broke a huge mirror while packing for his divorce. I thought: " Good omen. This means life will change dramatically good side! And so it happened. During this time, I met my current one and gave birth to my second baby. Everything is fine.
Sometimes your luck is not so global, but nice little things They also keep you warm. Remember this so as not to program yourself for negativity!
Today I broke a mirror. I received 2 offers for part-time work for a good salary.
When I was a student, getting ready for an exam, I broke a mirror. I thought that a retake was guaranteed, but I received an “excellent”. This is all nonsense...
2. The mirror breaks before moving
Getting or buying an apartment, moving to another country are also big changes in fate and there are also signs. Sometimes birds knock on the window, I dream strange dreams. In one family, on the eve of an unexpected solution to the housing problem, dad brought christmas tree with a nest in the branches! Such an original hint of providence. And mirrors, as objects that personify the mystical side of everyday life, can be broken. Say goodbye to the old place - changes are coming!
Over the course of three years, I broke all the mirrors in my mother’s apartment. There are only hanging ones left in the bathroom and hallway. Everyone is alive and well. Perhaps this really is a change. She left for another country, where she stayed. Unexpectedly for myself.
We, like many who lived in the former Prussia, had an old large German mirror. One day my father came home from work not too sober. He started to take off his boots, and one boot flew straight into that mirror. With a terrible roar, this luxurious dressing table fell into pieces onto the floor. We lived in a small one-room apartment on the first floor. I remember my mother’s fear: “Someone will die!” Contrary to legend, no one died, and we very soon moved to the second floor in a large two-room apartment. The frame from the mirror was saved and a new mirror sheet was inserted there. A couple of years later we moved to a more luxurious huge three-room apartment in a mansion. The mirror, of course, was with us.
3. The mirror breaks during pregnancy
Special case important events- change in the family system. This is a huge topic - omens, dreams and signs of pregnancy. I can tell dozens amazing stories! A mirror as a symbol of connection with another world is one of the ways to send you a hint of imminent happiness!
I broke a mirror seven years ago. Only now I understand: there is something mystical in this. I found out 2 weeks later that I was pregnant. The first, long-awaited child.
This is for pregnancy, I’m sure. My child didn’t work out for several months. My husband was returning home and noticed a black cat. She crossed our path. And then he also broke a large mirror. The next day the test showed that I was pregnant.
This sign manifested itself exactly like this 2 times for me. Both times I found out I was pregnant after breaking mirrors.
This is our family sign. Mom broke the mirror, got upset, and soon found out that she was pregnant. My sister broke a mirror that had been standing and alive for a hundred years - she found out about her pregnancy. I obviously didn’t break anything, I unexpectedly found a broken mirror in my makeup bag and now I’m expecting a baby. Tune in to positive signs!
4. The mirror breaks for a meeting with the betrothed, for the wedding
Bride means unknown. She is the “newest” family member in her husband’s family. Therefore in ancient times wedding ceremony was essentially a funeral, with lamentations and lamentations. The bride died, a wife was born. Big transition - big changes.
My mom broke large mirror and that same evening I met my father, with whom I lived for 50 years.
I broke it three years ago - everything has gotten even better! I got married and have a baby soon! It was also unpleasant, bad thoughts came to mind at first, but this fact was forgotten!
Count the large fragments. You can use them to find out how soon your wedding will take place.
I heard that if a mirror breaks, you need to count how many fragments (large pieces) there are. No matter how many years you count, you will get married in as many years. At first I laughed, and then I remembered that at the age of 16 I broke a huge mirror that hung in my room above the chest of drawers. The mirror, as I remember now, shattered into three large pieces, one of which remained hanging on the wall. Nothing bad happened that year, quite the opposite. And most importantly: exactly three years later I got married.
5. A mirror breaking means trouble and illness.
A broken mirror can be a sign that our soul, our intuition sends to us, wanting to warn.
Our mirror broke 2 months ago, to pieces. A week after that, I was admitted to the hospital with an ectopic pregnancy. A year ago, my husband broke a mirror, and the next day he was taken away in an ambulance with appendicitis. Maybe it's a coincidence, of course.
And once I myself accidentally broke a mirror hanging on the wall in the corridor. I was just walking and my shoulder hit me. It was as if something had pushed me towards this unfortunate mirror. A month later I was fired from my job. It took me a long time to get settled.
Since symbols have a strong impact on our mental state, it is important to be attentive to the emotions that arise. As a psychologist, I know well about the power of suggestion and unconscious attitudes. If you feel anxious and uncomfortable without a mirror, buy a new one. Sometimes little things like this seem to turn us into a dark place.
About a week before the fire, an acquaintance of mine, taking off his shoes, leaned against the mirror in the hallway. It cracked and fell off on his head and shoulders. Without this mirror, it became somehow uncomfortable and unusual to see an empty wall. Unpleasant feeling. Then there was a strong fire, the whole apartment burned out. Jumping from a window, I broke my spine and leg. The second year has passed, and I’m still in hospitals. My husband also died six months after the fire. That means a change in my destiny, that’s for sure.
6. Most often, a mirror breaks for psychological reasons without any consequences.
Mysticism is special, rare cases, which is why we love the theme of the mysterious. Everyday experience shows that in 99% of cases a broken mirror is an unfortunate accident that does not entail the slightest consequences other than your worries due to the sign. They beat them in millions of pieces, since they are fragile things. Nowadays, mirrors are of low quality, made in China. They just don't attach well to the base. What are these possible internal causes? Anxious state. For example, you have an exam or a trip coming up. Anxiety causes subtle muscle tremors and impairs concentration. Therefore, things break and break more often. Aggression. If you are angry, the release of adrenaline into the blood also leads to changes in the muscles, which reflexively tense. Euphoria, joy. That's why brides hit mirrors so often on the eve of their wedding! Absent-mindedness. Fatigue, lack of sleep. Sexual arousal. Irritation.
I also hit mirrors from time to time and don’t worry. Probably, it was influenced by a phrase said to me ten years ago by one very good woman. I just broke my favorite mirror while at work and cried because of it. She told me then that “mirrors do not fight for death or misfortune, but for a change of fate, fool.” This is what I believed, because after that mirror my life changed very dramatically and unexpectedly. And I still believe it.
A broken mirror is considered a bad omen. Unfortunately, this is true. In special cases, when the mirror breaks itself (sometimes in such a strange way that even a tightly screwed dowel flies out of the wall) - this is a sign of the death of someone in the family. The fact is that when a person comes into this world or leaves it, these most important transitions and transformations are often accompanied by signs and mystical incidents. In most cases, they are associated with objects that have a special semantic depth; their symbolism is associated with life and death (watch, mirror, cross, icon, flower, bird, etc.). You can read more on this topic. But this special cases, remember this so as not to live in vain anxiety.
A mirror is not just an element of the interior; there is a lot associated with this item. will accept, superstitions and rituals. Our forefathers believed in magical power mirrors, with its help they bewitched and summoned dead spirits. Until now, many of us also firmly believe in signs associated with the mirror.
By far the most terrifying sign is broken mirror. Having accidentally dropped this fragile object on the floor, we look at the fragments in horror and ask: “What to do if the mirror breaks?” Since a broken mirror promises problems and even misfortune.
If a mirror breaks, what should you do?
- No need to pick up the pieces. Firstly, it is simply unsafe - you can cut yourself. Secondly, in this way you can attract misfortune to yourself. It is better to collect all the fragments with a broom and dustpan. Then you will definitely need to vacuum the room where the mirror was broken - this way you will collect small fragments and mirror dust.
- Do not simply throw the fragments into the garbage disposal or bin without first wrapping them in thick paper or cloth. They say that in order to ward off misfortunes, the fragments must be thoroughly wrapped in foil or dark matter(fabric) - in this case, all negative energy aimed at you and your home will be extinguished.
- Keep in mind that a broken mirror can attract unfavorable energy and thereby induce aggression in the male half of the family. In order not to rack your brains later about what to do if your spouse hits and why he became very aggressive in the first place, the fragments should not be dropped and broken into even smaller pieces. This action can increase tenfold negative impact broken mirror.
- If you break a mirror, immediately cross yourself and say three times: “ Get all misfortunes out of my doorstep! My home is a happy home. I and my whole family are healthy and happy. Amen". Then spit onto the shards three times.
- The mirror broke - therefore, the fragments must be removed by the one through whose fault this happened. If the culprit is small child, which means that the fragments are removed by your own mother or godmother.
- You can pour the fragments you collected into plastic container and rinse them with running water - bad energy will flow into the pipeline.
- Under no circumstances should you look into a broken or cracked mirror.! This way you can completely cross out the line of your own destiny - and life will become unhappy, and the person himself will become unlucky. In addition, such an action can deprive you of energy and vitality.
- It is forbidden to save a broken mirror, even if it is a family heirloom or is infinitely valuable to you as a source of pleasant memories.
- Absolutely necessary buy a replacement for a broken mirror, even if it was just a tiny pocket mirror and you don’t feel the need to purchase a new one.
- Did the mirror break? Whatever it is, have a laugh! Or at least smile. Even in this way you can distract trouble from yourself.
A broken mirror is absolutely no reason to be upset. You just need to properly clean up the fragments and try to protect yourself and your loved ones from possible harm, using the above recommendations. Knowing what to do if a mirror breaks, you will insure yourself and your loved ones from misadventures associated with this sign.
Why does a broken mirror affect a person? A mirror is a special item. This is a symbol of the border between worlds. It is used in magical rites, in fortune telling. No matter how skeptical you may be, when the mirror slips out of your hands and breaks, you will be overcome with excitement. After all, immediately remember about 7 years of misfortunes, and about bad sign. Living in anticipation of trouble is very difficult. That’s why people sometimes just go crazy with fear:
I’m sleeping this morning, and there’s a wild roar coming from the toilet. I run to the bathroom. There the sister sits on the toilet and says: “The mirror broke!” I have it on double sided tape was glued. And I knew that it could come unstuck! And a week before, when I washed it, it almost fell off. My sister is hysterical. She says that since it fell in front of her, she will have misfortune.
Crap! My son broke a mirror. I thought I’d go to the forum, read and calm down. Fuck it! How many scarecrows! My knees are shaking now. If it concerned me, I wouldn’t even think about it, but my son is not even three years old. Now what to expect. Very creepy and unpleasant.
Anyone whose omen immediately comes true. The more anxious and restless you are, the more likely disasters are likely to happen. Fear can be the strongest, because according to ancient beliefs, broken mirrors can penetrate evil forces. But the sign originated hundreds of years ago, when mirrors were a luxury. What should we do? Everyone has a heap of cheap Chinese mirrors: in the bathroom, hallway, wardrobe, on the table, in a cosmetic bag, on combs. They fight. Especially if there are cats, children, elderly people in the house, from whose clumsiness things suffer. Maybe the whole planet should give up mirrors, since it is such a terrible thing? Because of panic, people endanger children with their rash actions:
Go to hell with your superstitions!!! I read the forum and immediately ran to the trash heap. Rather, throw away the broken mirror. I left my daughter at home, she’s only 1.8. She locked the house from the outside. She's back. I can't get home! The daughter was playing and pushed the iron latch and locked herself from the inside. I'm panicking! I started calling the Ministry of Emergency Situations. You see: the omen came true! Well, my bunny figured out how to open the door herself.
What to do if a mirror is broken? You broke a mirror - anxiety arose, anticipation of trouble. But it’s difficult to be in such a state, because it is not yet known whether there will be troubles. Of course, sooner or later everyone may have problems: you will quarrel with someone, you will lose something. But the wait is unbearable! And the psyche helps to find a solution: let’s quickly do something bad for ourselves and live in peace. And the omen comes true! Therefore, people have come up with simple and effective ways to stop the implementation of negativity.
1. Conspiracies
This is a verbal formula that blocks the realization of negative expectations. A method proven over centuries. After all, a thousand years ago our psyche worked the same way, and people found a way not to create problems for themselves out of the blue. Conspiracies are good for especially anxious, suspicious people. Verbal speech dissipates the energy of tension, eliminates the image of negative developments of events, thus healing a person.
The mirror breaks, the misfortune of God’s servant (name) does not concern her.
Even as a child, my grandmother told me: “It’s okay that I broke the mirror. It has seen a lot of things. Collect the fragments, but don’t look at them. If you throw it away, keep quiet. Then wash your face with water, saying: “what broke, broke, and it didn’t affect me.”
When a mirror is broken, you need to collect everything, go outside and throw it into a container with the following words: “I didn’t break the mirror, but my misfortune. I'm not throwing away mirrors, but my misfortunes!
2. Rituals
Tradition prescribes special ritual actions when removing fragments (ritual - symbolic actions, demonstrative, having a certain order). For example, sprinkle holy water on the fragments, quickly remove them by putting them in a dark rag, hold them under running water before throwing them away, and paint them over with dark paint.
3.Prayer
Contact in prayer To higher powers. Try to return yourself to a state of peace, trust in the wisdom and love of God for you. There are texts that have been helping people find peace of mind in times of anxiety for thousands of years. One of the most famous can be found below.
text of Psalm 90 in Russian
1 He who dwells under the shelter of the Most High rests in the shadow of the Almighty,
2 He says to the Lord: “My refuge and my defense, my God in whom I trust!”
3 He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, from the destructive plague,
4 He will overshadow you with His feathers, and under His wings you will be safe; shield and fence - His truth.
5 You will not fear the terrors of the night, nor the arrows that fly by day,
6 The plague that walks in darkness, the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but will not come close to you:
8 Only you will look with your eyes and see the retribution of the wicked.
9 For you have said: “The Lord is my hope”; You have chosen the Most High as your refuge;
10 No evil will befall you, and no plague will come near your dwelling;
11 For he will command his angels concerning you, to guard you in all your ways:
12 They will carry you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone;
13 You will tread on the asp and basilisk; You will trample on the lion and the dragon.
14 “Because he loved Me, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he has known My name.
15 He will call to Me, and I will hear him; I am with him in sorrow; I will deliver him and glorify him,
16 I will satisfy him with long days, and show him My salvation.”
4. Exit from disturbing resonance
Join those who do not believe in this sign, do not worry and do not pay attention to such nonsense.
She broke more than one mirror. And NOTHING followed this.
I'll open it terrible secret! Over the past six months I have broken three large mirrors, full height which are practically. Do you know what's the worst thing here? Sweep all the fragments out of the apartment!!!
On the eve of giving birth, a friend broke a huge mirror; it was standing on the floor; the apartment was being renovated. I didn’t notice it in the dark and stumbled upon it. She gave birth quite safely to a wonderful son. Nothing bad happened. Just don't set yourself up for the bad.
For as long as I can remember, my mirrors break CONSTANTLY. Both big and small. I don’t even always throw them away, but I look in the broken mirror, what’s the difference. And nothing ever followed.
I have them all broken. And I got married, and happiness in my personal life, and work, and everything in the world. And I didn’t give a damn about mirrors, black cats and other rubbish.
I also hit mirrors from time to time. I have never noticed any special consequences. If you break it, you immediately collect it and throw it away. And seven years of misfortune - no thanks. We are fine without them.
5.The most effective way: believe and attract luck and positivity!
Create your own sign by putting the power of intention and positive emotion into this idea. CRASHED FOR HAPPINESS, FOR LUCK, FOR WEALTH!!! A broken mirror, by the way, is a sign of positive changes for many: meeting a betrothed, the onset of a long-awaited pregnancy, moving to new apartment. I, the author of a site about mysticism, am one of many who have interrupted a bunch of mirrors without any consequences. I just think to myself: “Let there be happiness!”
We lived in the village then. We have guests, many guests. An oval mirror hung on the stele. And then there is an explosion of laughter, the mirror falls from the wall and into dust. Our life went uphill from that moment on! Since then I believe that broken mirrors bring good luck.
In 2004, my husband accidentally broke a huge mirror while packing for his divorce. I thought: “Good omen. This means life will change dramatically for the good!” And so it happened. During this time, I met my current one and gave birth to my second baby. Everything is fine.
I heard that if a mirror breaks, you need to count how many fragments (large pieces) there are. No matter how many years you count, you will get married in as many years. At first I laughed, and then I remembered that at the age of 16 I broke a huge mirror that hung in my room above the chest of drawers. The mirror, as I remember now, shattered into three large pieces, one of which remained hanging on the wall. Nothing bad happened that year, quite the opposite. And most importantly: exactly three years later I got married.
PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPERIMENT
Our psyche is structured in such a way that we believe in bad things more than in good things. We invest much more energy (we think more often, we worry more strongly) in anticipation of possible troubles. Want to check? Here are two predictions. Pay attention to which one you react more emotionally to. What would you believe faster: good or bad?
You will be deceived for 1000 rubles.
I will give you a surprise gift worth 1000 rubles.
Risk group for the implementation of the sign
Hello! I broke a mirror while drunk. Now life is falling apart, just some bad luck for the last three years. I'm very scared.
If you tend to feel guilty about certain actions, if you low self-esteem, then deep in your soul you will readily accept the broken mirror as a sign of punishment - fair - for your shortcomings and sins. Signs undoubtedly make sense and come true; there are many examples of this. A simple person thinks like this: a sign (a symbolic event) determines an event in the future. But this connection is more complex: sign - person - event. And not the sign itself, which most often is not a sign at all, but just a trifle of everyday life, but YOUR reaction can become decisive for the future! Therefore, if a broken mirror caused anxiety, take action. Otherwise, in addition to the costs of buying a new mirror, you will create unnecessary problems for yourself. Internally expecting troubles and misfortunes, you will bring them to life, for example, quarreling with loved ones, losing good things, or getting injured out of nowhere.
