Mirror box spell?

Post by RainChild »

I was going to do one and when I looked it up so I knew what I was doing. I found an article saying don't do it. Is it OK to do? How do you do it? I want to send the negativity back to the sender.

Surely the article that said don't do it would have explained their reasoning??

A mirror box is an enclosure made of mirrors. I recall one of S. Cunningham's books mentioned a mirror box but don't recall which book. It was used to increase the abundance spell's effect by duplicating the images of what was desired. I could see duplication as potentially harmful in reflecting negativity.

There's ways to to use mirrors as deflectors just as is done in the witches jar protection spell in which bits of mirrors are intended to deflect & scatter harmful intent away from the home. Using a mirror as a shield to deflect incoming I'll-wishing is a pretty obvious use. A simple chant with a charged candle illuminating a mirror is one way.

In a short on line search I'd found return negativity to sender mirror spells that used phrasing in the intention statements which kept naming the things they wanted to prevent rather than using a positive statement to claim what they desired. I couldn't recommend them but anyone who looks can find 'em if I did. In the sense of sending that crap back where it came from, an intention of "delivery refused" is sufficient.

Mirror spells realise "self in others" therefore you are in the spell! The way magic works is to take full responsible for clearing any harm account. So, it could backfire badly.

Example: Putting a bubble mirror around someone, I have found myself understanding the same truths... Not judging them, it all works out fine, but mirrors are not for dangerous or negative applications - nor is any serious form of magic, imho.

BTW: The most dangerous spell of all? Prayer - it literally answers itself, so likely if you pray intending harm/pain/anything your answer is likewise. And so be that.

So trying to send her what she did to me would backfire and make it worse?

I would suggest that the magic you do is alone, so if you give anything to "yourotherself" maybe do it kind. :)
