My partner said I should specify and I agree. Have you ever performed a mirror spell? What was the result? Was it effective or did you end up punishing yourself? Does this mean you should just leave yourself wide open to attack? Of course not! I’ll be discussing what you can do in future posts. So to avoid harming yourself, harming someone who never consciously would harm you, or incurring negative karma that will bounce back on you, I suggest avoiding mirror spells. Frankly, this is no different than a psychic attack with an added “But he hit me first!” cry heard so often from a child. If you perform a mirror spell you are consciously deciding to send negative energy to someone. It took her some time to see the futility of what she was doing, but she eventually figured it out. She claimed she knew her psychic attack had worked when something bad happened to her. She admitted that she used to attack other people. When I lived in San Diego I knew a Pagan woman who told me she used to be a Satanist. If a person does something to harm you, it will eventually come back to them. Therefore, whatever you do comes back to you in some way. Even if you don’t go that far, one of the basic concepts of magick is that if you do X, Y will happen. Is it fair to harm someone who meant no harm? I don’t think so.ģ) Many Pagans believe in the “law of three,” that what you send out will return to you three-fold. They only thought they were acting out their rage. Were a mirror spell turned on a person who unconsciously did this it would be punishing a person who had no conscious intention of causing harm. In fact, that might be the last thing they would ever do. This could unconsciously send the energy linked to the anger toward a person the “attacker” never would have consciously harmed. This pacing, a method of raising energy known as “circumambulation,” unconsciously forms what the Golden Dawn called a “ Vortex of Energy” or what many Pagans refer to as a “Cone of Power” (see The Grimoire of Lady Sheba, for example). This may change to lack of belief: “How could s/he?!” And that emotion might change to anger and rage: “How dare s/he?!” The person ends up stomping around their room thinking angry, rage-filled thoughts. First that person feels sadness from the loss. For example, a person’s partner breaks up with them. It certainly wouldn’t be in your best interest!Ģ) Sometimes we are effected by a stream of energy directed unintentionally against us. If you think the repeated ailments are caused by an outside force and perform a mirror spell to return the negative energy to it’s source, you’re actually going to be attacking yourself. For example, a bad diet, lack of sleep, the use of alcohol and recreational drugs can lower the efficiency of your immune system, resulting in one illness after another. Mirror spells, in my opinion, are not advisable for at least three reasons.ġ) Sometimes we create our own problems. It’s instant karma, right? They’re only getting what they sent, right? They’re only getting what they deserve, right? Wrong! It’s called a mirror spell because it reflects any negativity back onto the person or persons who sent it. That brings me to the discussion of “mirror spells.” The idea of a mirror spell seems to make sense. A series of colds or what we consider to be a trail of misfortune may be from our own doing or just coincidence. Sometimes, we misinterpret events and think something common is a psychic attack. If somebody is really going to waste the time, energy, and effort to try and give you a headache or have you lose a job rather than improve their own situation, then they’re idiots and probably can’t do anything anyway. After all, if someone has the ability to use magick to cause you major problems, they also have the ability make major improvements in their lives. I deal with this in Modern Magick, and point out that I agree with concept that Denning and Phillips present in their book Practical Guide to Psychic Self-Defense, that real psychic attacks are rare. One of the most common discussions I’ve had (or seen) about magick concerns psychic attack.
