A mirror broke the other day and (although Im not superstitious!!!) does anyone know an antidote?
Some other mirror superstitions are, – Never see your face in a mirror by candlelight, it is unlucky to do so, (especially if you are not very good-looking and have a weak heart). – If you stare into a mirror by candlelight you might see the spirit of a loved one who has passed away. – Always cover a mirror during a thunderstorm as it is unlucky to see reflected lightning. – Breaking uncolored glass in any form other than that of a mirror or a bottle is considered to be good omen. – It is considered a bad omen to receive a mirror as a present.
