Why can not take pictures in the mirror? To see myself from the outside - a natural human desire. But seeing it is difficult to resist the temptation to capture this beauty, good, camera or other gadgets with cameras in every home there. But old superstitions and omens associated with mirrors, many seem to be relevant today.

The history of mirrors

The desire to see myself from the outside had people at all times. Even before our era attempts to create mirrors of carefully polished metal plates. Of course, imperfect technologies are not allowed to create a real mirror, but still helps to create an idea of ​​their appearance.

In the XIII century in Europe was rapidly develop skills glassblowers. In 1279 came the first mirror glass, coated on one side with a thin layer of lead. Gradually SLR Goldsmiths improve their skills, and reflection have become increasingly clear and accurate. Of course, the mirrors were available only to very rich people, poor people had to rely on the study of his reflections, for example, in the water. Famous Venetian mirrors at a cost sometimes superior mansions. Just in time when access to new technologies received the French, the price began to decline mirrors.

Today, mirrors are available to all. They are used not only for the design space, but also in the automotive industry, as well as for the production of a plurality of devices, including reflex cameras. Interestingly, antique mirrors, however, still valued higher than those made today.

The world through the mirror

Mirrors are always interested in people: they were dedicated artistic works, and the most reckless daredevils trying to hook or by crook to get through the looking glass. But at the same time mirrors feared: it was believed that they can be used to restore damage.

In the mirror there is something mystical. It's not just a piece of glass with a perfectly smooth layer of amalgam and dark paint from the inside out. In the Middle Ages, many thought that the other side of the mirror hides the devil. Sorcerers also mirrors were at a premium, and even ordinary people have tried using mirrors to look into the future. And today mirrors associated with multiple takes, and superstitions. It is difficult to say whether they are justified. It is believed that the mirror somehow maintains human energy.

Esoteric and mystics claim that the mirror reflects not only the human body but also his soul. Moreover, some particularly malicious mirror are not limited to, try a body and soul in man to steal. In many cultures there are stories about women who loved to look at her reflection: the majority of the heroines of fairy tales, this habit was not good. Reflections gradually abducted girls beauty, drop by drop drinking the soul, and sometimes take life.

Few believe today in these tales. Almost all women, young and old like to whirl in the mirror to admire themselves or possibly criticize your appearance. The latter, however, should be avoided if you still assume for a moment that the mirror can really save energy of a man who looks at him.

Dangerous "SELF"

Treat yourself in the mirror, admiring - completely innocent in terms of modern human pleasure. And in recent years gained popularity so-called "self" - a photo of themselves in the mirror. Before someone else's camera lens, many feel awkward. But alone with yourself, relax, try new poses, experimenting with facial expression. A camera, mobile phone or tablet to help capture the results of these experiments will help to show off to friends, new clothes, share your mood with friends.

It would seem that what is wrong with such entertainment? But esoteric do not recommend taking pictures of themselves in the mirror for several reasons:

• If you take a picture in the mirror, the photograph will be displayed not only the body but also of the soul. And if such a picture will fall into the hands of the evil mage, trouble is inevitable. Generally, any photo - a real gift for witches, who are going to bring to the human damage or, conversely, to bewitch him. But it is a mirror image in black magicians give as much information about who is depicted in the portrait;
• Many believe that the photo of a person in a mirror image can adversely affect the destiny. And though to explain the mechanism of such an effect is difficult, it is better to avoid such images. However, the photo editors allow you to easily adjust an image using the function "reflect the pattern";
• According to another theory, the ban caused by the ability to accumulate information and mirrors absorb human energy. Well, if the power has been only positive, but a lot of mirrors, especially the old, in my lifetime, "saw" a lot of troubles and misfortunes. And all of this information may at some point go to the person who looks in the mirror. It is believed that the camera shutter click (or a reflection of the camera in the mirror) can provoke such withdrawal information;
• It is believed that by photographing herself in the mirror, a man enters with otherworldly forces in a complex relationship. As a result, fans of the "SELF" begin to depend on certain mirrors in their life anyway impact that these mirrors reflect. Well, if it mirrors their own home, where no one looks outside. But the dependence of the energy of man from the mirror, for example, in an elevator or a public toilet (strangely enough, it is the favorite place of lovers of "bows") can lead to unpredictable consequences. It is difficult to imagine what would happen if the mirror will crack or break.
