here calitom, do You know the reason for covering mirrors in a time of mourning?


no i dont---and i wont google it...so enlighten me


The practice of covering the mirrors began centuries ago and was based on a belief that spirits were attracted to mirrors. Some people thought that the soul could be trapped in the reflection or that the dead person’s spirit lingered on earth for a time and might reach out from “the other side.” The rabbis reinterpreted the folk cus­tom, declaring that mirrors should be covered to discour­age vanity and encourage inner reflection. Regardless of its symbolism, covering mirrors is a striking visual cue, a token of the disruption and grief felt by everyone who enters the house.

same should probably be done for every reflective surface?


interesting thanks arthur


have You heard of the peat bog mummies?

Probably. I've never seen it used as rooves.
