A mirror is a doorway that only looks like glass, and at dusk — when the world hangs between the seen and the unseen — that door swings widest. What you show the mirror, the mirror shows the world, doubling all it is given back toward you.
This working reaches toward prosperity multiplied — the glass taking a single image of plenty and returning it magnified from the other side. It is advanced work, for the mirror reflects the worker as surely as the wish; you must come to it certain, and unafraid of your own wanting.
The Working
- At dusk, set a mirror upright on a table and draw a ring of salt around its base.
- Light a candle and place it before the glass, so a single flame becomes two.
- Kindle a coil of incense and let the smoke drift across the surface until the reflection blurs.
- Hold a coin or a note in the candlelight, where both you and the mirror can see it clearly.
- Speak the incantation to your own reflected eyes, not to the room around you.
- Tilt the coin so its gleam dances in the glass, and watch the doubled light multiply.
- Snuff the candle, break the salt ring toward yourself, and keep the coin as a seed.
The Incantation
Glass that doubles, glass that gives,
show me how abundance lives.
Take this little, gleaming, thin,
and pour a greater fortune in.
Eye to eye and light to light,
turn one coin to wealth this night.
Breaking the ring toward you releases the doubled fortune from the glass; cover the mirror, and let dusk close the door behind it.
