Magic Mirror Portals
Sounds like fantasy but is it? What constitutes a "portal"?

As a secular eclectic witch, I find that using a beautiful brand-new mirror can be an exceptional way to create a DIY portal for manifestation and clarity. Reflective surfaces have long been associated with magic and the exploration of one's inner self, making them ideal tools in your spiritual practice.
To start, you will want to create an altar dedicated to yourself. This altar serves as a sacred space that showcases your favorite items, personal symbols, and tools that hold significance for you. Consider incorporating elements such as crystals, candles, or images that inspire you. Additionally, blessed belongings—objects that have been charged with positive energy—can enhance the power of your altar.


Once you feel centered and ready, sit comfortably before your mirror. This is your moment of connection; your reflection represents your true self, with all the potential and power that lies within. Begin to chant—this could be a mantra, affirmation, or any incantation that resonates with your intentions. As you chant, visualize your desires flowing through you like a wave of relief, washing over any doubts or fears. IT IS SO IMPERATIVE TO KEEP YOUR ATTENTION AND THOUGHTS ENTHRALLED AND FOCUSED AS PORTALS CAN EASILY - AND QUICKLY - "GO LEFT"!
It's important to understand that portals, gateways to other realms and dimensions, are an extraordinary manifestation of power that transcend the mundane boundaries of existence. The ability to create or open a doorway to another place is not something to be taken lightly; it is often reserved for those of great skill and understanding. While witches can harness spells to achieve similar effects, there are upper-level beings that wield portals with an authoritative grace that showcases their mastery over witches and the very fabric of reality. Each portal is unique, with its function and appearance intricately tied to the user's intent and abilities. Some serve as bridges across time itself, allowing for travel into the past or future, while others unleash vortexes that can forcibly send individuals spiraling away, enveloped by sudden gusts of wind.
However, the nature of portals is as fleeting as it is potent. Typically, they do not remain open for long, their duration dependent on the purpose behind their creation and the source of the wielder's power. In a lot of cases, a portal will shut down once someone has passed through, sealing off the entryway just as suddenly as it appeared. Yet, there are instances where they linger longer, suspended in the ether, awaiting more travelers.
Anyway, when done right, a great sense of calm will flow through you. The entire séance is best completed in about two hours, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the experience without rushing. (glamour prep not included in this estimate) Remember, intention is of the utmost importance. To facilitate a successful ritual, make sure you are able to concentrate without distractions or interruptions during this sacred time.
WHAT TO AVOID WHEN USING MIRRORS:
1. After cleansing, bless your new mirror with a protective spell, drawing bindrunes, sigils and a pentacle unto the backside of your portal.
2. BLOCK NEGATIVE ENERGIES with silver and/or salt. (Wipe with salt water, hang silver on it and help your designated mirror covered when not in use.
3. NO Used, secondhand, tarnished, or damaged mirrors are permitted.
4. Always keep it clean and smudge free, especially before your ritual.
5. Control your thoughts. The instant your mind wanders over to bad intentions and/or inflicting harm, stop immediately, cover the mirror and walk away.








Before engaging in the ritual, it is advisable to perform a glamor ritual. This is a transformative practice aimed at enhancing one's appearance and energy. Taking the time to prepare yourself both physically and mentally sets the stage for the deeper work to come. "Mise en place," a term from the culinary world meaning "everything in its place," perfectly encapsulates this phase. Ensure your environment is tidy, and all necessary items are within reach.
In closing, a DIY portal using a mirror can be a powerful tool for self-manifestation and reflection. By dedicating an altar, preparing through glamor rituals, and focusing on your intentions, you empower yourself to harness the energies needed for personal transformation and fulfillment.
