Wel­come lis­ten­ers to your episode all about mir­rors. I start­ed off last episode by shar­ing the Three Kings rit­u­al, which sees the par­tic­i­pant sit­ting in front of mir­rors and endur­ing an unknown fate, with the mir­rors show­ing them a vari­ety of dif­fer­ent nar­ra­tives, expe­ri­ences, good and bad, and in one case a fight with­in them­selves, bat­tling their thoughts to pick their path that will affect their future.

I moved into the Caputo strange-face appari­tion exper­i­ment and dis­cussed how 100% of the par­tic­i­pants wit­nessed their face chang­ing when star­ing into mir­rors under low light con­di­tions. These visu­al hal­lu­ci­na­tions took place as quick as 1 minute into what is called mir­ror gaz­ing. So what now? Well, today I’m going to dis­cuss what makes mir­rors so mys­te­ri­ous, strange, and unique, then, I’m going to move onto more rit­u­al sto­ries, all of which relate to mir­rors.
