Mirror Lore & Superstitions

A GOOD NIGHT SNACK
PATREON EXCLUSIVE SERIES

A Good Night Snack is a series available exclusively for our Housekeeper and Butler tier members on Patreon.

One of the topics that generates the most discussion any time I talk about it on social media, is Victorian funeral customs. In particular, a lot of people relate to the covering of mirrors in the house when someone dies. Many comment that this is still a thing in many communities and cultures today. The reasons Victorians did this was so the soul of the deceased didn’t get confused and trapped in the mirror. But this barely scratches the surface of beliefs about mirrors. That’s why I’ve decided to dedicate tonight’s Good Night Snack episode to mirror lore and superstitions.
