Catoptromancy
Catoptromancy interprets mirror images or reflections in a divinatory consultation.
How to approach it
A reading begins by recognising a sign and relating it to a question. Describe the observation first, then explore its associations: the image opens a reflection rather than imposing a conclusion.
An important distinction
It is a form of scrying. An ambiguous reflection neither diagnoses illness nor confirms a presence.
An example to explore
In a photograph of reflections, note two possible shapes before exploring the memories each evokes.
Taking the idea further
To explore further, compare the related concepts and note differences in material, procedure and interpretation. If you open a related tool, read its own rules; sharing a symbol does not mean carrying out the same practice.
