why do people cover mirrors when someone dies
Hi Blue, I have a question that's been bothering me for a while.
Hey there! Always happy to answer questions, go ahead.
Why do people cover mirrors when someone dies? It seems like such a strange practice to me.
Well, it's quite an ancient practice that comes from different beliefs. In many cultures, it's believed that mirrors are portals to the spiritual world. Covering them is considered a way to prevent the spirit of the deceased from becoming trapped or causing confusion to other spirits.
Ohh, so it's like helping the deceased to move on without being trapped. Makes sense in a way.
Exactly! It's quite a fascinating belief, isn't it? There's so much interesting history and culture related to beliefs about death. Can I help with any other questions?
