Mirror Facts

Breaking a mirror is said to bring seven years of bad luck. According to superstition, you can reverse this curse by burying the broken shards under moonlight. This belief originated in ancient Rome, where mirrors were thought to reflect a person's soul, and the Romans believed life renewed itself every seven years.
