Summary
Today, we venture inside mysterious gateways. We step through the glass, and gaze beyond our own reflection. Around the world for thousands of years, these objects have been feared, covered, shattered, and whispered to. Some say they’re capable of trapping souls. Others claim they reveal hidden truths, and bring good luck, or bad. It depends on who you ask. From ancient superstitions to ghostly reflections – today we are discussing one of the most ordinary, yet powerful objects in our homes. Today’s episode is all about mirrors! ------ WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT: Join the Patreon for perks and ad free episodes! Hit that follow button, drop a 5 star review, and spread the word!!!
