Why Use A Mirror?, What does it mean to you? Options

Someone asked me if i knew why you would use a mirror for divinition or even sending thought forms or energy to other people. Does this have any metaphorical relevance at all?

Thanks.

Personally I like using walls to do stuff with have no idea if it wouldnt work as well though.

I prefer two large mirrors across from each other. Many ways to travel and good for scrying.
HMMM you prefer a wall for divination? Guess i missed that?

Macrocosm and microcosm is an ancient Greek schema of seeing the same patterns reproduced in all levels of the cosmos. It may have begun with Democritus in the 5th century B.C. or with Pythagoras and is a philosophical conception that runs through Socrates, and Plato and through to the Renaissance. With Pythagoras, the discovery of the golden ratio and its philosophical conception called the Golden mean, the Greeks saw that this golden ratio is repeated in all parts of the ordered universe both large and small. The Greeks were very concerned with a rational explanation of everything and saw this repetition of the golden mean as a pattern that was reproduced throughout reality. It is a product of the ancient Greek mentality of seeing reality as a whole and noticing patterns that are repeated throughout all the levels of reality. In short, it is the recognition that the same traits appear in entities of many different sizes, from one man to the entire human population.

Macrocosm/microcosm is a Greek compound of μακρο- "Macro-" and μικρο- "Micro-", which are Greek respectively for "large" and "small", and the word κόσμος kósmos which means "order" as well as "world" or "ordered world".

There is no metaphorical relevance. metaphysical yes. The idea is literal. And does work very well in case you wondered. I prefer a crystal or a still water myself.
