Doing all of that physical stuff. What is it for? What I learned in magick was that the physical aspects (movements, forms, items, elements, etc) were just focuses for thoughts, means of getting you in the proper frame of mind, etc. In short, as one of my teachers said “It’s all in your head. But your head is bigger than you know.”
So doing all those various things is only to create the thoughts and patterns on your end that you have ‘defeated’ or removed this curse, or to set yourself on the path of doing so in your head.
Once you truly know that secret, you can work out how to do almost anything without the forms.
I have a “vision” that you may have your your mirror technique on quite a bit of your client’s “cursed” cash. Jesus told me to tell you that’s not a nice thing to do.
I sincerely hope you are being sarcastic. Within most magical tradiations mixing the shards into muffins for the homeless would be absolute worst thing to do because it would be transferring the evil to one more helpless than oneself, a characteristic of black magic. To do that would be just begging for demonic possession.
I was pointing out that you were ignorantly suggesting throwing broken glass into the ocean or down the toilet, which displays a complete lack of regard for the environment or other people.
Seeing as how you are still failing to grasp that my suggestions are equally irresponsible, (Really? Serving ground glass in food is bad because Pazuzu?), I’ll move along.
Just riffing off of this, from a chemist’s point of view, the coating on the back of the glass, which is what makes it a ‘mirror’, is likely either silver (expensive, and thus rather unlikely) or aluminum, (cheap, and so highly likely), but both are easily oxidized. Presumably, if you dissolve the coating, you dissolve the curse. You want to oxidize that shit (those unknown metals), so you need an oxidizer. Scrape a bit off, put it into a (borosilicate glass, Pyrex will do) test tube that you have already charged with Hydrochloric acid (AKA ‘muriatic acid’, available at your local hardware store), and Sulfuric acid (AKA ‘battery acid’, available at your local auto parts store), and see if it dissolves. It almost certainly will.
If it does, put the rest of the bottles (or cans or whatever) of those two acids into a glass gallon pickle jar, break up the mirror to fit, and watch the curse dissolve away…
What did you do to piss off the curser/target so badly that they would give you a cursed mirror?
I’m just spitballing here, but why don’t you try talking to the person that cursed the mirror and find out if there’s something you can do to fix the relationship and maybe they’ll lift the curse?
Otherwise you’re just sitting around worrying about:
If you have a cursed mirror
If you figured out how to lift the curse.
If you didn’t lift the curse and every bad thing in your life is the result of the cursed mirror.
If there’s someway you could get Opal to lift the curse from Beyond the Grave?
IANAW (I am not a witch) and any opinions expressed are strictly my own, admittedly stoopid ones.
It’s too late. The negative intentions have been realized.
If the possessor of the mirror follows through on ZPGzealot’s method (flush down the toilet scenario) it will probably fulfill the negative intentions even more by jacking up the household plumbing and possibly result in a fine since should the smashed glass proceed through the pipes it could also have a negative impact on the municipal plumbing as well.
The point of smashing it is turning it into tiny, tiny pieces so that it doesn’t screw up the plumbing. I’ve done this before (not because of curses, but because I wanted to get rid of gift items with a very bold statement gesture). On all such occasions no plumbing problems resulted
