1. Practice of Clairvoyance with Magic Mirrors

There are two kinds of magic mirrors:
1. The optic mirrors made from flat or concave glass and covered on one side with silver amalgam or black lacquer. As for the concave mirror, the outside is lacquered and the concave inside part will be shiny. Crystal balls also belong to the magic mirrors, and so do the flat or concave metal mirrors, the surface of which has been provided with a colored or black liquid. The surface of a pool also can serve as an optic mirror.


To the second kind of magic mirror belong those that have been fitted out with the fluid condensers I have described previously.
First of all, the magician has got to know that it is not the mere mirror granting the success,
but the astral and mental faculties developed by the preceding exercises. Consequently the magician will regard any magic mirrors as an appliance, an expedient, or a sort of tool. This does not mean that he would not be able to work without a mirror, but because of the manifold opportunities that a magic mirror may offer, the magician likes to make use of this help.
He who has worked step by step through this practical course, however, will never just sit in front of a magic mirror and tire his visual nerves. He will operate in quite a different way that is magically correct. Before I describe some of these practices in detail, I will quote some examples where a magic mirror may be very helpful:
1. When working with the imagination, where optic nerves are required.
2. When loading up with powers, fluids of every kind.
3. As a transit gate to all desired planes.
4. As a help to induce a communication with living and deceased persons.
5. As a help to get contact with powers, beings, etc.
6. As equipment for radiotherapy and room impregnation.
7. To influence the own or other people’s personality.
8. As a magic transmitter and receiver.
9. As a help to prevent dangerous and undesirable influences.
10. As an implement for the projection of all the desired powers, pictures, paintings, etc.
11. As a television set.
12. As a help to investigate the present, past and future.
All the possibilities cannot be quoted, considering that the magic mirror represents a sort of universal help. Based on these 12 examples, the intuitive magician now is able to invent other new practices.
Sit in the asana before your magic mirror at a distance of 1-2 yards. The lighting does not play any important part at all. Now start on imagination exercises by imagining objects on the surface of the mirror, one after another, which you are supposed to see with your eyes open as distinctly as if they were really there. Considering the fact that you have become a master of imagination in the meantime, this preliminary exercise will not be difficult for you. Hold on to the imagination of the object for some minutes, and dissolve it afterwards with the help of the imagination. Supposing that you still have difficulties with the imagination of objects,
first try imagination exercises with colors before proceeding to objects. As I mentioned before, the optic imagination faculty is analogous to the fire element, and magicians who master this element perfectly will have the best success with the magic mirror too. After the imagination of objects, you may turn to exercises with different animals, thereafter with human beings; first try to imagine features of friends, later of strange people and races. Now extend your imagination work over the whole body. As soon as you are able to imagine a human being, whether known or unknown, male or female on the surface of the mirror,
continue with the imagination of houses, areas, places, etc., until you have achieved a wonderful skill here too. Only now are you prepared magically to execute the correct mirror magic.


This preliminary exercise is very important because the mental, astral and material eyes must get accustomed, with the help of these imaginative exercises, to perceive the size and the clearness of the impressions. Otherwise one will perceive distorted pictures only. Performing this preliminary exercise, one must never tolerate any pictures to appear in the mirror spontaneously, which could easily occur in the case of persons with spiritualistic talents.
Therefore one must firmly refuse all pictures that appear unwanted on the surface of the mirror, however beautiful and fantastic they might be, because anything unwanted that one does see belongs to the realm of hallucinations, reflections of the mind from the subconscious that like to appear to deceive the magician and prevent him from his work. Performing this preliminary exercise, one will notice that the imaginative work becomes much easier, the bigger the mirror happens to be.
