Tibetan shamanic mirror Dzogchen 55 millimeters

The shamanic mirror is found all over the Eurasian continent. From Tibet, Siberia, Nepal to China. In different regions, the shamanic mirror is known with different names, such as Kuzungu, Toli, Panaptu or Melong.

The backside of the mirror can be decorated with all different kinds of motives and symbolism, but the frontside is often very shiny and should be regularly polished to reflect all negative influences away.

The shamanic mirror is one of the most important attributes in the tradition of Spirit of Wolf and is worn during rituals to amplify the power of the heart and to protect it against malignant forces. 

The shamanic mirror can also be used for oracles, scrying, for healing rituals and as a spirit container. 

Diverse metals have certain correspondences such as: 
- Brass or bronze, connected to the Sun
- Silver, connected to the Moon

These mirrors are made in a traditional Tibetan style. In Tibet these are called 'melong' and are a symbol of the Dzogchen path. In this tradition, the mirror itself represents the pure, true nature; the state of mind beyond the illusions of duality, also referred to as the 5th element (Space or Emptiness). The mirror thus represents our full potential, past the human concepts of body, mind and emotions.

In each of the four directions of these mirrors (representing the four cardinal points, four elements or four directions), a group of three dots can be seen. These represent multiple trinities that are recognized in the Dzogchen tradition, such as the trinity Body, Speech and Mind (the three concepts in which a human would divide himself and which all need to be transformed to reach the goal of the Rainbow Body). Or the three Buddhist Jewels; Buddha, Dharma and Sangha or the trinity of Base (essence), Nature and Energy.

These mirrors come from Tibet and are made of brass. Please note; the fabrication of these ones is not of particularly high quality. These are simple machine-made mirrors and lack the care of finishing touches by an individual blacksmith. Therefore the price for these mirrors is relatively low. But of course, with your personal care and attention, they are ready to do the work nevertheless.
