Tibetan silver colored metal shamanic mirror Lo Shu 34 millimeter

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
- Copper, connected to Underworld Sun

On the backside of this mirror, the Lo Shu square (or Nine Halls diagram) can be seen; this diagram is nowadays especially known as an important emblem in Feng Shui, but derives from ancient Chinese mathematical and divination traditions. It is connected with the system of Ba Gua (8 trigrams), which form the core of the I Tjing. These 8 trigrams can be seen in the circle around the Lo Shu square.

The trigrams represent different dynamics, energies, cardinal points, animals, seasons etc. On these mirrors, the 8 of them together, forming a circle, symbolizes heavenly order, a healthy balance and right flow of energy.

The trigram symbols come from very ancient origin; they derive from symbols found on ancient Chinese divination bones dating back as long as 11th century BCE. A similar version of bone oracle is still used today by Turkic and Mongolian people, and also in the lineage of Spirit of Wolf Shamanism; 'Kazhiki'.

In a circle around the trigrams, also the 12 animals from the Eastern zodiac can be seen.

These mirrors come from Tibet and are made from a simple silver colored metal. Please note; the decoration of these mirrors is very nice and in good condition, but the quality of the metal is not particularly high. These are simple, factory-made mirrors and therefore miss the individual care and attention of a good blacksmith. We wouldn't recommend using these mirrors in situations where the protection of a really powerful mirror is needed. These mirrors are more suitable as simple everyday amulets or to be further used in your personal crafting purposes.
