Shamanic mirror Dragon and Phoenix 85 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
- Copper, connected to Underworld Sun

This brass mirror is a replica of a shape and pattern very traditional in the Chinese Liao Dynasty (907-1125). It has a beautiful decoration of a dragon and a phoenix on the backside. In this combination, the dragon symbolizes the feminine and the phoenix the masculine principles. Together they symbolize duality, balance, and harmony. A mirror like this is said to especially protect the family, familyhome and marriage.

This mirror comes to us via our friends at Shaman Bazar. It has a diameter of 85 millimeters.
