Astrology in The Hall of Mirrors

 


In the years prior to 1870’s……mirrors were made containing Mercury and if you were to face two of these mirrors opposite to each other they create an optical infinity tunnel of repeating, receding reflections which reflect parts of the infrared spectrum differently to modern mirrors. Placing them closely around a heat source (over the fireplace - or a candle on a table between them) can create a thermal resonant cavity that concentrates radiant energy in the centre. Light will bounce back and forth between the parallel reflective surfaces producing a tunnel like effect. Infact the images do not go on forever but with each bounce between them the Mercury amalgam absorbs a tiny fraction of the light, images grow dimmer, more blurred and take on a green shadowy tone. They have the potential to form a portal that might trap negative energy. Many back in the day say they saw images of different times and people they could even attempt to communicate with. As though somehow time was trapped in the memory of Mercury. Pharaoh's were buried in a coffin surrounded by a stream of Mercury to help them get in touch with the spirits so they could help them return home. So there is something going on here we might think of as ridiculous today and yet. 

So two parallel mirrors trap electro magnetic energy……could this be similar to the electrical production Tesla had in mind. Was it stopped because of these side effects of contacting different times.  Maybe not but something does appear to be happening and these mirrors have history. In Feng Shui we are told never put two mirrors opposite to each other and that goes back to these times, perhaps does not apply nowadays in silver back mirrors. In a Mormon church the couple kneel facing each other with mirrors behind them whilst they make their vows so they are married into infinity. 

Lets play with it another way we know that planets in their positions at the time of our birth have an effect on the Earth so lets take a look at our own birth charts and how they have an effect on us. If we draw a circle and place the planets around it as they are at the time of your birth and then using only aspects between 180 (Tritone or diablos), 150*, 135*, 120* and 108* 180* being the most difficult of all of the aspects but perhaps using these larger aspects and putting a mirror of 10* size in the place of any planets we have. My own would look something like the windmill above. If in a circular room of mirrors what effect would the placement of the planets have. We could clearly see the opposite planet in a 180* aspect. Still be able to see in the smaller aspects but to a lesser degree. So do we have to face the fact that our planets do indeed create energy good or bad in the centre of the circle or our bodies. Perhaps a reason for Feng Shui to recommend we keep the centre of our rooms empty. Or why torturers might place the chair in the centre of an empty room before they start their interrogation. 

Not much reflection going on iin my 2nd, 6th, 10th, or 11th houses but otherwise quite a good range. I think a trip to a Hall of Mirrors is called for. Enjoy your thinking. X
