🕯️

“What you see in others — and it hurts — is yours.”

🔹 Archetype: Projection

That which you judge outside is often what you refuse to feel inside.

🔹 Symbol:

A cracked mirror reflecting a face that doesn’t quite match.

🔹 Card’s Role – The Mirror

She doesn’t cast spells. She just looks you in the eyes — until you see everything you’ve hidden from yourself.

She doesn’t attack. She doesn’t judge. She simply reflects.

And when you look away — she laughs gently. Because she knows… you’re not ready.

But when you come back — she watches with you. And whispers: “Finally.”

🗝️ The Card’s Message – Extended Meaning:

There are moments when you feel irritated, betrayed, envious — and you’re sure it’s “because of them.”

But the Mirror Witch comes to say:
“That pain? That judgment? That tightening in your chest? It’s not about them. It’s yours.”

She reveals the harsh truth: what disturbs you outside often reflects what lies unresolved inside.

Maybe you criticize someone’s weakness… because you were never allowed to be fragile.
Maybe you envy someone’s freedom… because you’ve caged yourself for too long.

She doesn’t punish — she invites. To reclaim what you’ve rejected and make peace with your reflection.

Because whatever you run from in others… will always chase you inside.

This card asks:

  • Are you willing to look into your own eyes — without flinching?
  • Can you meet the parts of yourself you’ve denied… and offer them love?

🔮 Reflection Ritual

  1. Stand before a mirror in silence.
  2. Light a candle. Look into your own eyes. No words. No smile. Just presence.
  3. When you feel the flicker — say aloud:
    “I see. I won’t run. I return to myself.”

🌫️ Card’s Mantra:

The mirror doesn’t lie. But you might not want to look.
