Mirror

MIRROR, an object that serves the dual purposes of reflecting light and facilitating self-reflection, is used in a ritual context to enhance and amplify the effects of light upon the forms created. Through the process of reflection, the mirror multiplies and magnifies the forms produced by the rays of light, thereby intensifying the ritual's outcomes. This entity serves an essential office in both physical and symbolic realms, combining practical optical properties with ritualistic significance.
