| Abstract: | We all know Brothers Grimm’s “magic mirror on the wall” in Schneeweißchen (Snow-White), where a pathologically troubled queen religiously stands daily before a mirror, interrogating it “who’s the fairest of them all?” Mirrors are impartial in reflecting back what stands before them. For this reason they have since time immemorial been the object of myths and rituals. Mirrors graced temple entrances, reminding approaching devotees they should shed any falsehood while stepping in to stand before the gods, who discerned what lies deeply in their hearts. |
