The Mirror Witch in folklore and history

Scrying, looking into a mirror, a bowl of water or a crystal to see what is hidden, is one of the oldest forms of divination. The British Museum keeps a polished obsidian mirror from Mexico that belonged to John Dee, the Elizabethan scholar who used it to seek visions. The Mirror Witch or Wizard prefers illusions, but knows the old trick too.

The Mortvane Registry and its magical paths are fiction. The folklore, history and books behind them are real.
