A form of divination or fortune-telling that uses mirrors or reflections, especially looking at images in mirrors to see visions of the future.
From Greek 'en' (in), 'optron' (mirror), and 'manteia' (divination). The word literally means 'divination by mirrors,' combining the tool with the practice of foretelling.
Mirror scrying was taken seriously in medieval and ancient times—people believed that if they stared long enough at a mirror, the supernatural could show them what was hidden, which is actually an early example of people understanding how eyes can trick your brain.
