A hexenspiegel (HEX-un-spee-gull) is a small mirror used as a protective charm to reflect away negative magicks, the evil eye, or other bad omens or intentions, as well as return the negative energy to the sender. Its basis is in German folk magick: translated, it means "witch's mirror." Hexenspiegels may be suspended from cords, fastened to walls, or, in the case of small ones, worn as jewelry.

To make your own hexenspiegel, use a plain mirror or use craft glue to adhere small stones, crystals, beads, or other items of choice to the mirror's edges. Charge the mirror by sprinkling it with salt, passing it through the heat and smoke of a candle, and dabbing it with pure water. Place the hexenspiegel where it will carry out your intention, saying:

"Mirror, mirror, on the wall, answer
my protective call. Turn away the
magick black, with all your pow'r,
please send it BACK!"
