The day has come! We’re finally discussing mirrors 🪞 This topic has come up many times, and it seems to have been sprinkled throughout other episodes frequently. So ~ta~da~ join us for episode 16: Smoke and Mirrors! From childhood games, to portals, and personal stories, we’re ~reflecting~ on all aspects of this heavily spooky subject.  Strap in, folks 👻 Look in the mirror. The face that pins you with its double gaze reveals a chastening secret. - Diane Ackerman I had to edit this episode in the daytime and turn around my full length mirrors during the process, cause spirit was CHATTTYYYY. Not familiar ones though, sooo not today, not ever, uninvited spooky bois.
