Why do you need an obsidian mirror?

The English occultist John Dee owned an obsidian mirror, with the help of which he summoned spirits and predicted the future. Related video An obsidian mirror owned by Renaissance mystic John Dee is of Aztec origin, new research has revealed. Gizmodo reports. Renaissance thinker John Dee was born in 1527 and was interested in a wide variety of topics, ranging from mathematics, geometry, astronomy and astrology, to alchemy and the occult. From 1550 to 1570, Dee was Queen Elizabeth I’s scientific advisor, but he always had an affinity for the supernatural. By the 1580s, Dee had become seriously interested in fortune-telling in an attempt to predict the future. Among his tools were crystals, including real crystal balls, as well as several mirrors, one of which was made of obsidian. Historians had previously suggested that the hand-held obsidian mirror was of Aztec origin. And new research has confirmed this theory. An archaeologist from the University of Manchester and his team carried out a geochemical analysis of the mirror, in particular, they used X-ray fluorescence analysis. “Obsidian is ideal for this type of analysis. This rock only occurs near a limited number of volcanoes, so the number of potential sources is small and we largely know their composition,” says Campbell. In the case of John Dee’s mystical mirror, its chemical fingerprint matched that of Mexican obsidian. Most likely, the mirror was created by the Aztecs in the city of Pachuca. The interest of Europeans in such mirrors could have been caused by the way in which the Aztecs themselves used the artifacts. Obsidian mirrors were spiritual objects that were used for healing, protection from evil spirits, and capturing souls. Experts say the Aztecs had a deity called Tezcatlipoca, whose name translates to “smoking mirror.” The deity had an obsidian mirror with him, with the help of which he observed the actions of people on earth. The unusual mirrors apparently made a lasting impression on European colonizers, who sent the artifacts home as treasured possessions. It is known that Dee was also interested in the Spanish conquest of America, and probably heard stories about obsidian mirrors. After Dee’s service to Queen Elizabeth I ended, he traveled around Europe with Edward Kelly, a famous medium who claimed to be able to communicate with spirits and angels through crystal balls. Dee and Kelly often performed “magical” experiments in front of the royal family, but Dee eventually found himself in poverty. The British became less tolerant of various kinds of occult practices, which directly affected Dee’s earnings. He died in poverty at the age of 81. The location of Dee’s grave remains unknown. Dee’s obsidian mirror eventually fell into the hands of the English writer and politician Horace Walpole. Today the artifact is kept in the British Museum.
