If you believe in luck you would think breaking a mirror is bad luck. But most people agree that breaking a mirror is not true. There are other crazy things that people say about bad luck. Like opening an umbrella in a house, putting your shoes on the table, walking past a black cat and walking under a ladder is all bad luck. These are all myths. And not many people believe in all of this. So no, it is not true that breaking a mirror is bad luck.

∙ 13y agoIt has been considered bad luck to break a mirror ever since the Ancient Romans lived. They were the first to create mirror of glass, and they - along with the Chinese, Greek, Indian and African cultures - believed that a mirror was able to take away a part of the person gazing's soul. Furthermore, they believed that if the mirror was broken, it meant that his or her soul would be trapped in the world the mirror represented. Basically, a broken mirror created a broken soul which lead to broken health of the user. What's more, the Romans believed that every person's physical body was renewed every seven years, so that's why it would take seven years of bad luck to compensate for the broken mirror.
