Through Rome, medieval, and modern Europe, “break a mirror, seven years’ luck” locked into English-language pop culture. Older soul-in-the-glass images mix with guilt over costly glass. Korea has other mirror talk — covering glasses, not looking at night. This page reads the story as play and puts first aid and cleanup first. Seven years is not a calendar sentence.
Seven is a cycle number in the West. When the taboo glued to seven years is debated. Films and superstition lists froze the sentence.
Night mirrors, two mirrors facing, a death-room glass — not the seven-year formula. Covering a mirror at a move is a psychological border.
Gloves, paper, vacuum. Protect eyes and feet. Tall mirrors also need tip-over and quake thought.
Palmistry and house-dream mirrors can overlap. This landing stays on breakage lore.
