Welcome back, I’m Adeline Atlas, 11-times published author, and this is the Mirror Mirror series. In this video, we’re going to explore a crucial aspect of mirror work—how to close a mirror portal safely. Closing a portal is different from sealing a mirror, and it’s essential that you overstand how and when to do it to ensure your space remains energetically protected.

Mirrors are more than just reflective surfaces—they act as portals that can connect you to other dimensions, spiritual realms, and energies. Once you’ve engaged with a mirror for divination, spirit communication, or energy work, it's important to close the portal you've opened. If you don’t close the mirror portal properly, you risk leaving it open to external interference, energetic disturbances, or even psychic attacks.

In this video, we’ll explore what it means to permanently close a mirror portal, the difference between sealing and closing a mirror, signs that indicate it’s time to close a mirror for good, and the step-by-step process to do so.

What Does It Mean to Permanently Close a Mirror Portal?

When we talk about closing a mirror portal, we’re referring to the act of sealing off the energetic doorway that the mirror creates when used for spiritual or energetic purposes. Mirrors act as energetic interfaces or gateways, allowing energies to pass through from the spiritual or unseen realms. Once you've completed your work, it’s necessary to close this gateway to prevent ongoing energetic exchange or spiritual interference.

The permanent closure of a mirror portal means ensuring that no more energy or entities can pass through it. This isn’t just about sealing the mirror temporarily or covering it after use. It involves closing the portal so completely that it no longer functions as a doorway, ensuring that no lingering influences, spirits, or energies remain attached to the mirror or your energetic space.

This is particularly important if you've been using the mirror for spirit communication, divination, or working with powerful energies. Failing to close the portal after engaging with these forces can leave you vulnerable to ongoing psychic activity or spiritual interference.

Why is Closing a Mirror Portal Different from Sealing a Mirror?

The terms sealing and closing a mirror are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same. While both processes are essential in mirror work, the key difference lies in the intention and finality of each action.

1. Sealing a Mirror
   Sealing a mirror is typically done at the end of a session to contain the energy you’ve worked with. It’s like locking a door but leaving the space still accessible. Sealing is meant to contain the energy within the mirror or the space around it, preventing any residual energies from lingering or interfering. It doesn't close the portal permanently but rather keeps it contained until you're ready to engage with it again. Sealing is like putting the mirror on "pause" or "hold" while protecting your space.
   
2. Closing a Mirror Portal
   Closing a mirror portal is a more final and decisive action. When you close a portal, you’re completely shutting off the energetic gateway that the mirror opened. It’s the act of ensuring that no further energies, spiritual forces, or information can pass through. You’re not just containing the energy—you’re severing the connection between realms, safely detaching yourself from the spiritual work you’ve engaged in. This is the step you take when you want to ensure the mirror is no longer functioning as a portal.
   

Signs You Should Close a Mirror for Good

There are specific signs that indicate it’s time to permanently close a mirror portal. These signs suggest that the mirror’s energetic link has run its course or that there is a need to end the connection with that particular mirror or energetic work.

1. You’ve Completed Your Spiritual Work
   Once you’ve finished your work—whether it’s divination, spirit communication, or energy healing—it’s time to close the portal. If you no longer need access to the energies you’ve been working with, or if the mirror has served its purpose, closing the portal ensures that the energy isn’t left lingering.
   
2. The Mirror Has Attracted Unwanted Energies or Entities
   If you’ve noticed that the mirror has attracted unwanted energies, entities, or negative spiritual influences, it’s crucial to close the portal. Mirrors can become conduits for spirits or energies that you don’t want in your space. If you feel that your work with the mirror has attracted entities that are not aligned with your highest good or if you’ve had disturbing experiences during a mirror session, it’s time to permanently close the portal to prevent further interference.
   
3. The Mirror No Longer Feels Aligned with You
   Sometimes, after engaging with a mirror for some time, you may feel that the mirror no longer aligns with your energetic needs or spiritual work. Perhaps it’s no longer providing clarity, or you feel disconnected from the energies associated with it. If you feel that the mirror is no longer serving its intended purpose, closing the portal is a necessary step to ensure that no outdated or irrelevant energies continue to influence you.
   
4. You’ve Experienced Unexplained Negative Effects
   If you’ve experienced negative effects such as increased anxiety, psychic disturbances, nightmares, or other signs of energetic imbalance after using the mirror, it could be a sign that the portal was not closed properly. These effects may indicate that the mirror is still open and attracting negative influences. It’s time to close the mirror portal and reset your energy.
   

What Happens If You Don’t Close a Mirror Portal?

If you fail to close a mirror portal after use, several things can go wrong:

1. Lingering Energies or Entities
   As mentioned earlier, mirrors can act as conduits to other realms. If left open, a mirror portal can attract or hold onto energies, spirits, or entities. These energies may linger in your space, causing disturbances, emotional upheaval, or even physical sensations such as cold spots or a sense of unease.
   
2. Ongoing Psychic Drain
   An open portal may drain your energy over time. The mirror may continue to reflect or draw energy, leaving you feeling fatigued, emotionally drained, or spiritually depleted. If the portal remains open, it could interfere with your mental clarity or leave you vulnerable to psychic attacks.
   
3. Spiritual Interference
   An unclosed portal is essentially an open doorway to spiritual interference. You may attract energies or entities that disrupt your peace, invade your personal space, or interfere with your intentions. If you’ve been working with a mirror to communicate with spirits, leaving the portal open may invite unwanted spiritual influences or even negative attachments.
   

How to Permanently Close a Mirror Portal

Here’s how to safely and permanently close a mirror portal:

1. Cover the Mirror
   The first step is to physically cover the mirror. This serves as a symbolic and energetic gesture that you are closing the portal. Use a cloth or fabric that feels neutral or protective, such as a black cloth or one infused with a cleansing intention.
   
2. Detach Energetically
   Once the mirror is covered, close the portal energetically. Visualize the mirror’s surface as sealed—imagine it shutting down like a door or window closing. See a bright light or protective symbol (like a lock or barrier) securing the mirror and the energetic space. This visualization ensures that no energy, entities, or spirits can enter or exit through the mirror.
   
3. Perform a Closing Ritual
   To reinforce the closure, perform a short ritual that serves to seal the mirror portal. You can say something like:
   "I now close this portal, and I release all energies that have passed through it. Only energies aligned with my highest good remain. This portal is now permanently closed and sealed."
   You can also burn sage or use any other method of cleansing to clear the area around the mirror.
   
4. Protect the Space
   After closing the mirror portal, it’s essential to protect the space. You can do this by creating an energetic shield around the room or using protective crystals, such as black tourmaline or obsidian. If you’ve been working with specific energies, you can call upon your higher self or spiritual guides to reinforce the closure and protect the space from any lingering interference.
   
5. Store the Mirror Safely
   After closing the portal and cleansing the space, store the mirror in a safe, quiet place where it will not be disturbed. Ideally, keep it covered and out of sight until you are ready to engage with it again (if at all). Keeping the mirror stored away ensures that no energies can continue to interact with it.
   

Closing a mirror portal is an essential step in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of your mirror work. By permanently closing the portal, you are protecting yourself from lingering energies, psychic drain, and unwanted spiritual interference. Remember, sealing and closing are different practices, and closing is the more final, conclusive step in ending your energetic engagement with the mirror. If you ignore the signs and fail to close the portal, you may invite confusion, energy drain, and spiritual disturbances into your life.
