What is CATOPTROMANCY? Catoptromancy is derived from the Greek word "katoptron," meaning mirror and "manteia," translating to divination. In other words, catoptromancy is divination through use of mirrors. The famous Disney movie, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," capitalized on catoptromancy in its popular scenes where the wicked queen asks, "Mirror, mirror, on the wall. Who is the fairest of them all?" Employed to tell the future, catoptromancy is moreover a means of self-reflection that enables the person to delve deep into the psyche to find understanding and resolve.
