In LDS Temple Sealing Rooms, Why are There 2 Mirrors Facing Each Other with an Altar in Between Them?

Born and raised a Mormon (until the age of 54), I was indoctrinated that the only way to be married—the “right” way before God—was to be “married and sealed for time and all eternity” in an LDS temple.
So at the ripe “old” age of 44 (for a Mormon 😉), that’s exactly what I did.
That was my dream.
That was my goal.
That was the ONLY way to be married on earth and STAY married to my husband after we died. We HAD to be “sealed” in an LDS temple by a temple sealer who held the priesthood keys to seal us husband and wife after we died.
For me, there was no compromise and no substitute so I faithfully waited until I met my “eternal companion,” and we were married AND sealed in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple on February 11, 2012.
After the sealing was performed across the altar, we were told to stand in front of the altar and look into one of the mirrors on the wall across from the altar. Behind us, there was another mirror. As we stood there and gazed into the mirror, we could see behind us and in front of us (via the mirrors’ placement to each other) an endless image of us. We were told that this represents “eternal families and the generations before you and the generations that will come after you and you are now sealed to your families forever.”
Very moving.
Very inspiring.
Very comforting.
And the Very reason I waited to be married AND sealed in that building.
For the next 13 years, I believed with all my heart that I was sealed for eternity to my husband (and any children), as long as I stayed true and faithful to the oaths, vows, and covenants I had made that day. I also believed that I would receive exaltation in the highest degree of glory, the Celestial Kingdom. [And no, I did not dwell on the “plural wives” in the Celestial Kingdom because my husband said he was not going to be sealed to anyone else!]
Fast forward to January 2025 when Jesus told me to resign from the LDS Church before I got excommunicated for teaching women how to receive their own personal revelation [long story, but you can read about my “Jesus Journey” here.”]
Ever since resigning from the LDS Church, Jesus of Nazareth via the Holy Spirit, has been teaching me and showing me things about the LDS Church and its temples that have literally been blowing my mind as to how evil they truly are—but how cleverly and masterfully Satan has disguised them as “true” and “the covenant path” back to Father.
I have made other posts re: the LDS Church, so if you’re interested, please check them out:
Why Am I “Attacking” (Exposing) the LDS Church?
“Kerry, why do you keep attacking the church? Just leave it alone and go in peace.”
That’s a common request/plea/demand I get from Mormons, and it’s a valid one. Let me briefly explain my reasons here:
I do not have a personal vendetta against the LDS Church.
I was never abused, tortured or physically harmed by the LDS Church.
When I resigned from the LDS Church, I vowed I would leave it alone and let everyone just worship however they wanted—they could believe the church was “true,” even though I didn’t believe that anymore—and I was just going to “leave it alone.”
God has worked on me continually since resigning from the LDS Church, teaching me and showing me where the LDS doctrine is false, rejects Jesus, and sets up temples and family to be the idols that LDS member’s worship. He then tells me, “Show them. Teach them, Kerry. Show them the false teachings of that religion. You were once a member and you believed those teachings. Show them the truth. Teach them where the roots come from.” And then God shows me things that I had NO idea about—like the Kabbalah Tree of Life and THIS post about 2 mirrors facing each other—WHAT??
My intention and purpose with all my posts is the following:
to expose the DOCTRINE of the LDS church and how far off base it is from the actual teachings of Jesus Christ.
to expose the STRUCTURE of the LDS Church that is ultimately rooted in Lucifer’s government and kingdom (The Kabbalah Tree of Life).
to expose the PATTERN of Satanic Ritual Abuse, from prophets and apostles down to Primary leaders, that has been happening since its formation and is continuing to happen today, with absolutely no accountability from the perpetrators to protection of the victims.
The Purpose of This Post:
This post is about the 2 mirrors hanging in every sealing room of the LDS temples and what those REALLY are about…
I will confess that I never asked about these and what they meant because I just figured it had to do with their (false) belief that sealings seal families together and the mirrors are just a nice touch to “show” that in a pretty cool way…
Boy was I mistaken!
A few weeks ago, I got an email with a video entitled “Old World Estates Kept Twin Mirrors Facing One Another — What Appeared Between Them At Night?”
Well, it instantly caught my attention because of the “twin mirrors facing one another” in LDS temples.
So I have delved a little into this topic by watching 2 videos about mirrors and the traditions and evolution surrounding them.
I have reached my own conclusion about the “twin mirrors facing one another” in LDS temples, and I will do my best to allow you to reach YOUR conclusion by simply presenting information that was contained in the 2 videos referenced below.
For me, I found it extremely fascinating and validating given that:
· Satan is the father of lies (John 8:44)
· Satan is the deceiver of the whole world (Revelation 12:7-9)
· Satan holds great power and the kingdoms of this world (Matt 4:8-9)
The history of mirrors, twin mirrors facing each other, and the fact they are hanging in sealing rooms in LDS Temples across the world is now no surprise to me. It just continues to validate to me what those buildings really are.
DISCLAIMER/SOURCE: For the remainder of this post, I have COPIED and PASTED from the transcripts of the 2 videos linked below what I considered to be the “highlights” and “main points” re: the history of mirrors so you can quickly glean what they are saying.
I had NO IDEA of these past practices re: mirrors, and as always, you are free to reject this information or research it further. It’s totally up to you. I am just exposing what I find.
The 2 Videos I Watched
1. Old World Estates Kept Twin Mirrors Facing One Another — What Appeared Between Them At Night? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqEhNtD6YI4
2. People Covered Their Mirrors Every Night before 1880 – What They Were Afraid of Seeing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gs3exkDAEXU
Did you know that before the 1880’s, people would cover their mirrors before going to sleep at night?
Journal entries from that time period record:
Back to the early 1500s in Bohemia, a merchant named Vaklav Ruby wrote in his account books between entries about the price of salt and the cost of repairing a wagon wheel. A single line that has puzzled researchers ever since. He wrote that he had purchased a second cloth for the mirror in the hall because the first had become, in his words, too thin to be safe.
Too thin to be safe? A merchant in the year 1526 worried that a cloth covering his mirror was not thick enough to be safe? What did he think would pass through it?
A noble woman in Bavaria in 1604 writes to her sister that the new black silk hangings have been delivered and that she will sleep easier now that the great mirror in the dining hall is properly dressed.
A Russian Orthodox priest in 1712 records in his parish journal that he has had to remind several families in his congregation that the cloth must cover the entire mirror that even a single uncovered inch is in his exact words “a door left a jar.”
An English physician in 1769 writing a manual on the proper management of a healthy household lists among his recommendations that mirrors should be covered before sundown and that this practice was in his medical opinion “essential to the prevention of nervous disorders in children.”
Nervous disorders in children? A physician, a man of science by the standards of his time, recommending the covering of mirrors as a medical intervention??
And this is the pattern we see across the records. The further back you go, the less the practice is treated as superstition and the more it is treated as common sense, as obvious, as something that simply must be done.
Old World Estates Kept Twin Mirrors Facing One Another
Old world estates between 1720 and 1880, Versailles, Blenheim, the Winter Palace, the Hermitage, Rothschild residences in Vienna, always had the same arrangement, twin mirrors facing each other, something metallic between them, usually elevated, usually aligned with impossible precision.
The mirrors and the item in the middle were catalogued as ONE “operational assembly,” not three separate items.
The installation period for these mirror assemblies peaks between 1780 and 1840. Their disappearance accelerates between 1870 and 1900. Those dates overlap almost perfectly with the largest economic and political restructuring events in modern western history. The Napoleonic Wars, the revolutions of 1848, the American Civil War, the consolidation of industrial capitalism, the rise of nation states, the destruction of older dynastic systems.
The great families changed during this period as well:
The Rothschild banking empire transformed from a tightly controlled family operation into national financial institutions.
The Vanderbilts evolved from shipping dynasties into industrial monopolists and philanthropists.
The Russian Imperial family, owners of some of the most elaborate mirror installations in existence, disappeared entirely after the revolution.
The systems changed. The mirror configurations disappeared with them.
That does not automatically prove conspiracy.
MERCURY & TIN MIRRORS:
A mirror in the 1600s, 1700s, and through most of the 1800s was not made of cheap aluminum backing on a thin pane of glass. It was made of mercury and tin, fused together into a tin amalgam, applied by hand to a thick sheet of hand-blown glass, often slightly imperfect, often greenish or bluish in tone.
The process was dangerous. Mercury vapor poisoned the craftsmen who made these mirrors, and many of them died young with shaking hands and confused minds in the workshops of Venice and Nuremberg and London.
But the mirrors they produced were of a quality that modern mirrors cannot match. They were deeper. They were richer. They had, according to contemporary accounts, a quality of reflection that modern observers described as almost three-dimensional, as if the image in the glass was not flat, but had depth, as if you could fall into it.
NEW PROCESS - SILVER COATING MIRRORS
And then in the 1830s, a German chemist named Eustus von Liebig invented a new process, the silvering process, a way to coat glass with a thin layer of metallic silver using a chemical reaction that was cheap, fast, and did not poison the workers. By the 1860s, the new process was being industrialized.
By the 1870s, factories across Europe and America were producing mirrors at a rate the old craftsmen could never have matched.
And by the 1880s, the old mirrors were being thrown out, replaced, discarded as old-fashioned. This is the period, exactly the period, in which the practice of covering mirrors at night also disappeared.
Did the practice disappear because people stopped believing the old superstition?
-or-
Because whatever had lived in the old silver could not live in the new silver because the danger had been engineered out of the new product?
The 1870s and 1880s are not a quiet period in world history. This is the period that researchers of forbidden history have come to call the great reset or the great rebranding. It is the period when the old architecture of the world, the architecture we today call Tartarian, was systematically demolished, repurposed or rebranded as something else.
ENERGY THEORY:
The [Tartarian] buildings themselves were part of a system that channeled some kind of energy and that the mirrors were part of that same system. That the mirrors were not decorative, that they were functional, that they did something. If you accept that theory, even for a moment, the practice of covering them at night begins to make sense in a new way.
Because if the mirrors were functional, if they were doing something, then covering them at night would be the equivalent of switching off a machine before going to bed. Not a superstition, not a morning ritual, a simple practical precaution. You do not leave the machine running when you are not there to supervise it.
But what was the machine doing?
Difficult to know because the household manuals that explained the practice were systematically destroyed in this period.
Letter from a mother to her daughter with specifics about mirrors:
There is a letter held today in a private collection in Prague written in 1874 by an elderly woman to her daughter who had recently moved to a new home in Vienna. The mother, who was 79 years old at the time, was concerned her daughter had not properly understood the importance of the nightly mirror covering.
She told her daughter she must never, under any circumstances, hang a mirror opposite a window through which moonlight could reach it. She told her that mirrors hung opposite each other must always be covered together, never one without the other, because, in her words, two mirrors looking at each other can build a road that does not lead anywhere good. She told her that if her daughter ever woke in the night and saw in an uncovered mirror anything at all that should not be there, she was not to look at it directly, not to call out, not to scream, but to close her eyes, to count slowly to 100, and to wait for the morning.
This is not the advice of a superstitious peasant. This is the advice of an educated woman in one of the great cities of central Europe writing to her grown daughter. Also educated also of the urban middle class.
And the advice is given in the tone of someone who is passing on practical knowledge. Not a warning about something that might happen. A warning about something that does happen, that has happened, that the writer has perhaps seen.
The Pattern:
There are similar letters in archives across Europe and America. They are scattered, often dismissed as curiosities by the historians who catalog them. But when you collect them together, when you read them alongside the household manuals and the parish records and the medical writings of the same period, a pattern emerges.
The pattern describes something that no modern historian will admit is real. The pattern describes things that come through mirrors at night. Not metaphorical things, not psychological things, but specific things with consistent descriptions across hundreds of independent sources, things that were known about in great detail by ordinary people across the Western world for at least four centuries.
And then, in the space of about a decade, those things were forgotten.
3 Categories of What People Saw in the Mirror:
1 – The Watcher: The watcher was not always seen as a figure. It was more often described as a sensation, a feeling of being observed from within the glass. People who looked into uncovered mirrors at night reported again and again across the centuries the distinct sense that something behind the surface was looking back.
2 – The Double: The double was a figure that appeared in the mirror and that looked exactly like the person standing in front of it. Exactly. Down to the smallest detail of clothing and expression. But the double behaved with a slight delay—a fraction of a second after the original moved—the double moved. A fraction of a second after the original blinked, the double blinked. And if the original held perfectly still, perfectly still, and watched the reflection carefully, the double would eventually move on its own—a small movement, a twitch of the mouth, a turn of the head, something that the original had not done. And in that moment, according to the old accounts, the person watching was in great danger because the double, once it had moved on its own, was no longer a reflection. It had become something else. And what it did next varied according to the account, but none of the accounts ended well.
3 – The Visitor: The third category is the one that the old writers feared most and that
appears in the smallest number of surviving documents. They called it the visitor. The visitor was not a reflection at all. The visitor was something that appeared in the mirror that had no original in the room. A figure standing behind you that when you turned around was not there. A face at the edge of the glass looking out of the frame at an angle no living person in the room could have produced. A shape that moved across the surface of the mirror from one side to the other as if walking past, while the room itself remained still. The visitor was rare. The visitor was dangerous and the visitor, according to the warnings, could come through if the mirror was left uncovered long enough in the right conditions on the right night.
What were the right conditions?
The accounts agree on several points:
The hours between midnight and 3:00 in the morning were considered the most dangerous.
A single candle was the most dangerous illumination.
Mirrors that faced east towards the rising sun were considered slightly safer than those that faced west.
Mirrors in rooms where someone had recently died were considered the most dangerous of all and were often removed entirely.
Mirrors that had been imported, that had come from far away, that had passed through many hands before arriving in the home, were considered to carry with them whatever had previously visited them.
Mirrors that Had to be Destroyed:
There are accounts in the parish records of several towns across central Europe of mirrors that had to be destroyed, mirrors that had become, in the language of the time, “occupied.”
The procedure was specific and ritualistic.
1. The mirror was to be removed from the wall at noon in full sunlight with the eyes of the person carrying it averted.
2. It was to be wrapped immediately in a cloth that had never been used before.
3. It was to be carried to a place far from any other reflective surface.
4. There, in the presence of at least two witnesses, it was to be broken into pieces so small that no recognizable shape remained.
5. The pieces were then to be buried in three separate locations, none less than a mile from the original home.
6. The cloth in which the mirror had been wrapped was to be burnt.
This is not the procedure for disposing of a piece of furniture.
This is the procedure for sealing away something dangerous. And it was practiced across Europe and America for at least four centuries by people who believed with the same calm certainty with which they believed in the weather that some mirrors could become occupied by things that needed to be sealed away.
Then it stopped.
When Mirror Covering Stopped:
In the years between 1878 and 1884, the practice of mirror covering disappeared from Western homes.
The household manuals stopped mentioning it.
The new manuals of the new era treated the old practice as a quaint superstition.
Newspapers ran articles mocking the practice.
Schools began teaching children that mirrors were simple physical objects, that reflections were nothing more than light bouncing off a silvered surface, that there was nothing to fear and nothing to cover.
The old mirrors were replaced.
Estate sales in the 1870s and 1880s show a sudden, unprecedented surge in the disposal of old mirrors. The mercury amalgam mirrors that had hung in the same homes for generations were sold off in enormous numbers, often at very low prices, and replaced with the new silvered mirrors.
Within a single generation, the old mirrors had largely vanished from Western homes, and the practice of covering them at night vanished with them.
They didn’t just fade away gradually over the course of generations.
It did not retreat to the countryside while the cities moved on.
It did not survive in pockets of tradition the way most old practices survive.
It vanished completely in less than a decade and it vanished at exactly the same time that the old mirrors themselves were being replaced.
Why Mirror Covering Stopped and The Price We Pay:
The great mirror replacement of the late 1800s is not a story about technology and economics.
It is a story about safety.
It is a story about a quiet, undeclared, and largely successful effort to seal away something that had been a part of human life for a very long time.
What has been the cost of that effort?
The price we have paid for the safety of the new mirrors is that:
We have forgotten what was ever there in the first place.
We have forgotten what our great-great grandparents knew.
We have forgotten the procedure for destroying an occupied mirror and the reasons for never hanging two mirrors opposite each other.
We have forgotten the watcher and the double and the visitor.
We have forgotten that for four centuries across the entire western world, ordinary people followed a nightly ritual to keep something out of their homes.
And maybe that is for the best.
Maybe the new mirrors really did solve the problem and the forgetting is simply the natural consequence of the solution.
But maybe not.
Maybe some of the old mirrors are still hanging in attics and antique shops and country houses, waiting for someone to look into them at the wrong hour by the wrong light.
Maybe the door that was closed in the 1880s was not closed everywhere.
Maybe in some homes, in some quiet rooms, the old conditions still apply.
[End of video transcripts]
Maybe the two mirrors hanging opposite each other in the LDS temples are not for the reasons you’ve been told.
Did you know that this practice in LDS temples started in 1877 under Brigham Young with the St. George temple?
1877...
Exactly during this time frame…
Kind of makes you wonder, doesn’t it?
Or maybe not?
"Oh it's probably NOTHING, Kerry!! You're just going down your LDS conspiracy theories again!"
Well then, I guess it's just a "coincidence" that LDS temples have 2 mirrors facing each other in "sealing" rooms--something that used to be a FORBIDDEN practice in society, for reasons that no one exactly knows...
