The Mirror Issue, containing an editorial introduction and the following articles…

• Magic in the Mirror: Helen Cornish and Maria J. Pérez Cuervo on the magical uses of mirrors and reflective surfaces from ancient times to the present day.

• Dark Doubles: From fetches, changelings and doppelgängers to mechanical dolls and replicants. Elizabeth Dearnley delves into one of our most enduring fears—that of the dark double.

• Gallery/ Through a Glass Darkly: Four classic on-screen tales where the mirror shows what is hidden and becomes a portal to another world, a spirit trap, or a surface that reflects the future or the past.

• Becoming Other: Katy Soar analyses the almost universal connection between mask, ritual and transformation, and looks at how masks are still used in contemporary Witchcraft and Wicca to create experiences of the mysterium tremendum.

• The Vampire’s Lost Reflection: Sam George on how Bram Stoker used folkloric beliefs about mirrors and shadows to make Dracula the embodiment of an ancient, unstoppable evil.

• Lucifer in London: For Kenneth Anger, making a film was like a casting a spell. John Gwatney follows the track of the director in Britain and its influence on Lucifer Rising.

• Mirrors Between Worlds: Tunji Offeyi reflects on the similarities between Yoruba cosmology and British folklore and on the power of myth for those who navigate cultural spaces.
