I recently bought a mirror I intend to use for scrying and possibly spirit communication and/or communication between planes/realms -- and probably spell casting too. I haven't heard much about mirror use in magick outside of scrying, so I have a few questions:

1. What would be best to cleanse it with? I know you're supposed to keep it covered when not in use, and avoid mundane uses once it's consecrated for magickal purposes.

2.) Is it alright to make it a multipurpose mirror? Should I have a separate one for scrying, one for communication, and one for spells?

And I was hoping to get some tips on using it, like warnings and anecdotes, techniques if possible?
