They are a part of the shamans armor to protect them while spirit traveling in trance to the other worlds. During a ceremony held for the soul of a person who died, the shaman will use 2 mirrors while in trance for protection. one to shine light and illuminate the path for the soul, the other to help the soul find paradise.
