Snow White and the Magic Mirror is a popular fairy tale that has been adapted and retold in various forms over the years. The story follows a young princess named Snow White, who is known for her beauty and pure heart. However, her stepmother, the Evil Queen, becomes jealous of Snow White's beauty and seeks to be the fairest in the land. To achieve her goal, the Evil Queen possesses a magic mirror that is able to speak and answers all questions truthfully. Each day, the Queen asks the mirror who the fairest in the land is, expecting it to proclaim her as the most beautiful. However, one day, the mirror responds that Snow White is now the fairest in the land.

In pre-Christian Norse mythology, seiðr was associated with both the god Odin, a deity who was simultaneously responsible for war, poetry and sorcery, and the goddess Freyja, a member of the Vanir who was believed to have taught the practice to the Æsir.

There were also accounts of male practitioners, known as seiðmenn, but in practicing magic they brought a social taboo, known as ergi, on to themselves, and were sometimes persecuted as a result. These skills made them indispensable during times of illness or strife, as they could provide both physical and spiritual remedies for their communities.

However, one day, the mirror responds that Snow White is now the fairest in the land. Enraged, the Queen orders a huntsman to take Snow White into the forest and kill her, bringing back her heart as proof. The huntsman, unable to commit such an act, lets Snow White go and she ends up finding shelter in a small cottage in the woods, belonging to seven dwarfs.

Seiðr

Seiðr was a type of magic practiced in Norse society during the Late Scandinavian Iron Age. The practice of seiðr is believed to be a form of magic relating to both the telling and shaping of the future.

Meanwhile, the Queen, still yearning to be the fairest, disguises herself in different forms to try and kill Snow White. These attempts fail, and each time she asks the mirror who the fairest is, it continues to reply that Snow White is the fairest. Eventually, the Queen succeeds in poisoning Snow White with a poisoned apple. The dwarfs are unable to revive her and place her in a glass coffin. However, a prince happens to pass by and is captivated by Snow White's beauty. He kisses her, breaking the curse and awakening Snow White. Snow White and the prince then marry, and the Evil Queen is punished for her evil deeds. The story ends with the mirror's final proclamation that Snow White is indeed the fairest in the land. Snow White and the Magic Mirror teaches important lessons about the dangers of vanity, jealousy, and the power of true love. The mirror in the story represents a symbol of self-reflection and honesty. It serves as a reminder that true beauty comes from within and that appearances can be deceiving. Through the experiences of Snow White and the Evil Queen, readers are encouraged to value inner beauty, kindness, and love above all else..
