Why isn’t there any mention of how mirrors are in fact used in the process of weaving a tapestry. During the process of weaving, the weavers only ever see their work from the back side or in reflection through a mirror. It’s only after the tapestry is finished and removed from the loom that it can be turned around and viewed from the front.

I love this poem! Loreena McKennitt set this poem to music and it’s one of my favorite songs ever! This was a very interesting video, thank you!

WOW great to hear the poem and see the imagery connected to it! I could watch this video a number of times.!

It seems as if the shadows tinged the mirror leaving us half sick for the beauty. Thanks for the video.
