Called (perhaps relevantly) catoptromancy was the ancient Greek “science” of divining the future by the character of one’s reflection in a bowl or pool of water (before the invention of glass mirrors). A distorted reflection meant a distorted future. A damaged mirror, as an extension of the theory, meant a damaged future = bad luck.
