It was once believed that the soul was present in one's reflection. So, the breaking of a mirror was equivalent to destroying the spirit. A broken mirror was often thought to foretell a death or some tragedy in the family. These are just a couple of theories. Follow this link for more info.

In the olden days, Mirrors were very expensive & hard to come by. Therefore, if you broke one, you were "out of luck".
