*Spoilers all books* Gerrymandering, Portmanteaus, Magic Mirrors and Astral Projection Part II

[Onion king beyond the wall]

Magic Mirrors (Jing) have always been considered a gateway into the Energetic and Spiritual Worlds. It was believed that Magic Mirrors made spirits visible, and before mirrors were made from various metals or polished stones, the ancient Daoist priests used still bodies of water from within lakes, ponds or bowls as access portals into the Spirit World. The most ancient Chinese Magic Mirrors do not have handles. They are circular in design, and have pierced knobs in the center of their back through which a cord of various colored silk or red rope was passed for holding. Mance's red silk in his cloak, the multi colored silk coming out of robert strong's helmet....
Magic Mirrors containe five small embossed circles that were arranged in the form of a cross on the back of the mirror’s surface (Figure 1.2). According to the ancient Daoist tradition, these five small circles symbolize the combined spiritual nature of both the observer’s Wu Jing Shen (Five Essence Spirits and the Five Element correlations (North-Water, South-Fire, East-Metal, West-Wood, and Center-Earth). Which now starts to make me think that if dany was in the middle for earth, its hard not to believe she is not Jon's twin... his yang to his yin, his opposite mirror image. Almost like how lyanna is Rheagar's? 

From the Buddhist tradition, the mirror is placed upright in a container of barley or grain, and is covered with one of five colored silk cloths that represent the Five Buddhas. According to the ancient Buddhist tradition, these five small circles symbolize the Five Buddha Wisdoms. The ancient Buddhist priests commonly used Magic Mirrors in order to show chosen disciples the form in which they would be reborn. Tibetan Magic Mirrors have always included various colored silk cloths (white, yellow or red) attached to the mirror. The white, yellow, or red silk colors represente the rituals of purification, enrichment and empowerment. A black silk ribbon has never been used, as it is believed that the black color would “cloud” the mirror with the influences of malignant or disease causing spirits. According to ancient Chinese Daoist texts, on the glass itself, and sometimes on the back of a Magic Mirror strange patterns of divine landscapes were painted. These patterns could also include the energetic forms of either the Twelve Astrological Animals, Prenatal or Postnatal Trigrams, The Twenty-Eight Constellations, specific cloud formations, or lake and mountain formations. These mirrors were designed so that various images would appear when they were exposed to certain types of light. Perhaps this is what all the rubies on Rhaegar's armor was about? He was mapping out the exact place he wanted his soul to astral project. Later, Magic Mirrors were constructed from polished metals, usually silver, bronze (two parts copper one part tin), bell-metal (a combination of copper and tin), or a combination of silver and tin. However, it was the ancient Chinese bronze mirrors that were believed to possess magical qualities, on account of the wisdom they had absorbed. The Royce's words "We Remember".  Now the next part has a little bit of faceless man vibes to it as well.  The reflection in the mirror is believed to be the image of one’s soul. As the individual stares into the mirror, the changes of the images reflect the many faces of his or her own past lives. It is believed that if a man looks into a Magic Mirror and cannot recognize his own face, it is a sign that his death is near. Lady Catelyn forseeing her own death in Remly's armor...made by Tobho Mott as a magic mirror? So Stannis' shadow baby could kill him?
Types of mirrors
A Solar (Yang Sui) Mirror, is used for exorcising evil influences. If a Solar Mirror is exposed to the sun, the fire of Heaven appears. This is because the Yang Sui Mirror attracts and embodies the fire of the sun on Earth. Perhaps what happened at summerhall? they used the wrong mirror to bring forth the dragons....but maybe a solar mirror is need to bring forth the ice dragon...which is what happened at the Tower of Joy.... to bring in fire dragons you need a ...A Lunar (Fang Chu) Mirror is also a mirror used for defending against and removing evil influences. A Lunar Mirror picks up heavenly dew when it is exposed to the moon, because it quickly absorbs the watery essence of the moon. Perhaps why it succeeded. Dany's resistance to fire, edwin ruud's tankless water heater design, the mirror corn maze, in shape of Salt's elemental symbol for protection...Doing the funeral pyre at night and using Lunar Mirrors to absorb the watery essence of the moon. 
The illuminating power of the mirror’s ability to reflect the past, present or future can also be increased by having the Daoist absorb light-talismans, while imagining and visualizing the left eye as a shooting star and the right eye as lightning. This allows the adept to clearly see mountains and forests, people, and spiritual entities. This all just screams Bloodraven, Euron and Beric. 
Finally all this magic mirror talk brings us to a connectionwith Bran (who happens to be with someone named meera) and any warg/warger relationship as well, But also ties in Nicely with Rheagar taking over Mance's body. While using a Magic Mirror, in order to increase his or her power over the individual observed, one can also employ the unique skill of projecting a “Tunnel of Light.” The Tunnel of Light technique is initiated during strong, focused concentration. This allows an energetic connecting channel or “line of force” to be established in the Spiritual World, energetic and spiritually linking the practitioner and the individual being observed. This powerful connection causes a polarization of the particles existing within the composition of both energetic and spiritual substances. The polarized particles manifests in a consistent current of intense vibrations, which serves as a channel for the transmission of energy and spirit.
This “Tunnel of Light,” serves as an already established conductor of energetic vibrations, currents and waves, which carry the practitioner’s perceptual senses back and forth to the individual being observed. It is through this Tunnel of Light that the practitioner can perceive and observe all people, places and things within the time-space continuum. Through the Tunnel of Light, one’s physical senses can actually feel, see and hear things being manifested at a distance.
The projected Tube of Light forms a more powerful conductor, capable of transforming vibrational resonance, particle to particle, and is sometimes used for “Binding”, prohibiting certain energetic or physical actions Once the Tube of Light overtakes and envelops the receiving individual, positioned at the other end of the Tunnel of Light, he or she will then be more susceptible to a greater energetic influence of thought produced “induction” 
Now that i think about it... gerrymandering, which is the portmanteau, that found me the caricature is.... to manipulate the boundaries of (an electoral constituency) so as to favor one party or class.
achieve (a result) by manipulating the boundaries of an electoral constituency.
"a total freedom to gerrymander the results they want"....which in this case is talking about manipulating political boundaries, but in our story i believe its talking about bran/actually probably Bloodraven, the loki figure, manipulating time, and getting the result he wants
