I will leave it to the Hindu religious experts to answer that, but whether or not any "regualr" lineage of tantra practiioners and devotees has used mirrors, their use was described in early 19th century eye-witness accounts of *Indian Sex Magic* -- notably the famed "bhattah mirrors" prepared by virgins, etc. Also see the mid-19th century author Paschal Beverly Randolph on the consecration of bhattah scrying mirrors with hashich and sexual fluids.
