Cleansing/disconnecting a talisman or stone... and my involvement in it?

[neumeindil]

Attempting to keep this brief: my Other Half is an empirical thinker and Buddhist on the Autism spectrum. He regularly wears a gold and onyx ring that belonged to his step-grandfather, a man who saw only my Other Half's "disability" and wrote him off as "useless" for most of their lives together. The ring was initially a gift from the grandfather's

If you haven't already, I'd smudge/cleanse the entire house. Other things you can do to your house -- add plants. Basil and rosemary are good for protection. You could sprinkle salt on the carpets/floor and allow it to absorb negative energy for a minute or two before you vacuum or sweep it out while visualizing the negative energies leaving your home

Thanks for your thoughts. You've hit on my biggest trouble-- my protective stones keep breaking, usually the bezel, but at least twice the crystal itself has cracked. So it sounds like time for an upgrade there. The bath may be difficult since my tub 1) doesn't hold water and 2) is where I spent most of the days during my last miscarriage, but I might be able to modify the normal ritual for the shower at the inlaws' since we have to go back to finish cleaning and put in AC units before they come home for the summer

Which is why suggesting sage incense might work better. People are more used to incense, so the act of using it might be as funky to him.

I think other people in this thread are giving excellent advice already but I just want to ask, why are you spending so much effort and emotional energy on someone who believes that the things you work with every day don't exist, and that it's "crazy" to see or interact with them?

I get that from the world around me enough already. I don't need it in a romantic partner, too. (And the Autism spectrum is not an excuse - I know many Autistic witches.)

You deserve to be believed, especially by the person who is asking for your help in the first place...

I love who I love. That he's experiencing an awakening is nothing to worry about. It should, from a community standpoint, be something to celebrate, since someone who depends on scientific proof and reasoning is now willing to admit there are things science does not yet understand, coming out of the camp that writes our collective experiences off as "mental illness".

I'm hoping this post on your part comes from a good place, but so far all I can really gather from it is that you're being judgmental and possibly projecting.
