Your advice with the mirror worked. I had this small wooden tray that I'd decorated with a sacred symbol in a mirror finish, then covered with clear resin and added crystals so it was all very reflective. Used it as desk decor on a stand. I've had people eye it at exhibitions with ill intentions (wanted to steal/copy/force me to give it away for free). This time it kept falling but then stayed steady after I told mum I'll keep it inside on day 1. When going back my driver dropped the box and broke it - the only thing with major damage even though I had glass jars in that box.
I don't know if it was a single person that weekend or bad energy from several persons over all the exhibitions, but kind of felt like it had had enough. The day after, pup mauled dad just before he was set to travel to his hometown to confront his sister over stealing all our inheritance - he's now getting extra vaccines etc due to his diabetes and is in a lot of pain - silver lining though is that he's getting almost-free specialised care for the diabetes.
Also, friends and relatives who encouraged me to make candles etc are now attacking me for wasting my time and money - apparently me and my creations are a waste of space. Lots more went on that weekend and since, and I'm pretty close to you-know-what, but I'm also kind of getting angry and stubborn, so kind of a good thing, maybe?
Either way, thought of you when it happened. Was upsetting wrt the value of it, but also felt like it was inevitable and also that I had a protective shield from a friend. So thank you
