I don't know the word but the power of certain minds? Is it real?
3 years ago I had a week's horrible unexpected hospital stay. I swelled up so much I took my engagement ring off (not my wedding ring).
When I came home I put it somewhere "safe" as I was still bloated and since then I haven't found it. I'm almost certain it was in the kitchen but to this day I haven't found it.
It's a beautiful ring, not massively expensive (cost £375 18 years ago). It was designed based on Monica's ring from Friends but opposite settings - emerald cut sapphire, with a small diamond either side on a white gold plain band.
Can anyone help me find it please? 🙈 I'm not spiritual but willing to try this ridiculous plea to being my lovely eing back to me.
AIBU?
Can this be true?

The St Anthony thing is fascinating! I almost feel like losing something so I can give it a try!
Out of curiosity, does a general prayer to him work? Or does there have to be specific wording to the request?

And I thought he was the patron saint of travel, but I must be wrong (though it would kind of make sense for runaway items!).

Sorry! You basically get something sharp (eg a badge, pin, needle etc) and stick it into a cushion whilst saying 'I pin the devil to find *' 3 times.
No idea where it comes from, my mum used to swear by it, I thought it was nonsense until I tried it once to find something I had been searching for for hours, walked upstairs 2 mins later and there it was right in front of me 🙀

How do you pin the devil? Not heard of that.

I had never heard of that saying either but maybe like a magpie likes shiny things, the devil has absconded with the OP's ring.
This is what I found when I searched for "Pin the Devil":

Have you had all the things out that can be pulled out, ie washing machine, fridge etc pulled fully out? Not relevant if it’s all fitted it but worth a try if they are moveable.
