Ouija... again

[ShadowCat]

Sorry everyone to start another thread on Ouija but there are some specifics that I would really like to know. I have read up on Ouija and made a personal decision not to avoid it like so many recommend. I share the belief that it can be a dangerous tool, but not if used correctly.
I would like to hear any ideas for further forms of protection, in the form of spells, rituals, or simply any ideas of what I should specifically be mentioning in my spells.

[ReverendAJS]

is that there are no "evil" spirits. I use a (an?) Ouija board all the time with nothing but positive results. The need for divination (in the broader sense of the word, not the Miss Cleo sense) is something that human beings as a species needs. Unfortunately, divination has become nothing more than a superstition for most. I have never used any sort of protection and nothing has ever happened...... I WILL EAT YOUR SOUL!!!!! he he, just kidding. :D
If you want to talk about technique or something like that, send me a PM.

I usually just visualize the board being cleared of any psychic nasty stuff and do the same thing I'd do to say consecrate a circle - "Let this board be blessedin the name of the Lord & Lady that it provide us with positive answers from positive spirits. So mote it be" or what have you.

[Myst]

Oh, btw, never be like "oh I don't believe in you, this is crap, prove you're there, you don't really exist" or taunt any spirit on the board like that, it will cause problems. I've heard a story or two about that one :)

[ShadowCat]

Thanx 4 ur opinions :) Keep postin:)

[SilentWolf]

I don't have much experience with Ouija boards, but I have been told by a good friend that when you use the Ouija, burn a black candle so it can absorb and get rid of negative energy.

And I totally agree with Myst. Don't taunt the spirits. I've heard tales of people using the board and ending up saying things like "$^&# you, ya dumb spook!"

Next thing you know, the Spirit is throwing things at them.

[Flaire-FireStar]

I've never tried a Ouija (lemme remember how to spell the word now..) board, but I'd certainly give it a try. :D
Although I'd rather not use the ones that they sell in department stores & they're made of plastic or whatever.. >_< Bleh, plastic.

[Autumn_Joy]

i have tried using a ouija bourd a couple of times, to no avail... but maybe that's just me.
But i would be intrested in reading about your experienced with your board, Shadow cat.
I'd like to give it a try again soon also, so i also look forward to reading any warnings or precautionary measures the rest of ya post up here... Thanx.

[poz]

Do they work when used alone?

[Andromeda]

I have used one.... but not often. I've never had any bad experiences with them..... weird.... but not bad :)

[ShadowCat]

Poz, from what I have heard they can work when used alone but it is not recommended for both practical and spiritual reasons.
First off, it is good to have someone with you who can write down the responses of any spirits who you might contact.
More people could also mean that there is more energy with which to contact the spirit and less fear.
Another real danger is that if you use the Ouija alone and it works it is possible to get addicted to using it, so if you must use it; limit the time that you spend on it.
Hope I have helped :)

same thing with me. my girlfriend got me one. we used it once it moved a bit. but we got interupted by the kids

[Chibi-Fallon]

I have a friend with a key chain ouija board. We use it at lunch and make it say things (it's funner then waiting around for it to say something). Personally for me all the fun gets sucked out of it when you go "Hey. This thing is made by Parker Brothers." ^^ The lunch table spirit seem to have a thing for calling people dorks.

[Rick]

Ouija seems to me to be a form of necromancy, or communicating with the dead. While technically a form of divination, necromancy is also a type of magic (a really serious type of magic). And with any magical working, Rule #1 is <OK, say it together> "Cast a protective Circle." Uncle Ricky's personal experience also says "Cleanse the room with sage, etc, prior to beginning."

Other than that, just be careful who you invite in...

[Valoe]

I first used it about 30 years ago. It works perfectly well with letters written on paper, placed in a circle on the table and an upside-down glass. I think you are right about mocking - the only time I had problems was when someone came along just 'for a giggle'.

[Myst]

Very very wise words.

Also the part about more people helping it work better, often true. Or certain people. Like I'm (evidently) a channeler, so it works really well if I'm holding the planchette too, even if I'm not asking questions, then it does if I'm just sitting there. *shrugs* Sometimes if you aren't careful a spirit will lie or deceiver you, but then sometimes you'll be shocked at the accuracy of the board.

[poz]

One time I used one with my sister and asked it to spell out the name of the person I would marry. I was going with someone at the time and of course hoped to see his name spelled out. It spelled out another name. I asked it again and it spelled it again. I forgot about it and ignored it since I didn't know anyone by that name. About 5 years later I married a man by the name it spelled out!
Creeeeeepy!

[Flaire-FireStar]

Yeah, it is creepy when stuff like that happens.... I usually get dreams like that and then I'm like.....Whoa, I dreampt this like a million years ago. :D But I'd love to try an Ouija board, although not alone... I heard freaky stuff happens when you do it alone. :eek:

[mato]

I find it easier just to be silent and 'listen' to the spirits, it is alot cheaper than buying a ouija board, and there is no harm in doing this alone, infact it is best to do alone. Mind you this is not channeling so there is no need for a recorder present. So that one "I would never use a ouija board" was mine, I dont need it.

[Haedis]

I voted with Mato. Although I HAVE used an Ouija board, its nothing I'd want to do again. I think there are much more efficient ways of divination and necromancy. I have got some results, but less than I have with other forms of divination. I've never had a bad experience with an Ouija board.

[Myst]

I don't need it either but that doesn't mean I would never use it.

It's efficiency and usability is largely up to the user. It works well for me, better then most, and is especially useful in that I am a channeller but I haven't come to terms with directly communicating with spirits, thus they communicate with me through it.

[Vale]

Just some tips when using your board - always respect the spirits, remember to thank them for their guidance and say an opening prayer, when you open the board and a closing prayer, when you end the session. Also, always put your board back in its box and never leave you platchett laying around. When talking to the spirits - pick one person at a time - to do the speaking. When a spirit comes in - ask them if they are of the white light and are they of God and love. Spirit's can fib at times and it doesn't mean they are evil - they could be lost and confused. If they refuse to show you that they are of the white light - tell them to go in peace. I hope this helps those just starting out. One more thing - play soft new age music - they love that!! They love to dance on the board. It's funny.

Yeah, they may love it, but then I'd have to leave... :T 8O

Good advice... well thought out...

[Vale]

Thank you Rick-
I just have to ask though - why would you have to leave if they started dancing on the board? Ohhh, maybe you think the spirit's themselves dance? No, the plachette starts dancing. LOL - It's not as bad as you think. Happy New Year. Vale

Bag Pipe Music??? Ugggghhhh!!!! Nasty - Nasty - LOL Vale
How do you get the smiles to go in your reply box?

[mol]

Its very interesting to read about peoples experiences with these boards. I have been fascinated with them for a long time, but could never bring myself to use one. I just have this thing...I dont use anything in ritual that I can buy at wal-mart! :p

Keep up the conversation though. Quite a learning experience.

[Myst]

Hm I've never seen one at walmart here.

The ones I used most recently were paper placed on a table or ones Magestya handcrafted.

They may not even sell them at WalMart anymore, but they used to.

[Old Witch]

I last used a Ouija board 29 yrs. ago. I got a real nasty spirit, put the board up in the attic ( don't know why I didn't throw it out), kids found it in attic years later, took it down, were playing with it. I freaked and destroyed it. In retrospect, it kinda reminded me of Jumanji............

[Aqua Clio]

I have always steered clear of Ouija boards pureley because I have heard lots of negative stories and am chicken!!!! 8O

It is interesting to read some more positive thoughts on this forum though and I guess if you are sure about what you want to do, are not an "amateur" & do it in the right way, for the right reasons then you should go for it. :bigredgri:

[Mnemosyne]

I don't think that I would use the Ouija for the use of divanation. I have heard people have creepy stories. On the other hand, I have heard that some writers use the Ouija for creative purposes. They use the Ouija to get ideas for poetry and works of literature. The writing couple who clearly comes to mind is Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath. They would use the Ouija to get inspiration.

[Twig]

A history of the board known as Oiuja (as I find it out in "real time")
___________________________________________

1892 - The oiuja board was invented by Isaac and William Fuld, and was patented 1 July 1892. The Ouija board is named for the French and German words for yes - oui and ja. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/andi.bradley/whatya/jul01.htm
_________________________________________________

Talking boards have existed in many parts of the world for centuries. For example in China as far back as 500 B.C. the use of Ouija-like instruments were commonplace, used as ways to communicate with the spirits of the dead. In Greece, the philosopher Pythagoras (ca 550 B.C.) encouraged his disciples to make use of Ouija-like instruments to unearth revelations "from the unseen world." The third-century Rome and Egypt, and thirteenth-century A.D. Mongols, all had forms of talking boards for the express purpose of contacting spirits. The North American Indians long before Columbus' arrival used instruments they called squdilatc boards to locate lost articles and missing persons. It was also used by the Indians to transmit information as to when and how certain religious ceremonies should be performed. Modern use of the boards date back to 1853 when M. Planchette, a French Spiritualist, invented a board that used a little heart shaped, three-legged platform with a pencil as the front leg. This platform was called a "planchette." When the user placed his fingers on the planchette and the platform over a piece of paper and then asked questions, when it worked, the pencil wrote coherent messages on the paper. http://www.geocities.com/tlemnet/oiuja_boards.htm Note-this is a Xtian site and is heavily biased but the above is fact.
_____________________________________
Personally, I don't say that there is "Evil" associated with this thing........ but! :2G: :eyebrow: As one who has used a LOT of devices for divination and dealt with more than a few types of energys I can say this with some degree of certainty. ('member-this is my personal opinion ;) )

1.There are energies that are self serving and for reasons we don't need to know, they can't access this plane directly.

2. The O board is a tool, like others, to bridge across to these planes. (the word -portal- keeps popping up? ).

3. The pointer itself is the tool, not the board.

The only energies I've felt left me feeling "slimey". I've NO doubt they would lie, cheat, and 'sell their mother' to spend time here. I wouldn't trust a word found there.

The Oiuja can be a very good teaching tool but my caution is this:

-Never ever use it alone and without strong protections
-Don't try to contact the dead with it, Ever! It's a trick.
-(sighs) If you do use it anyway :mad: place a mirror toward the board and pointing away,out of your line of sight. If you can see your own eyes, turn the mirror so that you can't. If in trouble, turn your head away from the board THEN turn the mirror face down without looking at it.

Oh Balls! Just don't use the damned thing, Please. There are things that just plain don't give a tinkers damn about you and humans in general and the Oiuja tunes in to their wavelength or accesses their plane and these Spirits DO NOT play fair!. I have yet to find any good karma come from it in the end! Truth be known yes, it does scare me.

We as pagans shouldn't need this mode of access. We have an infinite number of ways to learn what we need to know. Ways full of wonder and light. And when you use the God[ess] you know and love :sunny: I can guarantee you will get better results than with mucking with a realm of unknowns.

Thanks for listening. I bid you Peace,
Twig

[Ball-Bhreac Ròn]

I've got a ritual for 'safe' ouija board use...involves visualising white light etc. I would use one, but I've been told that you should have with you 3 other people who you completely trust...as of yet, I haven't found those three people ;)

[Myst]

Another word of caution - if you don't know at least to use protection magic, to manipulate energy, to use wards, or to banish nasty spirits, save yourself the trouble and find a different tool to use.

I've never had a problem with it but then I dunno, ouija boards and I get along in a weird way. But dozens of people and who knows how many scary stories can't be all wrong. Most people I know rarely use them or refuse to use them at all.

[Epona44]

I bought a new Ouija board years ago, and couldn't make it work, so I gave it away.

A few years later I picked up a used one at a yard sale, and tried again. It worked. I was in a different space in my life and had been working hard for a year before that with lucid dreaming to eliminate nightmares.

When I mastered control over those bad dreams, fear of silly things began slipping away.

This is my recommendation. Are you a fearful person? I ask this in an unchallenging way, just to suggest you look within yourself, first. Do not feel that you must do this and if you are flighty, find a stable level-headed person to join in your session. If you can interest them.

The Ouija is an oracle. Sometimes it is a way for you to set aside your conscious mind and talk to yourself. Sometimes, other entities, good, neutral, or mischievous may come through.

The wooden board, (they are wooden here) is ready made. Used boards can pick up energy from previous users, but they can be cleansed.

I use a horse shoe nail taped to the pointer, following an old custom that iron keeps bad spirits away. I can't say whether it works or not but it does no harm.

Limit yourself a first to once a week at the same time each week. No more.

There are other oracles. Automatic writing is one. The runes and Tarot cards are another. A divining rod, or a pendulum is another.

Think of the old wives trick to tell the sex of an unborn baby. Tie a needle or a nail to a bit of yarn. Suspend it over the mother's abdomen. If it swings in a circle it's a girl. If it swings straight back and forth, it's a boy.

The user is allowing themselves to become a vehicle through which the answer to the question comes. I believe that in many case the answer comes from first within yourself.

Think of the situation in which you live. Does it have sanctity? Living in discord is a bad place to be when doing this work.

[Sisqi]

I haven't really had much experience with the Ouija Board. I had one once, got it for Christmas from my parents way back when I was 16~I remember I had wanted it for so long but I was kinda spooked about it even when I was a kid. I had it for about a week and only used it once with my sister before Mom burned it in the fire place because we were fighting over it. Looking back I take that as a sign and have stayed away from them. Now as I'm older (hopefully wiser) I'm trying to tune in more to my intuition and have picked up trying to learn tarot. What I would really like to get into is scrying, but I haven't found anyone I know who can do it and although I feel moved to stare for long hours into a little mirror, I haven't ever 'seen' anything yet.

just my $.02

[Earthcup]

I would only use one I made and only use it with proper shielding.

Personally, I just don't care for the format. If I feel the need to speak to my ancestors there are easier ways to do that. I would rather search for them with my spirit guides by my side than sit alone in the dark with a piece of cardboard. Just my two cents..

[Flar's Freyja]

I agree.....I think when they first came out they were more of a party game....then came the evil connotations......but I'm sure this is the tool for some serious seekers. The best communication from my guides and ancestors comes to me in meditation, dreams and intuition.

[Rose Sunny Rionach]

I have no problem with Ouija Boards. I don't believe evil spirits can hurt you.. mind over matter thing. Only make you hurt yourself. My best friend used to have a Ouija Board and when we were baby-sitting we used it. At first it worked but then one of the kids would move it. After a while I guess it just got tired of being disrupted and the lens on the planchette popped off.. it didn't fly out.. it just kinda popped out and landed on the board and that was it. Now me and my friend are planning on getting a new Ouija Board (do ya think the cardboard plastic ones work as well?) and going out the the cemetary on a full moon (does anyone know when the next full moon is?) and trying it out.
Everyone says me and my friend are crazy.. maybe so:rolleyes:

[Élistariel]

Back in the days when I was becoming pagan, yet didn't know it, my still Christian friend and I tried out my quija keychain at my grandparents beach house. I always wanted it. It was the first time it was used. 2 in all, the second time, nada. We knew a little about the bad tales, but we are far too curious for our own good. Anyway, we agreed, 1 question each, and 1 for our friend who couldn't be there. We also agreed not to look at the board until the planchett stoped, to assure neither of us cheated. Oh, and we could only place and index finger on the planchett. We didn't want to ask a serious question, like "how did you die" or "how many kids will I have". Back then we both were into mythology and fairies.
My question: Am I a (or part) banshee. (irish/scottish)
Answer : yes
Her question: Am I a (or part) leprachuan. (irish)
Answer:yes
For our friend: What is our friend?
Answer: B-L-T
we just looked at each other like, OKAAAAY? and that was that. True it made NO sense, but what you get is what you get.

[Epona44]

I was interested in this topic years ago and did a lot of reading and thinking about it.

There's Ouija, the Runes, the Tarot, the pendulum, automatic writing, and for all I know, meditation, lucid dreaming, quiet reflection, dancing and music.

Science says we have a left and a right brain, logical and intuitive, Buddhism calls it the mind that speaks and the mind that knows.

All seem to me to be methods to set aside the busy active mind and allow the inner intuitive mind to communicate.

I don't believe everyone is necessarily a good channel for entities from other dimensions of existence, nor do I think everyone would be capable of accurately processing such information.

I do think there is an awful lot of our own brains that falls into the realm of the unknown. The old mapmakers that went to sea used to mark uncharted waters with the warning, "Here be Dragons."

Is there a way to tell when one is using an Ouija board if the answers and comments arise from other than the users? I don't know. But I think it is something to consider.

I also think that for most people this is probably a harmless activity, if handled with a shovelful of healthy skepticism.

[four]

I've used a Ouija board several times at parties. I really have never had a bad experience with it, as it always seems that someone is moving the little pointer. 8O
I guess it could be used more seriously, but I don't think I would use it as anything but a party game.

I know this girl that got Ouija Board for her birthday..

She became so obsessed with it.. She lost all her friends, talked all the time about death, about the lady that she talkes to throug Ouija and how they will unite after she dies.. Well, about one year later she ended up in the hospital and diagnosis: schizophrenia..

I wonder if Ouija just triggered it or..

[ShadowStorm]

That is the ONE thing I won't play around with. My mom was almost killed using one when she was a teen. she was probably exaggerating, but all my aunts collaberate her story. *shrugs* ,she drilled an unholy fear into us kids.

I guess it's a hangover from my childhood days.

I'll just steer clear thank you. You just never know what you're calling on, and I'm too chicken to take that chance!!!!!!

:boing:

[Epona44]

Then there should be no problem.

If you have a strong distrust or fear of it, then maybe you don't need to do it. There are certainly other ways to become receptive to messages from "out there" or from within.

[DracoMalfoyLover]

I love them but sadly I don't own one.I can't tell my mother I am a wiccan or she will put me in a mental institute and I AM NOT KIDDING!!

[Midnight hunter]

Could it be possible when useing a Quija board to bind the sprit contacted and hold it here?

[Marchosias]

Why would you want to?

[Midnight hunter]

Dark curiosity I guess

[WynterWynd]

I would consider trying one again(not Parker bros. ..maybe one I make)

Many (:woah:many!!!) moons ago, friends of mine had a rather bizzare experince with one, but there were no protections or cleansings done at the time......and they were taunting the spirits!!!!!:eek: Bad mojo!!!!!

[WynterWynd]

I found this site tonight and thought maybe some of ya'll may enjoy it! It seems to be the all encompassing Talking Board site!!! Its really interesting!

Talking Boards (http://www.museumoftalkingboards.com/index.html)

[dreamweaver]

To me a Ouija board is nothing more than a tool.It helps you keep your concentration levels up.Anyone who can make contact with the spirit world with one can without.

[FaerySong]

I would use one, so now I have to save up for one. My mom used one when she was younger and got really creeped out by it, and told me never to use one. 8O oh well. It told her she was going to have a baby when she was 21 and she did **me** and it told her friend that she would have a baby at 17 and she did. Oh and it wouldn't tell them if it was a Good spirit or a Bad spirit. *shrugs*

[Blueowl]

My mom bought me a board when I was like 14...my girlfriend and i made up alist of questions and asked....well, the initials of my first husband ended up being true...that was kewl, I also have had numerous experiences with it good and bad...I had this one spirit that is named Wuz...he is an 8 year old kid whose mother killed him....she was into crack....very sweet. I always know when he is on the board because the candle glow brighter and the room just lights up...he is very sweet. Then I had this other spirit named IT....another form of IT showed up one evening...a very strong spirit....and mean, he was so strong he could blow ion the candles and I heard and felt him moving around....he did not mean any harm to me....but that person that originally brought him to the board was not a kind soul shall we say....I had to contact him to call the spirit off because things kept happening after he left....but, I do enjoy the board....just keep in mind the 3 fold law does apply when you are using it...

[StormVixen]

i have had mainly good experiences... once my house nearly caught fire... i dont do ouija bords in candlelight now!!!

[StarCraftLia]

There's a whole page on my website devoted to ouija. ^^

[blackroseivy]

I am bi-polar. I made myself a sort of Ouija board (it has cool stuff like punctuation on it) to specifically get in touch with the mother of a certain famous man who gave me grief for many years. At one point, I couldn't put it down; I asked for all kinds of protection, but the board "attacked" me pretending to be him (yes he is still alive), & after that there were ALL SORTS of people, living & dead... I started to hear voices at a point after having used it a lot. Very, VERY BAD voices!!! :( :( :(

I use it very occasionally now that I am once again entirely stable. (A lot of what happened was actually the fault of the shoddy medical care I was receiving in DC.) I have a dear friend who departed this life last Nov. She is my "protection"; pretty much nobody else can get through. But I take a deep breath & visualize myself alone in a kind of field of energy first. My experiences have only been good since this friend is really the only one to whom I talk. I would be VERY sure of the energies/spirits you are attempting to work with - it makes all the difference in the world. I was attacked by a malevolent being once - then by several - & I don't use the board lightly these days. However, like I said, with me it was a medication problem in many ways; now that this has been solved, I get good, clear communication that I know could only be Veronika & nobody else who might masquerade as anybody I might be vulnerable to & attack me.

[Hærfest Leah]

I also believe that one can be used quite safely, to me it all depends on your frame of mind and purpose. We have one and although we rarely use it I'd have no problems whipping it out.

[LadyCelt]

I used to have a keychain of it when I was younger. I didn't truly belvie, but always waved bye. My firend had a cousin who's board caught on fire.

I also looked on line and one story the user asked it to reveal itself, and it said Satan. And, then she said prove it and it got red and firey hot. Another thing I foudn spelled Beezlebub (dont knwo sp) but naother spelling for Satan.

On another fourm, someone said it said someobdy would die two days later and tehy did. Soemoen I talk to online said that their mom asked if she'd be with this guy forever, it said no, and he died a couple days later.


I thnk spirits may be upset with it, and I can see why. Toying iwth them asking questions liek they are a doll or toy or game.

I don't wanna have it proven to me its real, and I accept it is form what I have heard.

[PoisonIvy]

When I was younger,I got the "Follow me,I am Satan" response from my board so I tried to set it on fire. It wouldn't burn and there are no scorch markes on it to this day. I've also had a few candles spontaneously combust while using my board also.But when all of that crap happened,I didn't know how to use it.
Now my board doesn't bother me at all,actually I enjoy trying to communicate with family members who have passed over. It comes in handy especially around Samhain.

Has anyone used an Angle board? Maybe they are new, do you think they could be positive or just have the same results as Quija boards?

An angel board? No, I can't say that I have. I know Doreen Virtue has an Angel Board she put out. Might be interesting to try out.

I have never heard of Angle Boards. Did you mean Angel Board? It doesn't matter, I'm not familiar with that either. I have used Ouija boards many times, the boxed kind and homemade ones. I have a Psychic Circle as well. I find it a little complicated for my tastes.

I also believe that one can be used quite safely, to me it all depends on your frame of mind and purpose. We have one and although we rarely use it I'd have no problems whipping it out.

This is true. I want to further that by saying if someone isn't in the good frame of mind, if they're feeling depressed or having a sort of stressful time, using a board like the ouija isn't a good idea.

People say that protection they tried to use doesn't work as they still recieve harmful messages. Maybe some protection doesn't work for them if they're not feeling well, under stress and on medication.

I've used the Ouija many times in many different ways in many places and with many different emotions at hand. None of them led to negative experiences. Its all Psychosomatic, you fear it, and fear will control you. The human mind is an excellent "creator" and will produce something you so fear because you think its real. You think there is a demon in the room next to you, you will begin to hear footsteps and scratching if not something more. Tell yourself nothing is going to happen, and nothing will. Ouija is no different than the pendulum, dousing rods etc. Its your subconscious giving you the answers.

I've never used one. But I'm interested in giving it a try.

I've seen a video that made a great deal of idea and concept about ouija board,
It said, if you go with a good positive thoughts,aura,feelings [calm,and ready] and good expectation and do LBRP before it, then it would be no harm.
If you go with bad thoughts,it will come back at you
-Never tried ouija ever-

[Gaudior]

I might try it. That angel board also sounds interesting.

I love them all~!

I've used Ouija boards before, and often had a lot of weird happenings after wards. My friend ended up being obsessed and always want to use the board, it started to freak me out. I just never touched it again ever since. :noway:
