The Ouija board has a rather obscure history but the many tragedies wrough by its use do not.
Those who choose to make contact in the preternatural realms should have professional training before attempting such things. It is NOT a game!

The Ouija is in fact a serious spiritual tool. For those who know how to use it and take it seriously, it can be a wonderful learning tool. Perhaps a warning label should be put on the box, such as, “Warning: Not for use if you are an immature, bored teenager or adult who absolutely has no common sense whatsoever. Do not use if you are trying to impress your friends, your girlfriend or boyfriend by conjuring up Satan himself, any of his cohorts, Bloody Mary, the local deceased mass-murderer, etc. Do not use if you have been drinking and/or are high on recreational drugs or otherwise intoxicated. ALWAYS protect yourself spiritually before using this board. Laughing, joking, accusing your partners of moving the planchett, mocking and/or poking fun at a spirit that happens to come through the board is not considered protecting yourself and will often provoke the spirit or attract an otherwise nasty entity that you will regret. Ignoring this warning can be hazardous to your physical and mental health.”

I have had some really strange things happen while doing the board it really affected the rest of my life and has made me a lot more alert about certian things,

but maybe this isnt for the best because who knows what makes that glass move for sure

I can honestly say that it as told me some stuff i havent got time here to get into but to anyone else it would seem like the typical same old storys of the ouija board, but until we know what this board is capable of it should be treated with a lot of respect

i am 25 years of age not really religious just a normal person of my age who discovered the board threw friends and my honest advise is dont mess with it until you can truly understand what your are actually encountering..

ouija boards dont work for me but when i get near one i get severe depression. but the way to use the board is blank your mind completely and then just rest the fingers on it. my friend died but i never used the board to make contact im sick out of weeks depression so i no longer play with it.

Like automatic writing the Quija board brings more false information that it ever brings worthwhile and can be very addictive. It should not be sold in toy stores and for the same reason liquor and guns aren’t. Even many adults are too weak minded to use an Ouija Board because they often have never had any contact with the spirit world and do not realize that most of the low level spirits that answer a Quija Board’s call are nothing more than spiritual con artists and hucksters that enjoy dominating, controlling and scaring someone into submission causing them to do stupid and even worse sometimes dangerous things to themselves.

For those that disregarded the above paragraph remember beyond information a person should never do anything a Quija Board “instructs” or “tells” them to do because even in simple things that is the beginning of their control and then the “trickster entity” goes to more complex things. Then you become like a trained dog and the “trickster” will have you “jumping through hoops of fire” for his enjoyment.
