Ouija Boards

[revelations]

I have messed around with this in the past, didnt do me any favors either!

But I was wondering if any of you know how to do ouija board in a safe way?

[vorador]

i don't think there is. different people warn against it. from christians to new age psychics the common belief is that it's bad. sylvia brown is a psychic that appears frequently on the montel williams show. she said it's bad because it acts like a portal and attracts negative beings too it. my own experience is that my mom told me about how one of her friends messed with it and had very bad experiences with it. i would stay away.

[zarah]

I agree.

All of the experiences Ive had with the boards are negative and Ive never heard them be described as 'safe'. Why dyou wanna use them? For fun? Or to make contact with a particular spirt?

Actually, as I was typing all of that I remembered a positive experience I had with one once: The spirit said he was my dead brother and allowed me and my OH at the time to feel him..it was a very peaceful, lovely sad experience. Whether that was him though, or a spirit playing with me I dont know.

[neutron flux]

Hmmm...now where did all this hysteria about Ouija come from, I wonder?

The board acts as a mirror, so if you've had some negative experience then it's something that's already in you or another person at the board - so the board itself can be used as a self-development tool to cleanse any attachments that may have latched on to yourself or others.

It is imperative to learn as much as you can and do your research on a number of things before you even attempt using a board.

I don't think they're are bad at all - it depends on the people.

Don't believe the hype. :cool:

..................

Because it's a tool one you can choose without the need for any Guru/teachers etc, they don't want us to know we have our own power and don't need the Mystery schools etc etc. We can do this without them.

And yes the moral and message of neutorns post is choose wisely who you do a board with. A state of mind can attract like energy, best not to dabble when you're in a bad mood IMO.

[drael]

Its possible to do a relatively safe reading via this method, but there are more accurate and useful methods of contacting spirits - tarot for example. Spirits speak in symbols, as the universal language and communicate better through more traditional methods of divination.

That said, summoning spirits is silly. Even highly refined methods like direct channelling are not without danger. If u know a particular person who has passed, get someone to channel them for you, like a medium. With experience u can tell good from bad etc, but it takes time. Basically bad spirits can be very deceptive, so its like a kind of street smarts.

[revelations]

Thanks for the replies, I dont have any real intention to EVER use the board again. I was just curious as to wether there was any info on how to do it in a safe and controled way. ;)

[lostwonderer]

Ive tried it about 3-4 times,dont think there all that bad as people say.

........................

Why bother with symbols ( which can be missread )when you can use the English language, it's a much more direct way. BTW better off making your own spirit board ( I don't like the word ouija )

[particlezen]

i've dabbled repeatedly and it never worked AT ALL.

[eternal_spirit]

i've dabbled repeatedly and it never worked AT ALL.

.......................

It's rare to get a result working alone. It also depends who you do this with, some people it works others it won't and can have better results at times almost seems random, ranging from... nothing, little results ...or a full blown coversation.

I had communciation for about 2 years alsmost every day. Gave me poems, even drew pictures. Used a wooden egg cup with a hole through it, to fit in a pencil ( sounds nuts but true ) put that on top of a piece of paper... I asked what did I have for dinner and it drew a pic of my meal.

A small glass tumbler is about the best slides easily, on a glass table, wood polished table, even a mirror.

Another time asked draw something topical in the News, drew the space shuttle. Not perfect drawings but good enough to make out what the picture was of.

The big mystery and question really is is it spirit communication, or some kind of way of communicating with yours and the people's involved subconcious minds.

Tried asking questions silently without speaking words, and been given answers to questions.

[eternal_spirit]

cut equally 26 square pieces of paper to write the alphabet on, 10 pieces of paper with 0 to 9 written on, and two pieces with yes and no written on the paper.

Form a circle with the letters of the alphabet, then arrange the numbers 0 to 9 inside the cirle, in a straight line or in the shape of a semi circle, then place the yes and no in the middle of the circle.
A mirror or a polished smooth table is best, all you need then is a glass put this in the middle of the circle ( small tumbler is best) put your finger any you wish to use though index feels most comfortable on top of the glass and ask out in your mind or physically with words.....Is ther anybody there, or something similar anyone want to talk?
If it works and you get a strong connection with a spirit the speed the glass moves at is fast! don't panic unless it starts spelling out horrible stuff, just start again ask if anyone is there?
hopefully another purer spirit will then start to communicate with you.

If the glass moves towards the edge of the circle and trys to break through the circle aks it to stop and if it doesn't take your fingers off the glass. Some say you shouldn't allow the circle to be broken.

Be patient, sometimes it will spell words that seems like gibberish, maybe write them down and look these words up. If you don't get an on topic answer to a question, try wording the question differently.

[revelations]

9 out 10 times i can get a glass to move within 30 seconds ...thats by myself without anyone else touching the glass. :eek:
i've dabbled repeatedly and it never worked AT ALL.

[revolutionary_jam]

This is like a spiritual amusement park

there's some good advice:
Don't mess with other realms until you've mastered this realm...









...and when you master this realm you won't mess with other realms HAHAHHAHAHA

Did anyone try make the DIY
spirit board and have any results?

[neutron flux]

This is a recent session that some might find interesting:

Session Date: May 25th 2008

Laura, Ark, and 7 other people present

A: Welcome!

Q: (L) And who do we have with us this evening?

A: 5 near of Cassiopaea.

Q: (L) Why five?

A: It's a special occasion!

[Personal remarks deleted]

Q: (L) I have the idea that we should make a video to show people how to safely and effectively use a board-type instrument to work through their issues, to find out what's lurking in their own subconscious mind, possibly to do spirit release therapy on themselves (one of the few ways it can be done), and just in general to bring some light to the topic of using a board-type instrument as a means for self-development. What do you think about this idea?

A: 5 of us think it is stupendous!!!

Q: (L) Are there any particular dangers to this plan? If people who are ignorant or spiritually weak would attempt to use a board-type instrument, obviously they would have problems. Is that not correct?

A: Of course, but that is just the sort of person who would try trance channeling with absolutely no warning system in operation.

Q: (L) What do you mean by a warning system?

A: No conscious feedback.

Q: (L) What about people who talk about having played with a Ouija board or spirit board and they had some sort of bad experience and they felt like there was something evil there and they got scared away or creeped out? What about those kinds of stories?

A: Some of them are true, but most of them are just made up.

Q: (L) What about the ones that are true?

A: That is what we mean about a "warning system."

Q: (L) What do you mean that's what you mean by a warning system?

A: Those kinds of entities are around a lot of people, they just don't know it unless they interact in a way that removes the veil and exposes the fact.

Q: (L) So you're saying that when they use a board, it shows them what's there, and otherwise it's there and they don't know it. Is that what you're saying?

A: Yes

Q: (L) And does that also mean that if such people were to try some other form of channeling, that they would be interacting with something that their conscious mind would not perceive as yucky or unpleasant?

A: Yes

Q: (L) And why is that?

A: When an invitation to "come in" is given, the entity can produce pleasant sensations that override the conscious warning system. When a board type device is used, it gives a distance and a layer of protection. You then can choose if you wish to continue the contact or not. You don't have that choice when the entity has already been invited "in".

Q: (L) So it's kind of like the vampire movie! The vampire says, "Enter freely and of your own free will!" And if you do, you're screwed. And if you say, "Come in and talk to me, you're my higher self!" you're screwed! Very interesting. So in other words, when people are using the board and they have an unpleasant experience, it's actually a good thing because it's warning them to not proceed and to have no further contact with that entity. They can choose to send that entity on down the road. Is that basically it?

A: Yes

Q: (L) Will that entity go away if they tell them to go?

A: Yes, normally: and they also have their full body sensorium to warn in the event that the entity does not. But having said that, it is also important to remember that most entities that are encountered this way are already "in residence." A person who has a direct personal encounter with a repellant entity is usually only meeting the "neighbors".

Q: (L) So you're saying that what people most often encounter in these exercises will be attached entities that they don't even know are in residence in their space? Is that it?

A: Yes

Q: (L) So, anybody who encounters something really yucky and wants to throw the board away has just thrown away probably one of the best methods for finding out about this entity and helping to get rid of it. Is that it?

A: Yes

Q: (L) Because just because they have thrown the board away, that doesn't mean the entity they've encountered has gone away. He has just been enticed to speak, and once the board is gone, he goes back to lurking. Is that it?

A: Yes

Q: (L) Most unpleasant. (J) Is there ever a case where using a board could attract an entity that wasn't there beforehand? That seems to be the key question...

A: Yes, if the individual is knowledgable and the entity needs help. Also it must be made plain that young people, because of their natural tendency to dissociate, ought not to be around such activity.

Q: (Ark) Well, we still have the question about what happens to passive participants. (L) Passive participants in what respect? (Ark) I mean because we were talking about people who do the session, and they are so to say "active" at the board, but there are usually observers and a lot of entities attached to them...

A: That can present problems in some cases. Ideally all participants and attendees ought to be "clean."

Q: (L) Alright. So we'll deal with that some other time.
...
End of session

I prefur the word "spirit boards/device" rather then ouija board.
Ouija has become a trade mark toy for kids.
When really tis not a toy.
I've read you can chant a prayer of protection.
Along with circle your self in candles to be safe.
But really the board is just a tool.
Its mostly ones intention and mood that attracts what there projecting.
Along with what ever random spirits are near perhaps.
I would not believe everything a so called psychic on television says.
It can be used as a portal from "inviteing ANYthing" to the board.
One should not invite any stranger to there door step.
Same rule should be made for the board.
Negativeity attracts negative at times.
Oh no christians warn against it.
To bad they dont warn against there erm other things.
Its not just negative (bad) spirits that can be deceptive positive (good) spirits can be as well.
Picture being stuck on the earth plane bored as can be.
You just might be so bored you would find it amusing contacting those on this realm.
Theres better ways to make contact with spirit(s) in my perspective then a board.

[jconnar]

I really don't understand how it works to tell you the truth and nobody will give a straight answer. I'n ritual magic, you have to go through all these procedures to summon something, but with an ouija every one seems to do it without doing anything. The board is just a board, cardboard, nothing special. Anyone care to explain?

[psketti]

Thanks for the replies, I dont have any real intention to EVER use the board again.

Should stick to that ;)

Is that the kids game you are talking about?? :eek:

[chadwick]

well i bought a ouija board out of curiousity just before xmas. I figured the kinds of energies me and buddy put out would summon some kind of response, but ye know, just for fun. So we've honestly tried it a few times, nothing huge worth mentioning, it moved a tad a few times, but i think it was coz our fingers were getting tired, so our patience is wearing thin, though a week ago before going to bed i noticed it glowing on the table and had an eerie feeling, was compelled to put it back in its box for some reason, not sure why...anyway, now i'm pissed that nothing extraordinary is happening and i sent it outside on the balcony everynight in -30 temperatures in the snow to see if this affects a future mentionable outcome. I think i gotta abuse the thing, ash and butt out cigarettes on it, burn it, get it dirty, provoke the shit out of it, torture it, just a board but perhaps these entities will be more drawn to it. I'll try it in the graveyard too, this has to up my odds of contact. So anyway i'll update you guys if i get anything in the future. :)

[chokurei]

My late Granny, many years ago rather randomly told me that if i was ever thinking of trying the ouija, not to. She said they were a BAD idea and when pressed to explain further would not say another word, although indicated she had done something with one in the past and that was that. She was, as far as I am aware and can remember, very unadventurous in every respect, but something had definately put her off in the past.

Whether that was enough to put me off for life in itself I cannot say as it was many years ago, but any time I think about having a go I feel sick. I dowse, do Reiki, sense "spirit" etc so not a closed mind but my gut says no.

If something doesn't feel right it's best not to go there, and if you do, protect yourself before starting and close down properly after.

I wonder if it is spirit that allegedly "enters" the ouija or the subconscious/kenetic of the assembled group?

Yeah try the graveyard, but watch out for the vibes they can get...very spooky...

Hey Chadwick if you don't have no joy with the store bought version then try the ES super dooper DIY version.

DIY is the only type I've ever used, never had a go on a store bought one, they are a both a bit different to eachother as you can see by my description below.

PS don't let the fear mongers with their ghost spook stories passed down & been around the block a 100 times..put the shits up ya - the key is controlling the fear. I'm guessing you're not afraid? Good man.


cut equally 26 square pieces of paper to write the alphabet on, 10 pieces of paper with 0 to 9 written on, and two pieces with yes and no written on the paper.

thanks for the support man ! i'm gonna try that paper& glass recipe you put up above, can't wait....yeah i know what you mean about the fear factor, gotta keep that under wraps for sure. I'm serious about the graveyard btw, i want results, positive or negative and willing to accept the consequences. I think it'll be better on a full moon at a graveyard, the ouija is outside in the cold as i speak. Poor thing :D

[sylph]

I have posted this before..but a few girls from school summoned a spirit to curse some of us on a list...the glass went into the air and cut one of them on the face....they were so scared we had a vicar do a speech on the dangers of ouija boards at our school....within a few years each girl was dead from accidents.

Now if it was because of the ouija board or not I can't say but I did have bad luck for a couple of years until in Haiti an old black woman gave me an obsidian cross (for free) and said that I was cursed and that it would 'mirror' back on them.
I asked around and found out about 'the list'...then the accidents occurred...each girl(4 of them) may have attracted it out of fear but still...

would I ever use a ouija board? NO WAY !

I reckon they open a gateway to anything and you can be duped into believing a spirit is kind (this is what the girls said happened to them)
...also any spell can come back on you so it's not worth trying them...its the law of attraction I guess.

If you need guidance just talk out loud (when you're alone or you may be taken away...lol :eek:) to the Godverse or Angels of God. They have never let me down, they always, always give me an answer and I am happy now.

I don't know why the curse seemed to lift after they died...could it have been the symbol of protection? Or the law of attraction again since I believed I was safe now....

If you are of a scientific mind, you cannot say that the law of attraction isn't a possibility....as for Angels....well if they make me smile does it really matter if you think I'm crazy? No....:D

[blooded_butterfly]

What do you recommend?

I recommend working on ones psychic abilities/ extra-sensory perception/sixth sense.
Such as claircognizance/clairvoyance/Automatic writing.

[biblegirl]

I haven't tried one before. I remember a Chris Everard video on "mojos" (which was awesome) where he said if you are going to do spirit contact, don't use a ouiji board for this reason: with the game, rather then attempting contact with a specific spirit, you are pretty much just asking any spirit who happens to be hanging around in the room at the time to contact you. Apparently this is a dangerous thing to ask.

What does the board do though? Its just a bit of cardboard, nothing more.

Its you that opens the gateway, not a bit of cardboard.

Maybe Karma.
Just maybe.
Amusing to think about.
Your experience sounds like a episode from Supernatural.
A mix of a episode of Bloody Marry and a episode of Witches summoning threw a spirit board.
Sounds like a entertaining read.

Unless you happen to come among a Jumanji board uh oh.

[sylph]

I know it sounds unreal but in case I thought I dreamt it all, I went onto friendsreunited and found that old schoolfriends had also posted about it...most people don't know the details but they remember the vicar giving us a lecture on the evils of ouija boards (well we were a church school)....lol:D

[eternal_spirit]

I think it'll be better on a full moon at a graveyard, the ouija is outside in the cold as i speak. Poor thing :D

I admit to working a spirit board in a graveyard in my dinner hour when I was younger, I'd been talking to some of my co workers about my expriences with the board & was sort of asked to show proof that it worked the graveyard/church was right next to the buidling I worked in.

I was a bit obsessed for a couple of years & realised all I needed was some paper a pen & a glass but even a bottle top works so could carry all I needed around in my pockets.

But probably wouldn't do it again in a Church out of respect for the dead & their living relatives. But you go ahead if you wish. Imagine trying to communicate with some dead famous people in some of the biggest churches etc, I'm getting a buzz thinking about it lol, might find out some hidden history etc from such communications Could travel across the country to different locations - Imagine doing West minster Abbey or some of the old castles.

Not dabbled with the board for 20 years. Rarely met anyone who was interested in trying or I could sense they had fear or issues that put me off, but if I felt someone was right I would probably do it again.
I recommend working on ones psychic abilities/ extra-sensory perception/sixth sense.
Such as claircognizance/clairvoyance/Automatic writing.
Okay have had experiences with these methods, but never clairaudioyance :Dclaircognizance the correct term?) in free flowing one on one conversation (unlike the spirit board) just the odd sentence, word & what sounded like foreign languages talking incessently at times as if I'd found a foreign radio station broadcast.
I agree.
Unless you happen to come among a Jumanji board uh oh.
