Ouija Rules For Safety

[SunKat]

The Ouija and other similar boards are marketed in the games category and the last time I bought one there were no rules in the box. Everyone knows how to use a Ouija Board and it's not like you're trying to compete. So there really are no rules to follow.

However....

Whether you're using the board as a source of laughter and merriment or you're seriously trying to communicate with spirits, the fact remains...

'Things' happen when you use a Ouija Board. No matter what your reasons for opening that box, there are certain steps you should take to protect yourself.

 

Never Laugh At The Ouija Board

You may or may not believe it's possible to contact spirits. But the fact of the matter is, when something does happen and the planchette starts to move, you really have no idea if it's just one of your friends fooling around, an actual encounter with a spirit, or a demon from Hell coming through to latch on and haunt you for all eternity. For that reason, it's important that you never laugh at or make fun of a Ouija Boad. You never know who you might be offending.

Always Treat Your Ouija Board With Respect

For the same reasons you should never laugh at your Ouija Board, you should also always treat it with respect. Don't try to argue with the spirits or push them to respond faster. Be polite when you ask questions and if they don't answer the first time, ask it again, politely. If they still don't answer, move on to the next question. But never curse the entity who is communicating with you, never call them names or threaten them. Remember, they're coming through to you from the other side - you can't touch them, but they can touch you!

Always remember to thank the spirits for taking the time and making the effort to communicate with you. Because, for them, it is an effort and they don't have to come through if they don't want to. They're doing you a favor each time they answer a question, so remember to thank them for it every single time.

 

Be Of Sound Mind And Body

People with emotional, spiritual or psychiatric problems should never use a Ouija Board. Should an evil or malicious entity appear they may not have the mental strength to ward off attack. Spirits recognize these people as easy targets.

You should also never be under the influence of alcohol or drugs when using the Ouija Board. This even includes marijuana and nicotine. Persons with diminished mental capacity, for whatever reason, are more easily possessed and terrorized, even if it is only by their own imaginations.

Make Sure Everyone In The House Consents

Spirits and demons who come through via the Ouija Board can't tell the difference between the people who are actively using the board and those who are just present in the house. Make sure everyone in the house, even if they're not in the same room, knows you're using the Ouija Board and understands the potential for danger. And never force anyone to stay on the premises if they don't want to be there.

 

Never Use The Ouija Board Alone

Never, never, EVER use a Ouija Board unless there's someone else in the room with you. At the very least you'll want a witness to the events that occur. More important, you may come under some type of spiritual or even physical attack during the course of your spiritual communication. Even if everything that does happen is only because of your own over-active imagination, it's best to have someone who can help calm your nerves.
