Ten Ouija Board Tips

[SunKat]

1. Never use the Ouija Board alone. Always have another person's fingers on the planchette (the pointer that moves over the board) besides your own. According to some, using a board by yourself can open a doorway, allowing a spirit to possess your body. True or not, do you really want to chance that? Always have a friend with you and you'll never have to worry. Just make sure it's someone you trust not to play jokes with the board or act immaturely towards the ghost.

2. Try not to be afraid of the spirit, unnecessarily that is. If it's a good spirit, getting over your fear and holding a friendly conversation with him/her can help you connect with your subconscious.

3. Before asking about yourself, find out more about the spirit you're speaking with before deciding if you would like to continue. Use all the details given to judge for yourself if the spirit appears good or evil. Don't forget that spirits are just as capable of making up stories as living humans, so use your intuition. If possible, verify the answers.

4. If the spirit claims to be a celebrity, chances are they weren't. Not only does that remind me of a spirit claiming to be Jimi Hendrix, even telling us the chords to his lost song, but it brings to mind the seance in one of the Bill and Ted movies where the lady claims to have been Joan of Arc in a past life. Except in rare occasions, celebrity = fake. But like the last tip, verify the spirit's details over the internet if you have to. Who knows, you might get lucky.

5. Try not to ask questions that will scare you as some spirits will feed on your fear. Even if the spirit can tell you when you will, not only do you really want to know, but you won't know if they're serious or not. Just because they're a step closer to the Akashic Records (where all wisdom is stored for those who believe in it), doesn't mean they've yet learned to access it.

6. Limit the amount of time you spend using your Ouija Board. Keep it down to only a handful of hours each week, if that. Too much use can almost be like an addiction and some spirits might just use that to their advantage.

7. Take any precautions your religion/beliefs may suggest. Cast a circle before the session and close it at the end. Keep a rosary on the table. Anything you can think of to lessen the risk of communicating with an evil spirit is wise. Sure, you can get along fine without it, as I used to, but why risk it if you have the means and the knowledge.

8. Keep your eyes on the planchette. Never leave it unattended. If it constantly goes to all four corners or does figure eights, sometimes at alarming speed, this can indicate that you have an evil spirit, although, as mentioned in another article, I have used figure eights with a good spirit, but I also knew and trusted her. If these things happen, immediately flip over the planchette and use it upside down.

9. If at any time during your conversations you feel the spirit becoming hostile, immediately say goodbye and put the board away.

10. If the time ever comes where you would like to dispose of your Ouija Board, don't burn it. Some people say the proper way is to break it into seven pieces, then sprinkle it with holy water, salt, or whatever your beliefs suggest. Some people say to bring it to a church, even leaving it on the steps, allowing a priest to bless it. Why so much trouble over a Ouija Board? Think of the energy that was focused upon it. You opened a gateway into the astral plane, and those energies - both good and bad - can remain inside the board, which can also leave the portal open.

Hopefully these tips help those of you just starting out, or even those that have used Ouija Boards in the past.

Good tips and some I wasn't aware of . My bf wants to use one and I used one in the past but had a bad experience and was addicted to it and I heard voices from the board but I was starting out and didn't know I had psychic abilities.
