I've used Ouijas on numerous occasions, can't say I've had any negative experiences..I've dealt with some stupid people while using them thou. I don't think spirits can use this as a form of contact, I think everything that comes out on the board is purely subconscious... a product of the minds of the two people using it.

I have seen the marker move by itself, on a flat surface, with no hands anywhere near the board. I was not intoxicated in any form. I can not describe how that will scare the sh!t out of you.IP: Logged |

My friends were using the board and they swore it worked, that it wasn't them who was moving it. So I asked if I could join and one of them said their finger got burned so I better not join. when I did put my finger down on the marker, it wouldn't move. They said I should leave - dunno why??? Is that good or bad?IP: Logged |

I've had some good luck with them although they are not my first choice in divination tools. It is not always easy to trust the others on the board..but I think they have their place.

Any Magick you perform should be preceded with protection. Protection usually entails offering sincere respect (Love) to that which you deem deserves it (preferably as much of the universe as you can fathom at once) and physically enacting some form of externalization of will - Prayer, bordering circle, candles etc. Further, it's important that in your externalization of will, in these matters, that your intentions be very clear - to your self especially.If you are expecting to interact with entities not currently bound by the physical as we know it; it is strongly suggested that you protect yourself as diligently as possible. Because – There are those who will take advantage of the week or ignorant – Sending a child from suburbia to an inner city drug store on foot where there is known gang activity in the middle of the night holds it’s share of dangers because of those who like to prey on the innocent and the undeveloped. As you mature, you learn to avoid that area of town, unless you have to go there. Some will do there best to avoid consideration of that area of town their entire lives. In other words – There is a time for Magick, it is a special gift. We all perform a specialized form of it to one degree or another. However, some types and degrees of Magick are best left to specialists, highly trained or gifted folks – Just as drag racing, fighter jet flying and surgery are best left to their respective specialists. I do believe that innocent youth do have a special brand of protection innate to the system. How else could the ignorant learn? However, the especially vulgar assailants against the not quite so innocent ignorant can indeed result in negative events. The Ouija board is a tool of Magick that I suggest only to those who have a bit of experience and firm sense of cosmic self under their belt – Some of course are naturals at Magick and have a grasp of the fundamental laws. Just as in any Magick, if the results start going awry, stop what you are doing, clear the will from the area and seek peace. Don’t forget to close whatever it was you opened. I don’t outright dismiss the tool because I believe it’s important that we nurture the propagation of the transmission of positive energy between the planes wherever possible, even in specialized cases, and this tool can indeed do just this. It’s true the tool isn’t necessary – There are plenty of other ways – But it does work. Zola IP: Logged |

hi all had contact with a oiuja board - in a closed room, closed windows. this was mmmm, 1998?! forgot what i asked, pointer moved (can't for the life of me remember the question or the answer), felt breezy in the room - never saw the oiuja board again and I looked for it and have sense moved from that place. now that i think about it - since then, i have experienced some very strange and extremely painful occurrences in my personal life and i believe i attached some sort of negativity to me but don't believe i can't get it off of me. will never bother with one ever again. i was way too inexperienced with ANY of this stuff when i touched that board.

Hmm... although I have never used an Oujia board before, I have heard of them. I used to read somewhere that the entities you attract depends on your attitude towards using the board. Hence, if you are looking for sincere advice from higher beings, you should have the necessary spiritual protection and also keep in mind you are looking for a teacher... does this make sense? I'm not sure.. just an amateur.. IP: Logged |

I own a Ouija board, but cannot bring myself to use it. I got it for x-mas a few years ago, and it has since been sitting in a corner or my closet. The few times I do look at it and think about pulling it out, it just gives me the chills. I'm really afraid to use it. IP: Logged |

I have had good and bad experiences with the Ouija board. High level spirits rarely ever speak through the ouija board, usually only low level entities who have decided not to go to the other side for one reason or another. The Good Experience (kinda a long story) When I was a teenager I was dating a guy who had a friend, he once told his friend that he was depressed and his friend actually told him to kill himself. Since I heard about that everytime this particular friend of my boyfriends tried to start a friendly conversation with me, Id completly snub him, and I knew he felt really sad about it. A little while later, this friend of my boyfriends was brutally murdered. After he died I felt really bad for at least not giving him a chance and I woke up one night and started apologizing to him. Immediately I felt a presence. A while later my best friend and I were playing with the ouija board and the friend of my boyfriend came through. I didnt know 100% sure if it was really him at the time but later I told my b/f about the experience and he said it was him because certain phrases this guy said to me on the board were things this guy often said in real life I guess. Anyways, speaking to him on the ouija board helped me to settle the differences I had with this man when he was alive. He explained to me that he was a very depressed person and really did think death was better than life, and he told me that now he was dead, he still thought that. However he apologized for telling my b/f to kill himself because he said he shouldve never pushed his depressive agenda on others. That brought a lot of peace to me, and I also know that he crossed over not too long after that  The bad experience? My mom and I were playing with the ouija board and she asked the entity to prove himself. Right after she did that our Christmas tree knocked over! If you are going to play with the Ouija board, never ever ever ask an entity to prove himself or invite them to show themselves to you. If you heed that warning and ask for protection from your guides, Im sure you will be safe. IP: Logged |

This is not a toy! The troubles start with the persons "playing" with it. Leave it alone if it weirds you out. or you think it is a joke. You will get what you deserve. Your experiences for good or ill are dependent upon your own psyche whether conscious or unconscious. It starts with YOU. The first thing is it will mirror you and who you are before giving you a true line outward. Most folks think they are getting a line outward but are actually speaking to aspects of their own psyches or imaginations. It is a failsafe to keep the novice from annoying those on the "other side" with ridiculous questions and trivial petty nonsense.  PS. A keyboard or typewriter can be utilized exactly the same way. As can an adept at automatic writing.  ------------------ Age is a State of Mind.

I had a very very bad experience as a seventeen year old and have never touched one, had one in the house or been near one since. It's a very long story, one that I actually don't like to think or talk about.....we ended up needing to get a priest involved. Personally I believe these are very dangerous tools in the wrong or unwise, young, inexperienced hands. And personally I believe only mischevious/bad/evil/restless spirits can be reached. The whole vibe around these things is BAD and I am a spiritual person. I have told my 15 year old son he is never to bring one into this house. As an open mother I told him what happened to me. What they are all about.------------------ SCORPIO SUN 5TH HOUSE ASCENDANT CANCER CANCER MOON 12TH HOUSE IP: Logged |

BLESS YOU!<<< I am HIGHLY disappointed by the implications here by some folks who think IT is evil or bad, or that anyone using this tool are evil or bad. IT is not bad or evil. It all depends on the psyches of those using it and for what reasons. Yes there are all kinds of entities, some good, some disturbed. If you are not sure of yourself and your place in this universe....leave IT alone. If you are not ready to demand ID from entities....ESPECIALLY the ones who SEEM really really high and nice...usually the biggest liars and decievers...then stay away from IT! If you think that something saying.."I am your guide, your angel", blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda; as THEY say they are...kissing your butt and telling you all the lovely things you want to hear...and you are so freaking gullible you would not DARE ask them to prove themselves....but instead go OOOHHH Ahhhhhh...are you my higher guide? OOOhhh ahhhh...are you an angel? And it, or they say..Yes I am my child...trust me/us... And you are stupid and naive enough to believe them without proof... Well you get what you deserve. ALWAYS DEMAND proof! Otherwise leave this Tool alone! You are Not ready! You will only help promote the negative attitudes about it because you were messing with a medium you were not skilled at to use properly, nor self assured enough to use. If your "fearful side" or ANY aspect of it, is present... DO NOT use or try to use this tool! I would also advise you avoid ANY and ALL psychic tools! You are not ready for any of them. You WILL be a sucker for shysters and frauds in the psychic field. Owning a tool is not the same as being an adept at using it. Just because you buy a Tarot deck or a Crystal ball does not make you a psychic. Yet there are many folks who believe they are because they own such tools, but are as psychic as a rock. I would not tell folks how to use the Tarot, or say anything negative or positive about it. I am not an adept at that. But I am hearing here alot of ohhh spooky spooky Hollywood spiked, superstition spiked, fear of the unknown, oogum boogum nonsense. Then you folks stay off the boards; And STOP blaming the TOOL for your troubles with it. IT IS A TOOL. Misuse it and be it on your own head! But IT is not evil. But fearful, naive, superstious folk best leave it alone. Ouija is only one form. Mirrors, and Tarot decks, anything can be misused. If it bothers you, of course you WILL get negative results! You go in with that attitude and You Will amplify Your Own Fears and You Will Cause the Trouble, NOT IT. It begins with the user. Good or ill, it is YOU who ultimately are responsible for what comes through. DO NOT BLAME THE TOOL! Rant over.  ------------------ Age is a State of Mind.

PLEASE folks do not refer to them in that negative way! Murder victims, drownings and so forth, VERY VERY OFTEN get stuck in a repeating loop and cannot get free. This CAN happen to anyone! EVEN ANY OF YOU FOLKS! Being stuck due to a traumatic death does NOT make one a Low Level Entity! Geez! How cruel an assumption! How uncompassionate! I have solved murders this way. The information can be VERY on the mark! I am still amazed at the wonder of it all!  QUOTE: or tricksters who pretend to help and etc. >>>AHHH YES!!!!!! There are those who pose as sweet little children and Angels, fairy, etcetera. Or grandma or someone you would trust. Often very telepathic, they Will Read Easily a gullible naive mind; and of course they will be exactly what you believe, because "YOU" yourself TOLD them! Many a cult has begun in this fashion without the use of a board. All that is lovely is NOT always what it appears to be. Also you could be "talking" to other persons in body, using a board and you scare the willies out of each other. Yes...the board works between living folks too. Your own telekinetic abilities usually latent and or dormant can amplify as the result of "group fear energy" and it is YOU and your fearful cohorts who are doing all the "manifesting and moving of objects". As to burning boards,...while many early boards were wood, later boards are made of non flammable materials and flame resistant materials. I am really surprised so very few folk realize that factoid. And some of the more plastic based boards will get very heavy with static electricity...and the planchete can move on its own. One can even get "electric" shocks. Some of the older ones were not poly coated and in humid weather would get sticky. The planchete can then cling to the board when it is turned upside down. Another little know phenomenom is a stickiness caused by ectoplasm. But few of you will encounter that. QUOTE: And when dabbling in something such as a ouija board it is like opening a door to the unseen world, some people do not know how to shut the door. The spirit entities can then come and go at will, be they good or dark and influence one's environment seen or unseen for better or worse. >>>SO TRUE! If one does not know what they are doing..DO NOT begin! This goes for Pendulum and Portal work also! NOVICES leave it alone! You are either born a natural or not. If you cannot do this work Without the TOOL, then do NOT use the tool! The tool is for extra confirmation and honing of messages, but best if elemental/natural talent involved.  QUOTE: They turned down the lights, lit some candles . >>>>THAT is one of the dumbest things to do! ONLY an adept should ever pull that stunt! Can we say.."moths to a flame?" FireMeetsWater  Absolutely lovely example! Many folks are "stuck"...they can be helped by way of using this tool to find them and find out what they need. THANK YOU!  IP: Logged |

I have owned and used ouija boards over the past 30 years, and even made my own...but always felt that what I was doing was somehow dangerous. I participated in a "table-tipping" session around the same time I was last using a ouija board and had a pretty scary series of incidents happen, although I don't know which activity caused them. I am, nonetheless, still attracted to them and even have visited sites about them, after having burned mine or thrown into trash.... Automatic writing is another activity I engage in periodically, though I admit nothing of much value comes through... I have always gotten "JesuslovesyouJesuslovesyou" repeatedly--and have no idea whether it comes from my own girlhood in Baptist Church, or perhaps is another intelligence. I usually stop the activity. But...ouija boards have some allure to me, because of the Jane Roberts "Seth" books...

That you feel they are dangerous and had a Baptist upbringing(I did too) does explain the Jesus business. It is most likely coming from your own psyche. Next time(yes even though it is most likely an aspect of yourself)say to it, "thank you, good bye" and flip the planchette over, then say, "clear board", and then say "clear channel". It should work better after that. But if you get nonsense or scary stuff..STOP.Say "close" and flip planchette over and put it all away. ALWAYS CLOSE! ALWAYS! Never store a planchette with the board. I have used them for nearly 42 years. I do not use the rectangular style associated with ouija. That style has been abused too often and treated as a joke or parlor game and as idle amusement. Nice to hear of another person long aquainted with this marvelous tool.  But if you have fear or feel creepy about them... I personally would say it is not good for you to use them. Your mind must be clear and your emotions and desires and fears kept in check when using these tools.  ------------------ Age is a State of Mind.

Me and my cousins would go to the stoy store and buy it and play it. We were young. Maybe like 10 years old. We had good and scary things happen.
I contacted my father.
Sometimes it claimed to be the Devil. There were nights when something did end up roaming around the house. We could feel it and it was scary.
Don't be rude. You have the power to tell them to go away. I once played with a male friend and he started being rude to the spirit.
It started getting mad.
That's the last time I let him play it.
My friend once was playing and her dumb idiot friends started holding statues of Jesus and the spirit got mad. It kept spelling out rapidly STOP.
They all felt scared and started to run except for my friend.
She couldn't move her feet and wanted to run but couldn't. She yeleld stop wait to her friends but when she did an evil man's voice came out. She was terrified.
Doesn't even like to hear anyone mentioned what happened.

The folks one contact on the boards get very upset if no one treats them respectfully or as the real folks they are. Many have something important to say or just want to talk. Others need help. But then stupid living folk get on there and scream and joke and are rude. How would ANYONE feel if they were not in body and wanted to talk to the living, important stuff or just chit chat....only to have people act stupid? Then there are the ones I call juvenile delinquents. They are on the "other side as folks call the unbodied world...but are foolish and smart as$es! Many just like regular common idiots and morons in the bodied world....just enjoy razzing folks and generally love being jerks. As$shole when alive, as$hole when dead. Dying does not automatically cause spiritual evolvement. Many enities think it fun to scare folks and lie to them. Worse are the holier than thou pretending to be higher guides and angels. Man do they love suckering the gullible. You were kids. The Devil bit was most likely one of those jerks messing with you guys. One note. A spirit/ghost...whatever you want to call them...cannot hurt you. You must be a willing party on some level for that. You do it essentially to yourself. ------------------ Age is a State of Mind.

Fayte, thanks again for replying....you also replied to a previous item I posted... Yes, I use all kinds of tools with different results. The ouija is very functional... don't have one right now...I sometimes just draw impromptu letters on papers and use a pendulum... I use so many things that it's hard to tell what has caused some of the freaky things I've experienced... I used to listen to subliminal tapes and drop off to sleep...one night I woke up and I was being pulled to the end of the bed--I opened my eyes (I'm a very light sleeper) and looked at the tapedeck, still rolling and playing subliminal music. I didn't feel threatened in any way--just amazed that this was happening. My feet ended up hanging off the bed, I saw nothing at all. I used to always leave the lights on in my hotel rooms when I was sleeping....I knew this was REALLY happening. I stopped using subliminal tapes while sleeping...it occurred to me that I could have a "not-so-friendly" visitor, and didn't like the idea... Most of my experiences have been uplifting and energizing, but a few have been "unsettling"... I have always been sensitive to different energies, and lose no time clearing myself and my environments after an encounter. I'm sooooooo curious, so I'm bound to have a few odd experiences. Can't stay away from it...I always say a prayer for protection, and never do any trance work until I'm calm and even. I have travelled a lot, and done a lot of "looking around"... taking a tape recorder to the cemetery to try to capture voices, that sort of thing....The Spirit World interests me very much... ------------------ trishsings IP: Logged |
