Moon is in Pisces today, so I thought I would talk about this, and see what you all have to say about your own experiences.

I used to think the Ouija board was just a joke or something for fun. In high school, after my mother died, the Ouija board would occasionally come out at slumber parties. It seemed inevitable that my mother, or someone posing as my mother, would come through.

So this was borderline fun and borderline creepy/inappropriate to me. It got to the point where I would just leave the room when someone hauled a Ouija board out. I definitely didn't want to be manipulated into a theatrical display of emotion.

In college I had some Turkish roomates who would make a "Ouija board" out of slips of paper and shot glass. One night they were tinkering with this when the shot glass flew across the table and smashed on the ground.

I thought it was funny, I thought they had made it happen on purpose for drama, but they insisted that they didn't.

One of my roommates was so spooked, she sought out a Native American healer and brought him back to our apartment, looking for an explanation. He said it was full of evil spirits and came back with sage and some feathers to hang over the doorways. He did some ceremony and then they went out to a cemetery to bury something (duplicate paper Ouija board, maybe?)

It wasn't a month after that they my roommates and I, and an old friend of mine, all got into a big, painful argument, and the apartment went deserted with dirty dishes even in the sink for weeks on end. Nobody wanted to be there at all.

In retrospect, I wonder if there really were evil spirits there all along??

I wonder if the Ouija board was the portal, in the first place?

'Would be interested to hear your opinions/experiences with the Ouija board.

Loathe them~

Years ago, my daughters and I got out the darn thing and tried to talk to their recently departed dad.

Yea, the whole sheebang, flickering candles with no wind, the planchette moving on its own..and this peksy spirit kept coming through wanting all of the attention.

When I moved out of that house I left it there, hidden way back in the attic.

I debated on burning it, but not knowing what I might release I just burried it, neath a bunch of insulation.

Supposedly the real story of The Exorcist was from somebody playing with one.

ewwwww, do not like them at all!

I'm on the fence about whether or not I believe in them, but they creep me out. Even if they don't work/if the messages sent through them are not true, I don't believe in taking a chance with them. Not worth the risk.

Our bed would move in our old house. Not over time, not gradually - it would forcefully shift as if being pushed or pulled and then stop suddenly at the same spot. And not consistently as if the floor was warped or tilted (as I explained it to myself at first) but sporadically including once when it moved, I pulled it back, it moved again, I pulled again, and then it "pulled against me" as I pulled it. It moved a few times a week, sometimes in clusters with long breaks in between.

We had some serious plumbing issues. My husband crawled under the house to investigate and found (I kid you not) an old Ouija board directly underneath where our bed was. After he took it out and threw it away, our bed never moved again.

OMG mockingbird!!!

And I'm sorry that turned out badly for you and your daughter, hippichick.

So maybe this is real? Even after my weird experiences, I am kind of skeptical.

Recently I was watching this episode of Long Island Medium... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x98VSRP3TfE&feature=relmfu

and her reaction at being around a Ouija board (starting at 16:30) got me thinking.

Wanted to hear more stories and opinions...

I've heard some interesting stories about them. I think the most intriguing one was where this one guy was brilliant with the board so my friend decided to try tricking him and had him call someone he knew to be alive and that the guy with the Ouija never met. Thing was, the board used the living guy's expressions and commented on things that only he would know and my friend was spooked by that.

The next day my friend called his friend to see if he was still alive, and after that he told him about the Ouija board. The guy who got "ouijied" (or whatever you'd call it) had no memory or even weird dreams related to it...but asked that they not do that anymore.

If you dont know how to handle it,dont play with it.The spirits that come out from them also lie alot just to keep you engagaged in conversation with them.They also come out in disguise of your deceased ones.Dont leave in the middle of the conversation,they tend to get very angry if you do so.

Do you think there is a difference between the board & other divination methods (tarot/runes/pendulum)? Also would a homemade spirit board be just as dangerous?

I bought a board a few years ago, and it did answer my questions. But I had a weird feeling about it, and ended up throwing it away. Nothing strange happened, I got rid of it and that was that. I've heard that sometimes the board keeps coming back if you try to banish it.

It is simply a tool like any other, a hammer can kill someone, our help you build a home

Would fear of the hammer cause you to sleep on the ground?

Technically, things like Tarot and runes reflect a more spiritual reality much like astrology (and there are correspondences between them, that is, various tarot cards are represented by various planets & signs) which is to say it's more of a mirror of things yet to be (because things that come to be exist in the spiritual realm first and astrology & tarot can give a sneak peek at what's manifesting). Of course it's best to meditate and all that before you use them but that's to attune yourself to your higher power or spiritual levels of existence, not channel a spirit.

Pendulum is iffy, my experience with it was it was a tool to talk with the subconscious mind but I've heard of them being used for spirit communications, too.

The Ouija...whatever it actually is...in theory is meant to channel spirits rather than reflecting a higher a reality as tarot & astrology, that is it's an actual invitation to consciousnesses that are not your own to work through you. So I'd have to say there is a big difference (and doesn't matter if it's homemade or what).

As to if the Ouija board is bad I'd guess that's more dependent on the person using it (or possibly the astral atmosphere of the place...I'm not scared of Ouija boards but even I wouldn't dare try using one at Auschwitz, for example, or even a place infamous for its pollution and/or despair). I expect people pure of heart would probably have a safe experience but other less pure would probably tap beings or "programs of the Collective Unconscious" that are also less than pure. I imagine the reason so many have negative experiences with them are because they're negative people and like attracts like and/or they're looking to have some fun and draw in spirits (or whatever) who are more than willing to play...and that can include being scary (especially if those playing with the board WANT, at some level, to be scared).

OTOH, maybe it's much more simple than that...think of the internet, LOTS of idiots, trolls, and flamers and they seem to be the clear majority (IOW, their true selves when they don't have to worry about being punched in the face or losing their job, etc) so just surfing chat rooms and message boards means a high chance of meeting someone who only wants to make others feel bad. And maybe when many of these people die they remain the same sad souls and thus are the most likely for someone using a board to make contact with...especially if such lowly spirits are the most likely to be hanging around rather than "moving on" in the first place.

I personally don't mess with any of that stuff. I don't use predictive astrology, crystals, runes, tarot, or any of that stuff. My only interest in astrology really is synastry/personality analysis and how to get along better with people. I don't want to get involved in fortune-telling and stay away from that stuff now.

Good analogy.
I'll extend it:

You shouldn't use a 20-inch chainsaw unless you know what you're doing...unless you'd like to lose a leg.

I don't think whatever was in our house was bad, though, just a bit mischievous. Even before we found and pitched the board, he calmed down once we started to say "Hi," every now and then.

I could have done without the nightmares and haunting fears for years afterwards. That is why, for me at least.

Maybe they are imagined, but they were still strong. It`s not a game. Or if it is, in some case you may hazard your mental health.

I donīt force past life recalls for the same reason. If I am supposed to know, I will know without pressing the matter.

EDIT:
Great, now I feel crept out again. lol


EDIT 2:
Having said all that I think Iwas simply too young, immature and unprepared.

Really wanted one as a Christmas present as a kid, and my mother almost got me one, but my aunt Lydia thought it was a bad idea. She always thought they were harmful, and attracted the wrong kind of spirits.

Thank you, PixieJane.

I thought the board was more of our own higher reality/selves speaking, like the spirits were really reflecting our own unconscious. I can totally see the difference between that and actually contacting the spirits/conscious.

Agreed, Lei I don't think the board itself is negative, but if it does open a portal to possible negative energies, that is something to consider.

*Sigh* Did you read the responses here of those who have used it? Have you ever used one?

Most have the similar experience of being creeped out, and then shoving the thing into the attic, including myself.

How about you get one yourself and tinker around for a while...then come back here and post your findings.

The most useful Ouija board transmissions that I know of have been the "Michael Teachings," first outlined in the book "Messages From Michael," by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, in the 1980s. More books followed, and people started "channeling" more information from "Michael" themselves, sans Ouija boards.

Laura Knight-Jadczyk, known for channeling another supposed group entity known as the Cassiopaeans, has a more dubious, cult-like reputation at this point. The lady has issues. The initial information was indeed fascinating, though.

I read Kendra Wilkinson's biography called sliding into home.

one part of the book talks about a friend she had and they played with a ouija board, it said something about her friend dying and her friend died shortly after.

I would quote it from the book exactly but I loaned the book to my sister.

Makes sense. The bad experience I had took place in Gettysburg, a spooky place I have no affection for.

Hi Jovian, I knew someone was going to ask me if I haven't read any of the posts above mine!

I seem to have no 'hold' over the ouija board, played it for a giggle with friends at school on a makeshift board.

They were able to move the object across the board, but when I tried it, I got absolutely no response or movement from the 'spirit'...
