There are other ways to study the occult other than using an ouiga board. I have no problem with the board itself, because it is just that, a board. But I urge you to use caution in your studies. I know I am being a downer here, but when you invite spirits and give them a channel, you don't have control over who or what you get. They will feed off of your energy so tread carefully my friend.

Be careful what you ask for and invite in. Some people have to learn the hard way.

I just read this entire thread and it was really interesting. Its been a while since any activity in this thread. I was wondering if you had any updates on your occult studies or experiences with the ouija board? Thanks

I know how to open the seance, the do's and dont's, e.c.t.

Do you know how to close the seance and send them back?

If not, they are probably not revealing themselves so they get to stay.

They don't like where they come from.

I haven't read the entire thread, so if this has already been mentioned I apologize. Quija boards by themselves are harmless but using the board to try to contact deceased individuals is always a bad idea. I speak from painful, personal experience and the experience of numerous others when I say this. Here is why: The Quija board can not operate by itself, it requires the participation of at least two living, breathing persons to allow the Oracle or Planchetter to move around the board which means that you are invting the dead and spiritual forces much darker to use yourselves, to send their energy through your body, to move the planchette.

This can be and very often is very dangerous. Many times the disincarnate spirits of the dead and even demons will use the Ouija as a means to get out of the place they are and into your home or apartment; as a previous poster noted, "They don't like it where they are." The use of a Quija board, even once can lead to months or even years of adverse spiritual activity, including poltergeist activity, demonic opression & posession. I have been studying and researching paranormal activity and events for several years and I can tell you with some authority that there are much safer and revealing ways to reach out to the Other Side and all of them are less potentially harmful or even deadly as the Quija Board.!

Some things that always concerned me...

If there's evil in this world looking to manipulate, surely it would actively seek us out? If it is satans intention to trick us, nor he or his followers seem very active in this regard. I've never had a satanist or occultist of any kind push any beliefs on me.

On the other hand I've had many-c-christstian do so. I find it repugnant and down right insulting when someone states that they will pray for me. Saying you will pray for someone because you disagree with their views, the concept itself, is a tool that christians use to bring people down, spiritually, whilst trying to elevate themselves...spiritually. A tool that christians are programmed to use against anyone who doesn't conform to their belief system.

It is the church that actively seeks to recruit...not the occult. People find and develop an interest in the occult usually on their own, through curiosity. People find the church through pressure...through idiots making remarks like "I'll pray for you", "you're lost", etc.

Personally, I believe that if there is a god or higher being he will not look for you, he will not seek you out or seek to pressure you into accepting him in your life, this isn't choice or free will. The beauty of finding and loving god is surely doing so through free will.

I doubt, if he/she exists, that he/she would be happy knowing that most people only really profess to give a damn because they were basically pressured into doing so...if there is a god, do people really think they can trick him/her into belieing they have an inherant, profound love for them despite the fact that it was programmed or pressured into them? Surely, god would know by which path you came to him? I'm not saying that spreading the word of god is wrong, but attacking people spiritually to bring them down and make them feel as if they're somehow spiritually sick is nothing short of disgusting.

If thee's a god he knows what is in your heart and in your soul, your relationship with him/her is a personal one, and if the intention is loving and good then it matters not the path you take.

Stop bashing people's beliefs...for a belief system that preaches tolerance,...to turn the other cheek, christianity often has a funny way of practising the values it preaches. Praying for someone against their will is not only intolerant, it's down right rude and insulting - it's a spiritual attack and one that has been quite effective for a long time.

When I was a teenager, my best friend. boyfriend at the time and I bought one. It worked and we played with it for hours.We did several test to assure it wasn't one person messing with the others. After that all three of us started having weird things happen to us. I really think we let something out just not sure what. It didn't do anything evil, just made it's prescience known. We got rid of the board and never played with one again. It was a very eye opening experience.

I would suggest you light incense during the ritual, it purifies the ambient. I sincerely hope you have only benevolent interests at your heart.

Blessings

I've never used one but from stories my family told me about them they can be dangerous.
However, I use different methods for getting in contact with spirits, such as invocation. Just keep in mind, it's good to have some sort of protection whenever getting into contact/ calling spirits to you, because you may just get hurt.
Although, I've never been hurt; I've nearly passed out from spirits/demons attempting to steal energy from me; at least that's what I thought it was trying to do.

I had a friend that passed away in November...possible suicide...I found out after her death that she had been dabbling with an ouija board by her husband...he went on further to say that she had asked it when she was going to die...either she didn't reveal the answer or he didn't wanna tell me...after the use of the board she did confide him that she was hearing voices...so if you continue to use please do so with caution...
