From my experiences, the ouija board is a center for energy. I've found out that it doesn't always have to be a speaker for those who haven't passed on, but I've read about some people who are very in tune to energies moving the (what's it called?) glass to what they want it to read... even from a far away distance. Anyone try this before? I would love to, but my mother forbids I bring one into the house.


As well she should. From everything I've heard about Ouija boards, they are at best very powerful, and at worst very dangerous. They are not toys for the "curious", they are tools for powerful, knowledgeable, dedicated witches with a great deal of experience with the occult.

I'm not going to tell you not to use one, but I will advise against it. Strongly. I don't get "feelings" too often, and I feel like an apprehensive cat whenever I look at one. They make my skin crawl.

Needless to say, I won't be using one any time soon.

Love and Vale,

thereis one thing you people need to learn
an Ouija board dose not contain any mystical power of its own. It only has power if you give it power, it is nothing but a tool to play with like a wand or a cystal ball. they are not evil, we just tend to use them for evil things and thats how they got there reputation. the Ouija board did not open a door to evil or summon a spirit, you did not it.
a preety wand you have that has been charged with power so it always works ((or says so on the tag)) that you baught, is just a fancy stick that someone put outside when the moon was full. its dosent have power of its oun, its not magicly charged, you are the one that gives it power nothing else just your energy.
so if you have a "evil" Ouija board that soposidy caused trouble, ITS NOT THE BOARD, its you and the energy you put into it. so if your Ouija is what you call "bad" its the negative energy you put into it and what you used it for that caused the problem nothing else, YOU, not the board.
In the Great Words of Granny Wetherwax "Every stick is a wand, every puddle is a crystal ball. It only has power if you give it to it."

you dont need flashy things and nothing has power of its oun ((unless its alive, Wich Ouija boards are not)) you have the power not the board or the wand. so if you have a problem that you started with a board getting rid of the board is not the problem and it wont fix the problem eather.

Edit by mod:people are narrow minded
you envest a lot of power in one object, then use it the wrong way just to get some thrills. then when your energy backfires and something bad happens you just blame it on the tool and then you think destroing the item is the perfect solution to make everything better, beacuse in your little mind its the objects fault you never did enything bad ((NOT, it was your missuse of your oun energy)), You fix the problem yourself destroying the Ouija board wont do enything exsept burning up the 20$ you spent on it. You contacted spirits not the board you just used the board to inturprate what you are doing beacuse you cant do it yourself.

Really now, that's just silly. The Ouija board is a tool just like any other. Like a knife, it has no power on its own, but once you wield it, you had better be careful how you do so, or someone will undoubtedly get hurt. A stick may just be a stick, but once you invest power into it, likewise, be careful with its usage.

The bottom line here is not to use it unless you know what you're doing, and the case requires it.

Hmm... but as to the problem of getting rid of it... sounds to me as though whatever your friends brought up is chacing after them. The board itself, I think, is insignificant at this point, but you may want to keep it, just as a reminder. You'll want next to preform some sort of "excorcism" on your friends, or they can themselves through meditation. There are plenty in this guild. (I've got two in my spellbook in the library that you may find useful)

Good luck and blessed be!

Wow... you actually let your boyfriend tell you what you can and can't do. I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but that's just really sad. I would never date someone like that and I don't get how anyone who actually has respect for themselves can let someone boss them around, I don't care how much you love the person.

Actually what I think they should do is make it hard for one to obtain an Oujia board. Maybe in strict an 18+ rule or something of the sort because no matter what we say we well forever have those immature selfish fools who believe that they can control whatever it is they wish. Thus it would bring harm to them and cause more problems then need be.

And I don't believe that her boyfriend is really telling her what she can and can't do. He's obviously protective of her and maybe he knows more about the Ouija board then she does. What I'm trying to get at is he probably doesn't fully control her he's only trying to protect her. I mean if you moved somewhere and a few miles down the road your city turned into the "getto" And lets say you would want to travel down that road in order to get to your destination quicker. Your partner would implore you not go down there and request that you take the more safe route because they wouldn't want you hurt. Either that, or if the crime rate was unbelievably high in that area he/she would forbid you to travel down there only in attempts to protect you.

Actually, I agree with the 18+ rule. A lot of younger kids use it just for giggles and don't know anything about it or the dangers that it can bring.

There's a difference in strictly telling (or forbidding) someone what to do and telling them that you don't like it or that you're uncomfortable with it. I'm an extremely independant person and I hate being told what to do. If my boyfriend ever told me that I couldn't do something or go somewhere, I'd be really pissed off and would probably do it anyway. But, if he were to tell me he didn't like it, didn't want me going somewhere and could give me a valid reason why, then I would respect that and not do something or not go somewhere.

No human has the right to tell (forbid) someone what to do or where they can and cannot go. It doesn't matter how protective they are of that person.

And besides, people learn from mistakes. How can they learn from them if they're not allowed to explore the things that they want to just because someone is trying to protect them? In the long run that can actually hurt the person, because they're not learning the things that they're suppose to be learning.

I understand what you're trying to see, but do you see where I'm coming from?

Yes I do, and I'm also an independent person and tend to get angry when someone tries to tell me what I can and cannot do but in certain situations would it be for the better if one would just listen to them? Hence with the Oujia board. I think common sense is mostly needed for such the case seeing how it has been passed down for how ever many decades that the Oujia board is dangerous.

And sometimes its better if one doesn't experience certain things at all. Such has learning the hard way by taking drugs or unprotected sex with multiple partners. Then again I'm against all of that so thats clearly just an opinion of mine but I think no teenager has the right to bare a child at age 15 nor 17. Just as no one should test Acid, Meth, or Heroin just to see how strongly it would effect them.

My apprentice use one every now and then when we have an question that we need answering... (there are so many lies in this world, some times other methods are more practical uses.) you know what they say, dead men tell no tales. He made it himself, but they are often findable in places like spencers anyways, I don't trust what I buy from corporations though.

I know what you mean... it just seems odd to try to get any serious otherworldly information when your tool glows in the dark and was stamped out of a machine in the Mattel Corp. factory. I can't help but imagine a bunch of spirits gathering together watching someone with one of these boards and laughing their astral heads off. "Hey, hey Joe, watch this. I am going to freak this kid out."

Should I be alarmed that a spirit told me via Ouija board that it wanted me dead? xd This was a while ago, though. Still somewhat alarming, but oh well. I think the worst is over with anyway. xp

I've heard from some sources that you should burn a board, and from others that you should never do this. I'm confused over that part.
Maybe if you need to dispose of a board you should through your element, since you have a stronger connection with that. So if you are a water element you should let water destroy the board. It would make more sense to me. Ultimately you want to exert more power of the board than the board holds over you, even if it is just psychological.

I personally don't use one, because I am always paranoid about starting something that I can A) Never finish or B) Get out of my control. Besides, I don't have any reason to use one. I'm not saying I never will, but it wouldn't happen unless I know exactly what I am doing, or am with someone I trust who does.

Otherwise, when I want to talk to some one who has past on, I just talk to them directly, sometimes I get a response. I do believe we are reincarnated, I also believe there is a 'lay over' period, that could be spent earthly or beyond the realm of mankind. I've seen some interesting things that made it impossible for me to completely dismiss the validity of ghosts or spirits. However, I suspect a lot of sightings are some projection of the energies of live people, and I think genuine hauntings are rarer than most people think. but those are just my beliefs.
