melonysatario I HATE HATE HATE HATE HHATE HATE HATE OUIJA BOARDS! BURN SAGE SAY IN THE NAME OF THE GODDESS I SHUT THIS DOOR TO THE ASTRAL PLANE FROM THIS BOARD. POPCORN POPCORN POPCORN (SERIOUSLY NOT EVEN KIDDING) ASTRALLY DESTROY THE DOOR. LAUGH OMG AHHHHHHHHH NOTHING GOOD CAN COME OF A OUIJA BOARD! Please, refrain from using all caps. It's annoying an it irritates people. If you're wanting to make something more noticeable then use bold, italics, or underline. Also, where did you get that "burn sage say in the name of the goddess...astrally destroy the door" thing from?

Removal of an Ouija board can be sticky I would suggest burning it then using what every purification ritual you or they feel comfortable with over the ashes just for insurance. You can also bury the ashes were ever you want or you can spread them in a body of water.

My close friend is being an arrogant fool, and will not listen to my warnings against the Ouija board. Help!

I think you mean "ignorant." I reserve my arrogance for things that I do understand.
Granted, I'm a far out of practice wiccan with next to no spiritual connection, but even so, I'm devoutly cautious. I agree largely with what was said about giving things power, but then again, I'm not an entirely large spiritual believer. I do believe if you give something enough thought, or put a lot of stock or in this case, energy, into an object or even into a belief it can turn into a dangerous obsession.
I'm not saying that playing with a witch board is harmless fun, because as accounted, it can turn someone's world upside down, though in my opinion it is of their own psychological construct, not some mysticism called forth from the beyond.
From the Four Winds let us be blessed,

No, I meant arrogant...but perhaps I was wrong. Let us see, then.
But I am glad to see you here, Lion. Please stay awhile, and learn with us.

i must say this because the common misconception pisses me off
OUIJA BOARDS ARE NOT DANGEROUS UNLESS YOU DONT PROTECT YOURSELF
THEY CANT BRING EVIL "SPIRITS" UNLESS YOU LET THEM THROUGH
THEY ARE NOT TOOLS OF "EVIL" UNLESS YOU USE THEM AS SUCH
my goddess! you call yourselves witches but you dont realize that contacting spirits is a big part of wicca!
cast a circle before using a Ouija board! cast out any negativity
but dont dismiss one of the more powerful wiccan tools because of some stupid movies!
contacting spirits is very helpful!
and if you dont have an affinity for it through other means then you need some way to contact them!
alright then!
now if you have called up something "bad" i suggest binding the board
then bury it off your property woods works( but leave milk/honey for the fey so they dont get angry for your disturbing them ^_^)
and you'd be brain-missing not to listen

Choir-Angel My goodness. O.O I wouldn't even touch one. Those things freak me out. Seriously. =/ *shivers* Took the words right out of my mouth, i wouldn't know how to dispose of one properly simply because i would refuse to touch them! surprised So my best guess is burn it and let the ashes go.

Some people are so afraid do die
I would rather not take a chance, I am not ready to handle with things like that and i have never heard anything good about the boards. If you are very... prepared... and you know what your doing, i suppose it is fine, but then again, a person who works at a dangerous factory on drugs can live, if they know what they are doing, but almost always things like that end up for the wost... crying no one likes it, but it is true.

Everyone who knows me knows that I'm a huge believer in the power of belief. But even so, that's just foolish. "Unless you let them through." Pfft. Tell me, Luna-wa, have you ever tried to keep a malevolent spirit at bay? What about two or three at once? Or more? When you use a Ouija board, you invest power in it. After that, you only have so much control over it. The Ouija board seems to act like a beacon for spirits, luring them in like the smell of tuna brings hungry cats. Sometimes merely "protecting yourself"--invoking a god/dess, creating a shield, etcetera--is not enough. Ouija boards are at best powerful divination tools, and at worst dangerous toys. As I related earlier in the thread, I find Ouija to be like fire. Useful for some things, perhaps, but dangerous to many other things in the wrong hands. Love and Vale, -LD

It can be for some people, maybe even a majority- but it isn't set in stone anywhere that to be Wiccan you have to contact spirits daily/weekly or at all. In my opinion Ouija boards are dangerous in the hands of most people. Maybe you feel or are strong enough to use one as a tool. But as Leavaros said; have you ever tried to control a malevolent spirit? Or 2+? Or what if you succeed in protecting yourself, and the spirits you call out from one end up attacking someone else? Using one just doesn't seem worth the risk to me. Do what ye will, but harm none.

Love and Vale, -LD yes! i have had to keep bad spirits away! i do it often for friends and other people who have an affinity for that stuff! one of my ex girlfriends was being haunted by a colonial spirit trying to get her to kill herself, I banished it. i was being bothered by a wraith, once again i banished it, not to mention the time i had to help a friend banish 3 spirits in her home it was trying but i did it! i dont claim to be amazing but i DO work with spirits alot yes the boards can be powerful but a circle of salt or rope or even an unbroken circle of witches can be much more powerful! use quartz! or sage! or white candles or rope to say that one cannot protect oneself from all evils is to consider yourself weak and yes they are unpredictable IF you are not careful and i do think they should not be sold the to public, its just stupid Kareena80 I disagree; contacting spirits is NOT "a big part of wicca".

Luna-wa says :
to contact the spirits is to pray, i do not mean to say that using a board is the only method but it is the most common, i use my tarot cards to connect with spirits, that and im a natural medium of them, if they make contact with me. like i said before, it helps gain insight and closure.
yes the boards are dangerous and i do think they should not be manufactured like they are but to dismiss them as plain evil is to be closed minded. thats like saying fire is evil because if not used properly it can burn and ruin lives, but you dont stop using fire do you? and like i wrote above, yes! i have held back that many spirits! its hard but not impossible. and truly if you cant protect yourself then you really need to study more, something cant hurt you unless you let it. say something is evil and give it power, command that you are stronger and you will be. power of sheer will.
and you'd be brain-missing not to listen

I've never heard of anything good coming from the use of a Ouija board. They dont even seem very useful to me, more like a tool for dabblers rather than an actual TOOL.
Uselessness+Dangerous-ness= not a very good idea.
RESEARCH is our friend. If you have a friend with a desire to mess with a Ouija board, print up some testimonials and warnings for them. Show them what they are getting themselves into and pray that the information you give them will quench their desire to mess around. If that doesnt work, tackle them and tie them up, then lecture the hell out of them! =)
ABSOLUTE PROOF OUIJA BOARDS ARE BAD:
The word "Ouija" is just so damn hard to type correctly!

I think you mean "sheer power of will" or "sheer willpower". I would be quick to remind you that sheer willpower isn't going to stop a wildfire, or a twister, and similarly, I doubt it will stop any spirits who really want to have a go at you.
Even so, you're the second person who has told me--and I agree with--that communing with spirits is [like] praying. Funny how there is a kernel of truth to that--what is considered unholy in one church is commonplace in the next.
Not to say that banishing spirits is altogether a bad thing--far from it, I think--but it isn't very...diplomatic. Do you use spirits and dispose of them? Do you treat them with open hospitality or open hostility? I must wonder. One can be very strong, but have little power, and one can be very powerful and have little wisdom.
I try not to use tools that will end with an exorcism.
Love and Vale,
~Leavaros Dapple
