First of all Ouija boards I thought was spelled Wedgies boards, boy was I wrong in the spelling department.
These boards also go by the names talking board, channeling boards, witch boards and spirit boards. Psychograph was early ancestors of Ouija boards. They were also known as dial plates and spirit boards.
These boards are register trade mark for Parker Brothers William Fuld Talking board set.
Ouija came out roughly in 1890. There are a handle full that date back to 1850. There are roughly hundreds or thousands of these boards out there in circulation all various kinds. You can find really old Ouija at antique stores, flea markets, auctions places or site and e-bay or auctions on-line.
Ouija boards are called witch board because these boards have a reputation of conjuring spirits and foretelling the future. Some talking board’s manufacturers added witches to their design starting in the early 1900
Some of readers may be wondering if you need special training to use an Ouija board. The answer yes as long as you read the instructions on the box that comes with the board. Then if that is not enough there are websites that can help you understand the directions like www.museumoftalkingboards.com, www.witchboard.com, www.castleofspirits.com, www.crystalinks.com, and www.allabouttheoccult.org/ouija-board.htm.
There are options of 1 player to many people. Some of you may have read or heard somewhere there is a proper ritual to open and close the boards. A special ritual needed to avoid demonic influences this is a personal decision to follow this. New Agers believe that proper protocol when channeling a spirit is the same whether working alone or with the aid of instrument. Consequently, a session with Ouija board should always begin and end with a group of correct behaviors intended to strengthen one psychically and to protect against an unfriendly entities.
Many readers may wonder what the sun, moon, and people in the corners of the Ouija boards means? Traditionally the sun originally designed as full moon, means: Yes or conditions are favorable. The waxing crescent moon with single star, the evening star , planet Venus also known as represents enlightenment: means No or conditions are unfavorable. The people in the lower corners do not mean much of anything and are just part of the design. If the planchette (message indicator marker) French word for little plank, cycles repeatedly to the sun, moon, and the people below it means the board is not cooperating. Try again later. Good Bye on the board means you need to stop your session because no one is listening. Remember Ouija boards do not work for everyone. Many people do not understand why it works for some and not others.
Proper pronunciation of the word Ouija We-ja but you may also use the more colloquial we-je.
Proceed with caution on these boards especailly when young teenagers want to play because if they get a spirit into the house and the spirits does not leave it may stay for good. Remember some spirits are quite evil.

I have had my fair share over the years of the board(good and bad) and each one has been different.Its best to not use then if you arent prepared due to the spirits in them dont always tell the truth.And then the trouble starts,My ex hubby and i found out the hard way.I burned all mine including one from the 1940s-1950s Im pretty sure.It wasnt acting right(negative feelings) and I wasnt taking the chance to accidently open a porthole I couldnt close so esily..So while its best to not use them at all,just do what it takes to be protected if you insist on using them.From experience and if you have this gift and if you are buying a new one….place your hand you use more on over(or on top of the unopened box.If you feel a heat,its not a good board.If you feel nothing or a little bit of a cold spot of energy,I found out these were the safer ones to use if you insist on buying one.It may not work for everyone but it has worked for me for 22 years in my faith.Great article and unfortunatly not everyone protects themselves using these and invites things into their dwelling they dont want or need.Sorry for the length of this.

My apologies…but forgot this.The stores and some people want to regard the board as a game but its far from it.This board is not that and can be very dangerous if you dont know what you are doing.My youngest daughter found out and Im not so sure on how to help her fix what she did by not being prepared.But above all,dont use it around children.My grandchildren has been hurt by my daughters/their mothers stupidity there.

I have only tried spirit of the glass and nothing more. Certainly spirits are quite naughty if you’re on the wrong side. These contraptions certainly opens a portal which you may not control. There should be spiritual training say for example strengthening ones aura/body shield before using this. I believe playing with it is not a good idea. Spirits are not toys and it depends who’s playing who. Thanks for sharing, Lee.

I like the video. Like they say there are always two sides to a coin, in this case the skeptic or believer. Although from the stories I have read some of the skeptics procedures may get them into trouble.
