OUIJA: Ouija boards
(pronounced wee-ja) are used as a method to contact the spirit world using
the letters of the alphabet and a glass or planchette They are also known
as Talking Boards or Isis Boards. The word Ouija is taken from the French
word Oui meaning 'yes', and the German word Ja also meaning
'yes'.-
A board
with letters and numbers on which messages are spelled out
by unconsciously moving (with the fingers) a glass or planchette See also automatism.
Ouija (pronounced wee-juh or wee-jee) refers to the belief that one can receive messages during a séance by the use of a Ouija board (also called a talking board or spirit board) and planchette. The fingers of the participants are placed on the planchette which then moves about a board covered with numbers, letters and symbols so as to spell out messages. (Wikepedia)
OUIJA BOARD ADVICE
 Nobody
knows for certain how or where Ouija Boards originated. It is thought
that Ouija Boards may have been invented in Ancient Egypt or Ancient
Greece and spread through Europe during Medieval times.. In the late 19th
Century Ouija was marketed as a game by Parker Brothers and became widespread.
In the hands of a properly trained medium a Ouija board has been shown
to be a useful tool for spirit communication but in the hands of an amateur
it can be very frightening.
There are instances of successful
communication within Spiritualist circles and catalogued by the Society
of Psychical research. For example, one of the most important experiments
to prove life after death was a case called the 'Cross Correspondence'.
In 1904 a medium called Mrs
Verall 'received' a script containing the words 'record the bits and when
fitted together they will make the whole'. Soon afterward three other
mediums from
around the world received communications from the spirits of three dead
SPR researchers named Frederick Myres, Henry Sidgwick and Edmund Gurney.
When the fragments of information received via the mediums was brought
together over a period of four years it was found to give a detailed message
that took them to the tomb of the Medicis in the church of San Lorenzo
in Florence.
Some of the verifiable information
received in the case came via the Ouija board.
Sceptic believe that people
using the Ouija board either consciously or unconsciously select
what is read. The English scientist Michael Faraday call this the ideomotor
effect. To prove this is at work when people use the Ouija board,
sceptics suggest that the Ouija board participants are blindfolded
and a neutral person should then take notes. If real spirits are present
then they would 'see' the letters and be able to spell out messages. Usually,
the results are unintelligible nonsense.It can of course be argued that
the human perceptions are needed in any form of spirit communication and
their dismissal of this phenomena does not explain why some people get
verifiable evidence of survival.
 I believe that Ouija boards
tap mental energy that manifests in such a way that it is able to influence
the movement of the glass. (Parapsychologists call this psychokinisis
or PK) However in my opinion the energy being used is of such a low level
that the participants own anxieties and fears can influence the results.
Often people play the game just for fun or to scare themselves and inevitably
the results are upsetting when real information does come through. The
participants may also create what psychics
call 'mind forms' that appear to be like spirits but are in fact their
own energies that have taken an independent form. The Tibetans called
these spirits 'Tulpas'.
Most importantly, there is
no control over the energies being manifested while using a Ouija board.
The participants are completely unprotected. If spirits do get involved
then sometimes they can be mischievous or bad spirits. It is like opening
your house to the street for a party and inviting everyone to attend.
Eventually things will get out of hand.
I have worked with Ouija
boards and received some useful communications. In the hands of a
properly trained medium they are safe. However they are also clumsy and
a very draining way to work with the spirit. There are far safer and more
effective ways to make a communication.
So my advice about Ouija
Boards and Planchettes:
Throw them away.
