From Ambrosia Knight's personal Book of Shadows
I usually warn people against the use of these. If you are not an experienced practitioner with a good knowledge base of the Craft, don't make a Spirit Board.
Spirit Boards (a.k.a. Ouija Boards, Witch Boards, etc.) have been around for a very long time. They were invented so people could communicate with spirits. Hence, the name "Spirit Board."
Personally, I believe it's mind control. Your subconscious makes the indicator move. However, I have had some experiences that could not be explained. And to be honest, not all of the were good. So, if after my warning you still wish to make one of these, remember: NEVER USE IT ALONE! Always use it with a partner.
You will need:
a Wooden Cutting Board
1 Black Permanent Marker
A Large Bottle Cap
(Snapple would be good, not that I'm doing a promo...)
Using the pen, write all the follow in large lettering: YES (top left corner), NO (top right corner) the letters A - M (slightly above the middle area) N - Z (middle area under the other letters), GOOD BYE (at the bottom center).
Draw a Pentacle in the middle at the top between Yes and No. Pentacles are the symbol of protection.
On the bottle cap, draw a point. This will be used as your indicator.
Place the indicator in the center of the board and place your fingers on the bottle cap. Move the bottle cap over the entire board making a circle 8 gesture three times. Say this three times:
"I cleanse this board of all negativity."
Then, in a clockwise, circular direction (moving it three times again), say this three times:
"By the Power of Three
So Mote it Be"
The board is now ready to use.
Your fingers should now be lightly touching the indicator, almost barely touching it. State your question (without thinking of an answer) and patiently wait for the indicator to move. Could be anywhere from a couple of seconds to a few minutes. If the indicator doesn't move after 2 minutes or so, state the question again.
When you are finished with your session, place the indicator above GOOD BYE and say:
"My subconscious has answered my
questions.
It is now time to say good bye."
At this time, the indicator will move to good bye.
Many people do not know why Good Bye is written on a Spirit Board. It's there so the supposed "spirit" won't be wandering around your house long after you're done with your session. That is, if you believe that it's a spirit talking to you. It may just be your subconscious like I said. Either way, use the Good Bye with the above statement.
Helpful Tips
1. Be in a really positive mood before using the board. If you are negative in any way (sad, depressed, angry, etc.), don't use it. Also, don't be in a silly mood or get mad when the indicator isn't moving fast enough for you.
2. Believe that it's your mind moving the indicator, not a spirit. Since I started thinking this way, I haven't come across any problems.
3. Always use a partner.
4. If a problem does arise, just throw it away and you'll be fine. You won't have to call me to perform an exorcism for you. :)
I'm sure you may be wondering, "If this is so dangerous, why post it?" Well, I don't hide what I do and it's only dangerous if you have little to no understanding of it. I have used boards since I was 8 years old and I'm now in my 20's.
They have helped me to increase my mind power
and I wish the same for you, if you are inclined to use one.
