Using a Ouija Board (or magic board) has become a controversial subject. Some
people regard them as 'evil' yet they continue to be sold in shops
alongside Scrabble and Monopoly as a game. This is where many of the problems begin.

The name 'ouija' comes from a combination of the French and German words
for 'yes' and was a popular form of entertainment last century when there
was a resurgence of interest in spiritualism.

Just because a person has 'passed over', they do not suddenly become an angelic
being. Most people are still much the same as they were in life,
and continue to learn and grow spiritually at different rates.
The
astral level they go to is proportionate to the density of various astral
matter in their astral bodies and as they learn they shed the more dense
particles and will go naturally to higher realms as they are ready. There
are also other beings on the astral level who are non-human. This is whole
different subject in itself, which I will cover in more detail in another article.

The important point to remember here is Like attracts Like.
Ouija boards do work, but the sort of beings you are likely
to attract is directly related to the level of spiritual development of the
participants and their intent. Also, the level of preparation and location has to be taken into account.

Ouija boards are a form of channeling. The more variation in
the development and intent of the participants, the more varied the results.

Some examples are: A group of drunk friends decide to have a seance in a
haunted house 'to see if anything happens'. One cannot hope to attract a
high level being through this sort of exercise. Obviously if the house is
haunted, there are earth-bound spirits who usually died in sudden or tragic
circumstances present. They may be just sad or confused, or they may be
downright malicious. They may even continue to be attracted to one or more
of the participants because after all, they were invited.

This sort of seance should never be done.

Another example is: The home seance. A group of friends with an interest in the
supernatural having a 'harmless game'. Again the same dangers as above
could present themselves, although the results are more likely to be
trivial like the questions usually asked. This type of gathering usually
brings a similar gathering from the other side who all want to have a go.
There may be deceased relatives, but more often it is mischief makers who will tell you anything, and much testing of the board by
various entities. Occasionally a higher teacher or
guide may get through, though it is difficult in these circumstances. The
participants usually want to ask questions about their love life and future
lotto wins and treat the whole thing as a bit of fun - as do the entities attending.

This type of seance can be harmless, but nothing is guaranteed.
If the participants follow some basic guidelines
(listed below) the chances for a positive experience will be greatly enhanced.

Remember a Ouija board is just a tool for contact which relies on no practice,
learning or spiritual development to make it work. It's like dialling a
random telephone exchange and hoping for the best. However, with practice,
learning and spiritual development the chances of getting through to the right person are greatly increased.

BASIC GUIDELINES FOR USING A OUIJA BOARD

Location:
Do NOT choose a place where you suspect earthbound entities are gathered, or
places which will generate fear in the participants, ie: graveyards,
haunted houses, sites of tragedy.
Choose a place that feels good - has the right vibrations, a home where
loving people live, or a room usually devoted to learning and meditation.

Time:
Nighttime is usually better for these things because of the reduced amount of
electrical activity and interferrence in the atmosphere. As with most
things, some days are better than others for various reasons. If you
understand astrology you may wish to choose a time that is more
complimentary to the sort of person you are, and the questions you will be
asking. If you check the Table of Correspondences you may choose a certain
hour of a certain day that will suit your purpose better.

People:
A chain is only as strong as its' weakest link. If you have 3 people of
positive intention and one negative, it will lessen the chances for
positive results for the others. While the board will still work with
skeptics in the room, their negativity will not help.

Protection:
This is very important. Don't just repeat a few words, visualise it.
Start with a meditation where you concentrate on:
- cleansing your own body, aura and chakras with a visualisation of silver rain.
- filling your bodies with white light and extend this to engulf the room you are in, and beyond if you can.
- call upon your guides to protect you and ask them to allow only information and entities through for your highest good.

Accessories:
By all means enhance your seance with accessories. They will add to the
atmosphere in more ways than one! Some gentle new age music in the background,
candles and incense will help. If you don't have any preferences,
use something like sandalwood or patchouli to help protect you.

Ultimately you have to be the judge of the information you receive. To believe
everything that comes through on the board just because it's from the other
side is extremely gullible, and is like believing everything that you read
in the newspaper or see on TV. If your intuition tells you there's
something wrong, there probably is. If the information you're getting seems
new to you, compare it with other channeled material and see if you're comfortable with it.

Always thank the entities who come to talk with you. When you've finished your
session, thank all the gathered entities and ask them to go in peace back
to where they have come from. Then cleanse the room again with white light.

Used properly the Ouija Board can be a positive tool to making new friends and
gathering information. However, you should not just stop there and rely on
the board. Work on your own spiritual development and this will not only
enhance your use of the board, but may render it obselete - while at the same time improving your whole life.
