"OUIJA BOARD"

The Ouija Board, pronounced "Wee-Ja", the words in French and German for the English word "YES", is by far the most popular channeling tool ever marketed. It has been around since before recorded time, and still to this day is the most sought after tool of the medium in the world.

Despite the Ouija Board being commercialized, it is interesting to note that the board "game" as it is called by the manufacture PARKER BROTHERS, INC., is built in Salem, MA! Remember the Salem Witchcraft Trials? Same town. Coincidence? That is for you to decide. ":)

The Ouija will work, even if it is a hand built one using a piece of posterboard, with the letters, numbers, and the traditional "YES", "NO", and "GOODBYE" written on it in ink. It is a tool that is so popular, and yet so many do not know that they can make mistakes and that those mistakes could cause some minor very irritating problems in there life as a result.

Though fault lies partly through the manufacturer for not including a full detailed set of instructions on how to operate and close the board is given with the packaging, that is no excuse for people to "just use it" without first consulting several good books on the subject for the proper information. In part, when a person buys a firearm in this nation, little in the line of warnings, and explanations of the damage the weapon can cause is usually in the case the weapon comes in, but the person generally attends a gun safety class after purchasing the firearm for instructions, and correct teaching of how to handle this weapon, and so such a quest to learn about the Ouija should be sought before putting hands on into use. Finding good information on a Ouija is also not easy, everyone has an opinion on it. Some claim that "white magical powers" are needed to shield one from the evil, or that "rituals of healing" must be performed in order to protect the users. I've even heard of people sprinkling holy water on top of the board before using to cleans it from evil. All this does is ruin the surface of the Ouija. Everyone is entitled to a belief, and everyone may do as they wish when using a Ouija, no one is going to be able to be there to stop them, but, I have witnessed the Ouija used without any of the above practices in a safe, and very productive manner. It seems that there is a paranoia that evil spirits account for about 1 out of 3 near any one person at any one time. In my 20 years of working in the channeling area, I have been attacked by a spirit on about 4 occasions, and 2 of the 4 I had coming, I screwed up. I learned though, and did not make those mistakes again. There is a mass hysteria that "possession" is a real danger to be headed to at all times, that is will happen if your not careful. This I find to be at the least, a "scare tactic" implemented by some who think the Ouija is a "devil's tool", and by others that think running the Ouija takes a real "master spiritualist' who has ions of time, and book reading skills. Anyone can run a Ouija, and the chances of anyone being "possessed" are hundreds of times less then you being hit by lightning. The Catholic Church of America reported that in 1993, only 5 Church Authorized Exorcisms were performed in the United States. None, from the use of a Ouija I might add.

I have also heard that some people draw thelr own blood and allow it to drip onto the Board, as they believe it allows them to "become one with the board". This is highly NOT recommended, based on the real dangers of disease, and or other problems that arise from simply being in contact with blood these days. This is not needed in order to run a Ouija, and should be discouraged from.

The Ouija is a tool, and as with any tool, it should be maintained. The manufacture of the commercial version advises that the board be wiped clean with a soft cloth to remove any dust. Some believe this also wipes away any spiritual residue from the last time it was used. Do not use cleaners like "Pledge", or "Windex" to clean the Ouija, simply use a dry soft cloth. Anything wet, will ruin the surface of the Ouija, and when not in use, it should be stored in a protective box.

HOW TO USE THE OUIJA BOARD PROPERLY

There should be TWO or more people on the Ouija when being used. The addage is "three is a crowed, and four is a bore" hold true when using the Ouija. Three people max is recommended, four is almost to hard to do, and one is not recommended. The Ouija, like video games, can become addictive. One person using the Ouija in small chances, can become a real addict, and fall into a state called "Progressive Entrapment'. This means that the person has used the Ouija so much, that they no longer need the Ouija Board, and have developed their abilities to channel the spirit(s) constantly. This unto itself is not dangerous statistically, but, the chance of the person channeling (Medium) not belng prepared for being a Full Time Medium, can be overcome with high stress, panic, fear, and even develop other

problems, from Sleep Disorders, to Eating Disorders. Being a Full Time Medium takes a lot of dedication, hard work, and skill, it is something that is developed over many years and decades, going from a "Ouija User' to a Full Time Medium in a hours time, can be like being thrown into a ocean hundreds of miles from the coast, and told to swim home.
