Ouija= two different languages of yes: "Oui" "Ja"

Usually the actually "object" is just several variation of plastic on cardboard. Most skeptics believe it "works" through nervous movement mixed with a good amount of psychological build up.

Spiritualists HAVE used them and some still do. Most prefer not to today, because there is bigger percentage of skeptics over the Ouija board since it has become such a parlor game. A lot spiritualists would rather use something more elaborate and/or dramatic in order to really convince people they are connecting to spirits.

In most cases, like with John Edwards, they're just using a kind of mind game to convince people.

Also I have used Ouija boards, nothing big happened, we were just a bunch of psyched up adolescent girls.

Course this does not mean I don't believe talking to spirits isn't possible. I just have a hard time thinking people who have to brag about in one form or another actually do.

Like a teenager thinking celtic is a magic definition and then referring to them self as spiritualist/ specialist and who's spelling says nothing good about them.

If you can't spell something you're talking about correctly it reflects poorly on your knowledge of it. Even if English is your second language, you still do what you can to be taken seriously not this half-ass crap.

I've used one before. Me and my friend tried to talk to her uncle but all it did was give us some random numbers and letters.

[DarkWolf]

What is it with you and trailing thoughts? Stop hitting that full stop key so much. Three dots "..." doesn't finish a sentence. A full stop, one dot ".", does.

It's "spirit" ("spirits", "spiritualist"), it's not hard and is spelled how it is pronounced.

I'm not expecting perfect English here but at least show that you're trying please?

Back to topic:

A Ouiji board (or Ouija) is a device used to create a bridge between the physical world and the spirit world in the aim of communicating with spirits. Spirits typically have small power over physical things so a Ouija board allows that spirit to contact the living. Since it creates a bridge it is possible for bad spirits to use the bridge to affect the physical world more violently. However, a good medium can control the séance and prevent that.

Spiritualists frequently use Ouija boards since it heightens their capabilities and helps them focus so that can ensure nothing bad happens and only 'good' spirits are the ones who are contacted. Whoever told you spiritualists were against the use of them were lying to you. Ideally a Ouija board should only be used by a spiritualist or medium who knows what they're doing. The board may not be required but it's extremely helpful and means they can focus more of their energies on ensuring safety than just trying to get a spirit to talk.

Personally I think it's more psychology than parapsychology but that's just me. :shrug:

[Rele WT]

I was able to talkto a spirit before by tying thisthing (I don't remember what it was) on a string and setting it over a paper where I wrote all the letters, but I can't be sure if the string was just in an air draft or some thing like that. It made sense, like it spelled actually words, but that could have been me without realizing it, your mind does do that sometimes after all... (is that too open for you? Sorry, I find myself using '...' a bit much. Actually, my brother finds it annoying, so while on the point I guess I'll just see. But I do agree, putting it after every sentance is too much even for me.)
But like I said, the Ouija board I tried to use either it's all fake, it wasn't the spirit of my friends uncle, it was a code, or my friend's uncle went insane after death.

A Parker Brother's plastic and cardboard "fun" Ouija board is nothing more than a party favor.

Now if you want to talk about an ancient Ouija board made of real dogwood with an actual glass lens that's sitting in an authentic voodoo shop in Louisiana, we have something entirely different. I believe that Ouija boards can be very powerful tools when used correctly by people who know what they're doing.

I used a Ouija board once, with a group of friends whom claimthey didn't move the marker, but I have my doubts. I believe that much of this "talking with spirits" is in your head. As Darkwolf said, more psychology than parapsychology.

Toys for stupid people.

[Kat-chan]

I've used one once, Although I honestly think my friend was just moving it around herself to get the answers she wanted.

Theres also the fact that the quija board in question was made of cardboard and plastic, and for added fun...Glowed in the Dark! Woo! I think she got it from k-mart or something along those lines.

But I agree with Gilenea when it comes to a real quija board. If used properly and ISN'T made of cheap plastic, I believe it can contact spirits, although, they may not contact "friendly" spirits. :]

It's a pendulum, or a pendant. The act of using one is called dowsing. It's a similar concept to the Ouija board, in that you let some external force move the pendulum.

I've done something like that with my Grandma. We had three overturned cups, and I had secretly placed a British pound (my lucky coin) under one. She let the pendulum swing freely, holding her arm still as she could, and let it point to where the coin was.

I believed in it fully at the time, and sure enough of the six times we tried it, five of the times she/the pendulum was right. One of those times the pendant failed to start swinging, but I hadn't placed the coin under any cups. Kind of freaky.

The answers started getting mixed up when my brother, rather skeptical, joined us.

I don't know how the hell it worked, or if she was cheating (doubt it), but frankly I don't buy the spirits explanation. If I was a spirit, I'd have better things to do than find a coin I expect. I'm not a skeptic; I just think it has more to do with our subconscious than ghosts.

Toys for stupid people.

Amen. Do it right and you don't need any boards for them to spell out answers: instead, they're burned into your brain.

Every Halloween me and my cousins go to Dracula Drive and camp out in the woods and play with the Ouija board. Ours is very very old, my mom got it when she was in Italy with a pack of tarot cards she use to use when she was young and curious. It's heavy as hell cause it's made out of wood (forgot what kind) and the little triangle piece has a crack in the glass but hey it works.

Take care, otherwise you'll end up like that girl from the exorcist.

lol I'm going to bring a can of pea soup when we go again and scare the shit out of my cousins lol thanks for the tip.

[Nichael]

Just remember: if you get an answer you don't like, you gotta say "Captain Howdy, that wasn't very nice!!" Hehe, Reagan was a funny little possessed kid.

:D she was a crazy chic. What we do when we get a response who don't like is blow out all the candles and lay a mirror the size of the board on the Ouija board, supposedly that defers the evil spirits.

[Nichael]

I'll have to remember that if I ever get a board. Though I could see myself being easily distracted by the mirror. I wonder if my soul would get sucked in or something.

[crazy dude]

my sister and i used a wigi board and the next day our uncle died wigi boards can and are dangerious if you dont know the right way to use them

[Kaden]

Or they can be cardboard and plastic.


Although I often find it weird that it correctly guessed the name of my future husband... before I had even met him.

Could be coincidence.

Not when you can't spell it. Or even dangerous for that matter.

It's plastic, cardboard and nerves made by corporate toy store, in china, where they think we're retards for buying just some plastic and cardboard for $12+.

[ThrasherCub]

It's "Ouija," not wigi, and it was invented by Parker Brother's, a game company. It has no occult history, makes no sense at all if you understand magick, and for fuck's sake it works by having lots of people who expect something to happen touching the center piece. Of course it's going to move!

It's pretty simple how things like that move. Someone's arm isn't balanced or twitches and so it pulls ever so slightly in some direction, everyone freaks out, and while they're busy having their wild imaginations jump up and down in their heads their subconscious moves it wherever they expect it to go. Where you expect it subconsciously of course, so don't pull that crap with "Yeah but it said something mean we didn't want that!"

Like shit you didn't. Of course you want the Ouija board to say something like "You're all gonna die," because that's fun and exciting. Having it say "Everything's fine" is boring.

And before you decide that your uncle died because of your Ouija board, think of the fact that over 100 people die every minute.

Capitalization, punctuation, and a dictionary; none of these are ouija boards. Learn to use them the right way.
The best use for a ouija board is "bonfire".

There are many theories and conjectures on Ouija board history and how it began. An old name for Ouija board is "talking boards." The Ouija board may have originated from the fabled Moroccan city Ouija also spelled Oujida or Oudjda.

The planchette (held in both hands on the board) was named after the French medium M. Planchette. Adolphus Theodore Wagner received the first patent for the board in London, England in 1854. It was then called a "psychograph" and was supposed to read the minds of people with "nervous energy."

The Ouija board was first introduced in the United States in 1890 as a parlor game sold in novelty shops. E.C. Reiche, Elijah Bond, and Charles Kennard created a new design. They spread the letters of the alphanumeric in twin arcs across the middle of the board. Below the letters were the numbers one to ten. In the corners were Yes and No.

Kennard called the new board Ouija - supposedly after the Egyptian word for good luck. However Ouija is not the Egyptian word for good luck. Since the board repeatedly told Kennard that Ouija was the Egyptian word, the name stayed. Kennard, who lost the company, was taken over by his former foreman William Fuld. In 1892, he reinvented the history of Ouija Boards. He claimed he invented the Ouija Board and the name Ouija was a fusion of the French word "oui" for yes, and the German "ja" for yes.

The Ouija board was NOT invented by Parker Brothers. It has roots in Voodoo and several other occult histories. A "real" Ouija board's viewer is supposed to be made of glass and dogwood (as is the board itself), with the letter burned into the board. Dogwood was supposedly the type of tree Christ was crucified on, making it a symbolic representation of life and death. Parker Brothers just made a plastic version for production en masse.

But like the workings of "magick," you get out of it what you put into it.

I love you. I couldn't find any history on the damn things that wasn't utter crap so naturally I assumed it was all crap.

Especially since it's now used primarily at sleep-overs.

Just another sad example of something beautiful being monopolized and packaged with shiny wrappers for the masses. *Sighs* When does it end?

What exactly are Wigi boards? Have you ever used one? if so what happend... Wigi boards can make a portal in that can let in bad sperits... (from what i have herd)... Speritalists are against the use of them... becuse we don't need them to talk to sperits...

Besides a lousy board game that still holds an odd attraction to play for some people...
I've heard that beyond the marketed game historically the boards where known as "witch boards" - used to communicate with the spirit world, unseen forces, and other dimensions etc.
I've heard my share of spook stories from people who have used the boards before also. I've yet to hear of good stories with the boards use from anyone though I'm sure there are those too.
I'd rather tinker with a bottle of Captain Morgan Select rum at a party than a Ouija board myself, seems to work just as well for communicating with unseen forces ha-ha.
