Ouija: Encyclopedia - Ouija

Ouija: Encyclopedia II - Ouija - Criticism of Ouija boards Although Ouija boards are viewed by some as a positive spiritual device or a simple toy, there are people who believe they can be harmful, including Edgar Cayce, who called them "dangerous." Critics warn that evil demons pretend to be cooperative ghosts in order to trick players into becoming spiritually possessed. Others believe that communicating with spirits using a Ouija board is dangerous. They contend that the sources of any spiritual communications are unknown, and therefore inexperienced users may inadvertently contact "harmfu ...

To dream of working on an ouija board, foretells the miscarriage of plans and unlucky partnerships.
To fail to work, one is ominous of complications, caused by substituting pleasure for business.
If it writes fluently, you may expect fortunate results from some well-planned enterprise.
If a negro steals it, you will meet with trials and vexations past endurance. To recover it, foretells that grievances will meet a favorable adjustment.

Ouija: Not a Game - about the danger with Channeling Boards

The Ouija board has been used by thousands of people for spirit communication and is very similar to automatic writing, the only difference between the two being the absence of the board itself in automatic writing. Both forms of communication are very dangerous, as are s�ances, because they are usually uncontrolled forms of communication. In other words, the individuals that use these channels are usually novices and are unaware of the possible dangers that may await.

Ouija: Talking Board Basics

A wide range of experiences has been reported with "Ouija" or "talking boards." Like anything in life, the result you get will depend upon your intentions and expectations going in. Opening up to other dimensions via such a medium is a bit like walking a tightrope. An innocent who doesn't know enough to be afraid may sail across the rope just like it was two feet off the ground. A mature and responsible adult may find the experience expansive, enlightening, and thrilling. A reckless, thoughtless young person, on the other hand, who lacks respect for the power of the situation, may find himself or herself tumbling into an abyss with no net in sight.

Ouija: Encyclopedia II - Ouija - History

The use of talking boards has roots in the modern Spiritualism movement that began in The United States in the mid-19th century. Methods of divination at that time used various ways to spell out messages, including swinging a pendulum over a plate that had letters around the edge or using an entire table to indicate letters drawn on the floor. Often used was a small wooden tablet supported on casters. This tablet, called a planchette, was affixed with a pencil that would write out messages in a fashion similar to automatic writing. It should be noted that many of these met ...

Ouija: Encyclopedia - Alectryomancy

Alectryomancy (also called alectromancy or alectomancy) is a form of divination in which the diviner observes a bird, several birds (or most preferably a white rooster or cockerel) pecking at grain (such as wheat) that the diviner has scattered on the ground. The observer may place grain in the shape of letters and thus discern a divinatory revelation by noting which letters the birds peck at, or the diviner may just interpret the pattern lef ...

Ouija: Encyclopedia - Séance

A séance (pronounced: [seɪɑ:ns]) is, on its most basic level, an attempt to communicate with the dead. The séance, or sitting, is led by a person known as a medium who will usually go into a trance and allow the dead to communicate through him or her. More recently, this has been known as channeling.

Ouija: Encyclopedia - Occult

The word occult comes from Latin occultus (hidden), referring to the 'knowledge of the secret' or 'knowledge of the hidden' and often meaning 'knowledge of the supernatural', as opposed to 'knowledge of the visible' or 'knowledge of the measurable', usually referred to as science. The modern term's meaning is often imprecisely translated and used as a term for 'secret knowledge' or 'hidden knowledge', in the sense of meaning 'knowledge meant only for certain people' or 'knowledge that must be kept hidden'. For most practicing o ...

Ouija Board

A board and pointer used for divination and to contact the spirit world. The name is said to come from the French for 'yes', oui, and the German for 'yes', ja - though there are other claims.

The board, which has the letters of the alphabet, the numbers 0 to 9, and the words 'yes' and 'no' printed on it, is placed on a table. Participants rest their fingertips lightly on the pointer, a heart-shaped device with three felt-tipped legs. One person poses a question, and the pointer is then supposed to move to answer the question.

Similar board-type instruments were used for divination in ancient China and Greece. In the mid-nineteenth century a similar device, the planchette, came into use in Europe. The modern Ouija board is marketed as a game, originally called 'Ouija Talking Board', and was developed in the late 1890s by an American, William Fuld, who sold the patent to the Parker Brothers game company in 1966.

Ouija boards became popular during and after World War I, when many people were desperate to communicate with friends and loved ones killed in the fighting.

Parapsychologists regard the Ouija board as a means to tap into the subconscious; critics of its use claim that it is dangerous in that users have no control over repressed material, which may lead to psychological trauma. Most fundamentalist Christians condemn the Ouija board as dangerous tinkering with potentially harmful occult forces and a tool of the Devil.
