Since the rise of the Spiritualist movement in the mid nineteenth century, people have been using ouija boards for both spirit contact and as a fun parlor game. This guide will provide you with information and tips on how to use a ouija board.
Step 1: What is a Ouija Board?
Ouija boards have origins dating back to China, where it was used as a means of divination. During the mid 1800s, when Spiritualism was on the rise, it became a popular way to communicate with spirits from the other side, and was often used as an accompaniment during a seance.
The modern quija board originated in the late 1800s during the height of the Spiritualist movement. Sold to the toy company Parker Brothers in 1966, the game is comprised of a board that has printed numbers, letters and other signs on it. Also included is a planchette, which is used to move about the board and spell out messages using letters and numbers.
Step 2: Reasons for Using a Ouija Board
People have been using ouija boards for years as both a means of recreation, and as a way to communicate with spirits from the other side. Taking away the amusement factor, people using quija boards for supernatural means do so for some of the following reasons:
- Locate missing objects
- Reconnect with deceased friends and family
- Seeking miracles or proof of life after death
Step 3: What You Will Need
Before you begin, you will need the following physical objects:
- Ouija board game
- Candles for ambiance
- Incense for ambiance
- Pen and paper for recording answers
- At least two people. Although you can have several people participating, the ideal number to have is two people to actually play the game and one person to record the answers or messages received.
In addition to the above, there are other means of preparations you will need to make, including:
- Finding a quiet place where you will not be disturbed
- Making sure your mind is clear. It is imperative that you are sober, and do not drink any alcohol or engage in smoking marijuana or other, similar mind altering substances.
- Making sure that you and those you are playing the quija board with do not have any psychological issues or neurosis
- Having a serious attitude. If you think the game is a joke and show disrespect to the process, you may attract negative energies.
Step 4: Ask a Question
Next you should come up with some questions. It is important to start with yes and no questions to get the board warmed up. Also, have a third person to record the questions you are asking and the answers you receive. Some thoughts to consider when formulating questions include:
- Ask simple questions first
- Do not ask for physical signs
- Avoid questions that may incite unnecessary fear such as 'when will I die?'
- Be patient. You will not always receive an immediate answer
Step 5: Have fun!
Now it is time to start using the ouija board. You should sit across from the person you will be using it with and make sure your knees are touching. Put the board on both of your laps, then place your fingers lightly on either side of the planchette. Then, start by asking your question. As you begin playing, get to know the quija board, as learning how it works is very important. When you start out, remember to have a respectful attitude.
Conclusion
Although Ouija boards have been popular parlor games for several centuries, their roots are buried deep in the supernatural realm. Popularized as a means for communicating with spirits during a seance, learning how to use a Ouija board properly is essential for the skilled and unskilled alike. As long as you adhere to some of the basic safety rules, it can not only be a fun experience, but an enlightening introduction into the supernatural realm as well.
