Ouija Boards
It is that time of year again, Samhain and Halloween and I know that a lot of you are going to be having your turn at Ouija Boards.
There are lots of misconceptions, superstitions, misinformation and so on about these items, and I am here to educate.
Common Ouija Board Misconceptions:  ☠
You can get possessed through a ouija board: This is false. A ouija board cannot possess you. It is just a piece of paper, wood, cardboard, ect It does not have powers. It cannot possess you. To be possessed, one has to find a demon or evil spirit and consent to have it enter your body.
Ouija boards are evil: Ouija boards are not evil. They are not of the devil. They are not satanic. This is propaganda spread by the Christian church and community. Ouija boards were originally invited during the World Wars by people back home who wanted to contact their lost soldiers.
You will meet demons or evil spirits if you use a ouija board: It is possible to meet demons or evil spirits if you use a ouija board. If you happen to be around them, they may try to contact you through the board and disturb or frighten you. However, it is not certain that you will meet a demon or anything like one. Thing of ouija boards like Omegle or a random chat room. You get hooked up with whoever is ‘online’, around you, present, and wants to talk. You are more likely to meet spirits who have died, are lost, or are attached to you or the area you are in.
Ouija board open portals for demons/spirits/ghosts/angels/faeries/etc to enter through: This is not true. A ouija board is not a portal. It can not create a portal. It is a piece of cardboard, paper, or wood, remember? You are interacting with spirits that are already around you regardless of the ouija board. Spirit boards are no different and no more dangerous than tarot cards, pendulums, and other related items.
Dangers of Ouija Boards:  ☠
You can become frightened: Truly, the biggest risk you take (the most probable) when using a ouija board is that you will be frightened. For some spirits, it is fun to frighten users, or they are doing so for energy to help them manifest.
You may see/feel/hear/sense things you don’t like: if a spirit is strong enough or collects enough energy (this is more likely of you are with a group) it may manifest in physical ways. You may hear sounds or voices, see things move, or even see part of a spirit. This is not usually dangerous, but if you feel unsafe, stop the game at least long enough to calm down. Fear makes these things stronger.
A spirit may become attached to you: Most common with child spirits, confused spirits (ones who don’t know they are dead), or lonely spirits, spirits and entities can become attached to you and follow you home. You may sense or feel them frequently, see them in dreams, and so on. If this happens, you need to cleanse yourself. Ask the spirit if it needs help and try to do so (only for experienced spirit workers), or banish it.
What to do if things get bad:  ☠
My board is saying “666/999/zozo/ect.”: This is usually nothing. Spirits know that doing these things generally frighten users, and fear is energy Spirits need energy to move the piece along the board and frightening you is the easiest way to get some. Some spirits also just think it’s funny and it entertains them. If the spirit you are in contact with is saying these things, tell them that it is not funny to you, you don’t like them, and ask them to stop. If they do not, tell them you will leave and speak with someone else. Be polite and respectful, but firm and frank.
I am using my ouija board and I feel scared!: Spirits can do things to make you frightened. They can say frightening things, make threats, and if they are strong enough, they can even give you impressions of negative or scary feelings. If this happens, tell them that you are no longer enjoying talking with them and respectfully leave.
My ouija board is just saying random letters/numbers: When this happens, you are either speaking with an echo or impression and not a real spirit, the spirit is not very strong and does not have enough energy to be coherent, the spirit is confused, the spirit is a child, the spirit speaks a different language, or more than one spirit is trying to use the board with you at once. If this happens, it may help to light a candle for the spirit(s) to draw energy from. They will take energy from the flame instead of you, as well.
A spirit won’t answer my question/when I ask a question, the spirit avoids or becomes unkind: The spirits you are most likely to come across are deceased humans, especially during samhain when the veil is thin. You need to be respectful and kind with these types of spirits. They have feelings and memories. They may not want to talk about certain things. Trigger topics can include but are not limited to: How they died, their age, their family, they past lives…
I am using my ouija board and I feel physically ill. I smell strange things that make me feel nauseated. My chest feels heavy, my skin feels prickly, or my head hurts: This is usually a sign of a demonic presence. If this happens to you, LEAVE IMMEDIATELY. Tell the spirit that you have to go go and stop playing. If you want to play again, go to a different spot, drink water, and wait until you are calm and have more energy again.
I am playing with a party and one of my friends is more frightened than the rest of us and is acting strangely: Sometimes spirits will target one person to draw energy from. This is always the most easily frightened person. To avoid, do not be tense, fearful, or anxious. If you sense this beginning to happen, tell the spirit that you are not frightened and that you will leave if it continues.
Be safe! Be careful! be educated! Have fun!
Happy Samhain!

But one day, the heart will be found, by someone who will journey beyond our reef, find Maui, deliver him across the great ocean to restore Te Fiti’s heart, and save us all.
