Does the Ouija board really work?

Question

AND BE HONEST!

and if so, how does it work and what you have to do?

Answer 1

It "works," but not as in actually talking to spirits, demons, or angels. There is nothing supernatural about it.

From the source mentioned below...
"Although Ouija boards are usually sold in the novelty or game section of stores, many people swear that there is something occult about them. For example, Susy Smith in Confessions of a Psychic (1971) claims that using a Ouija board caused her to become mentally disturbed. In Thirty Years Among the Dead (1924), American psychiatrist Dr. Carl Wickland claims that using the Ouija board "resulted in such wild insanity that commitment to asylums was necessitated." Is this what happens when amateurs try to dabble in the occult? Maybe, if they are suggestible, not very skeptical, and a bit disturbed to begin with. However, even very intelligent people who have not gone insane are impressed by Ouija board sessions. They find it difficult to explain the "communication" as the ideomotor effect reflecting unconscious thoughts. One reason they find such an explanation difficult to accept is that the "communications" are sometimes very vile and unpleasant. It is more psychologically pleasing to attribute vile pronouncements to evil spirits than to admit that one among you is harboring vile thoughts. Also, some of the "communications" express fears rather than wishes, such as the fear of death, and such notions can have a very visible and significant effect on some people.

Observing powerful messages and the powerful effect of messages on impressionable people can be impressive. Yet, as experiences with facilitated communication have shown, decent people often harbor indecent thoughts of which they are unaware. And the fact that a person takes a "communication" seriously enough to have it significantly interfere with the enjoyment of life might be a sufficient reason for avoiding the Ouija board as being more than a "harmless bit of entertainment," but it is hardly a sufficient reason for concluding that the messages issue from anything but our own minds."

Answer 2

yes but it is not recomended. by using the spirit board you are opening a doorway to the other side and if you don't close the doorway when you are done then you are inviting anything and everything into this side which could be very bad. if you really want to work the spirit board then i suggest you find someone who is exspieranced or knows what they are doing. either that or do a lot of research before attempting it. never never do it on your own unless you are exspieranced and can invoke guardians to protect you from harm

Answer 3

I'm skeptical. They say the only way it will work is if you buy a real wooden version...not cardboard. The real one may cost a lot. The only way to find out if it really works is to buy a real Ouija board...you cant buy them at a toy store.

Answer 4

I used the oujia board online (witchboard.com) and it didnt' work. But I can't answer since I never used the real thing.

You need to place the glass see-through thing over a board filled with letters and say messages. Then you and your friends are suppose to hold the thing and the spirit will supposedly direct you to letters, where it'll make a word. Which will be the spirit trying to communicate with sentences.

Answer 5

It's supposed to be a game. And I think that the majority of people play around with one when they were young and ask the "Who am I going to marry" type questions. The energies that tend to respond are overwhelmingly negative and if they decide to attach themselves to it can take a bit of work to get rid of them.

Since everyone's curious I'm not going to stay "Don't do it". Just be aware of what you're dealing with.

Answer 6

Hello, Ive never myself played a ouiji board but my mum has. When she was alot younger her and some friends played it and at the time mum was young, free and single.
They asked it if my mum would ever get married. And it said yes. They then asked it who she would marry and all it gave her was the initals R.J.C.W.
After approx 23years later my mum met my dad and later they got married. My dads name is all of those initals....how spooky is that then?

I HAVE heard though that it CAN be dangerous. I would read more about it before you attempt to play it.

Answer 7

Yes, if you believe it does.

You need to clear your mind & concentrate. Only touch the pointer lightly. And never play it alone.

Also, don't believe everything it tells you. We are born w/a good & evil side. And after we pass, the evil side is still resides in this plane (in most cases). And it is this doopleganger that normally speaks to you.

You should burn it. I had a doctor that did, & he heard cries rising from the flames.

Answer 8

yea it does because i used it once all alone then i ran out of my room then something locked my door and i couldnt get in ! if u wanna use it the right way make sure u are in a dark room with candles and u have flowers an water because spirits really respond to it and make sure u call out the spirits name u want because wat will happen is a whole bunch of spirits will come all at once and u cant really get rid of them!

Answer 9

It's a gateway to evil. It's better not even to have one in your house, you don't know what you might call up. If you have a problem that concerns you , don't look to the dead or"beings" to help. Find someone alive that you trust and talk to them.

Answer 10

a Ouiji boards main purpose is to provide entertainment. In that sense it works very well.

If you think, and I hope you don't, that a Ouiji board provides some supernatural insight, then no.
