Do Ouija boards really work?

Answer 1

Yes they do.Here's a link,I've answered this question many times.Read the link please.

Answer 2

Yes, they work, and many people will report bad experiences with them. The problem isn't in the boards themselves, it is in the use. Most people who have experiemented with them have done so as a game, without knowing what they were doing. They can be safely used, but I recommend doing so within a Magick Circle, and knowing exactly who you want to call in advance.

The best answer I can give you is to quote Aleister Crowley's essay "The Ouija Board," found in _The Revival of Magick and other Essays_, published by New Falcon in association with the OTO; " Suppose a perfect stranger came into your office and proceeded to give orders to your staff. Suppose a strange woman walked into your drawing room and insisted on being hostess. You would be troubled by this. Yet, people sit down and offer the use of their brains and hands (which are, after all, more important than offices and drawing rooms) to any stray intelligence that may be wandering about. People use the Ouija Board without taking the slightest precautions. " The establishment of the identity of a spirit by ordinary methods is a very difficult problem, but the majority of people who play at Occultism do not even worry about this. They get something, and it does not seem to matter what! Every inanity, every stupidity, every piece of rubbish, is taken not only at its face value, but at an utterly exaggerated value. The most appallingly bad poetry will pass for Shelley, if only its authentication be that of the planchette! There is, however, a good way of using this instrument to get what you want, and that is to perform the whole operation in a consecrated circle, so that undesirable aliens cannot interfere with it. You should then employ the proper magical invocation in order to get into your circle just the one spirit that you want. It is comparatively easy to do this. A few simple instructions are all that is necessary, and I shall be pleased to give these, free of charge, to any one who cares to apply. " It is not particularly easy to get the spirit of a dead man, because the human soul, being divine, in not amenable to the control of other human souls: and it is further not legitimate or desirable to do it. But what can be done is to pick up the astral remains of the dead man from the Akasha and to build them up into a concrete mind. This operation, again, is not particularly profitable. The only legitimate work in this line is to get into touch with the really high intelligences, such as we call for convenience Gods, Archangels, and the like. These can give real information as to what is most necessary for our progress. And it is written in the Oracles of Zoroaster that unto the Persevering Mortal the Blessed Immortals are swift." -- Aleister Crowley, Originally published in The International (New York) XI:10 (October 1917 e.v.)

Answer 4

Dont funk with em!!
They work,there isnt enough room or time to explain,but yes they work.If u fool with them enough,(Spirits)am not sure,but they have different names,and can do a good job of guessing things it shouldnt know.
I played with them until it said it would kill me in a car with a friend of mine.It explained how it was goinna happen and where,and with who,it happened,,but it got a few details wrong,,,like i lived,later

Answer 5

Quite possibly they do work. But as to what kind of spirit you get on the other end, that might not be what you really want. I don't know if I would trust an evil spirit.

It's totally up to you, and what you believe.

Answer 6

Nah. It's all in your mind.
They're still fun though! Especially with a bunch of friends, sitting in the dark with only a few candles lit. You can easily freak others out and it becomes one big laugh fest.

Answer 7

I really doubt it. Everyone I know who believes they work has proven to be very detached from reality, and everyone I've ever heard tell of an incredible experience with one has been notorious for exaggeration, and much of the time, outright lies.

Answer 8

Nope

Answer 9

Yes, and so does the magic 8 ball

Answer 10

well for me and my friend it did!...we used to play it like 12 years ago- and while "talking" with some "moe" character it told us her boyfriend would arrive back from vacation early and he did- to our surprise. She didnt know he was coming home- it was supposed to be a surprise for her!

Answer 11

I'm not sure whether they work or not but I have heard enough freaky stories never to find out
