Ouija Board? Stay Safe.?

Question

Okay, I've been searching for a while on how to stay safe using an ouija board with no luck. Ever site tells you to stay safe, but doesn't say how to stay safe. Does anyone know how to stay safe when using an ouija board?

And please don't tell me not to use one, I'm trying to do a research paper on Ouija Boards so "Don't use them" is not an option.

Answer 1

Danger! Please do not mess with this! It DOES invite dark entities to harrass you and even worse. Not a joke!

Answer 2

Try to find a priest and a protestant minister to assist you.  I would feel somewhat safe if both of them were present but not participating.

There are two views with which I am familiar: In the first one, one of the participants is deliberately controlling the pointer.  The alternative view is that one of Satan's minions is influencing it.  That is scary.

Answer 5

Don't pay any heed to those sites that tell you to "protect" yourself. They are just written by hyperventilating mystics with overactive imaginations. The Ouija board is simply a board game, and it works because it tricks you into thinking that the planchette moves around because of an "unseen force" rather than the real cause, the ideomotor effect.

If you're doing a research paper on the Ouija board, then sure, you probably should give some background on the game and why some people think it's a "doorway" to demons and how to be "safe". Here is one wacky web site which takes this stuff seriously: http://www.graveaddiction.com/ouijatips.... But to make it a real research paper, you should dig down deeper than mere folklore. What you really need to focus on the ideomotor effect and explain why this works with the Ouija board. This is actually helpful information and shows you actually did research into the subject. There are a couple links below to get you started.

Also, how about trying it out with a few friends?  Darken the room, light a few candles, set up a video recorder, and start inviting demons and spirits to join you. See what happens. A description of your own Ouija board experience would be a nice personal touch to add to your research paper.

Good luck!  Hope you get an A.

EDIT: I also included a link to a Ouija board experiment where the participants were blindfolded, hence the ideomotor effect was disabled. Guess what happened? Yep, the Ouija board didn't work at all.

Ouija boards are for the spiritually ignorant to get negative energy/entity attachments that can deflect or ruin your life. Largely with little awareness on your part of their attachment.

Don't do it, period, asking for trouble. Only people that don't understand things use one, and those are the exact people negatives are looking to entrap.  It's a trap.

Answer 7

ok just let the light protect u like always no that god will be there to protect u and no dark can come because the light is saving u and dont abuse the questions like dont ask are u a demon, wen did u die, or how did u die

    If there really is an afterlife, I'll bet the best way to contact it is through a plastic, mass-produced board game from Milton Bradley! --Mad Magazine

The Ouija board is a harmless toy. Even if not it is very unreliable and gives false information. No boogey man will get you , no evil demons will possess you only your own fear will consume you for believing everyone.

Take the advise of those who are saying to stay within true research and explain the real reason it works. However if you just want a simple way of protection that is to use the board within a protective circle. Light candles and place them in each of the four directions and use some sort of prayer according to your belief  and ask for the circle to be  sacred and protective.

I have used the board of and on since 1964 and I can tell you it is nothing to be afraid of. The horror stories did not start until after the movie the Exorcist and then the h**l fire and damnation preachers picked up on it and the result is the false fears of the toy we see today.

Hollywood is responsible for many  a false beliefs.

Answer 10

whaa..

Answer 11

If you're religious, you were probably TAUGHT that one doesn't mess around with Ouija boards because it will allow "demons" into our world.

And even if you aren't religious, you're still apprehensive because of all the superstition that revolves around them.

If you don't feel safe, then I would suggest that you come up with your own protective procedures...........

(these are just examples, not that I'm promoting them)

burn incense, burn a white candle, maybe a large glass bowl of water for the "spirit" to go into, say a protective chant, etc....

I would experiment on different types of surfaces for the board to sit on.

See if the plainchant moves easier on a wood table, marble table, glass table.

Even see how it reacts on floors, whether it's wooden floors, carpeted, or the linoleum floor in the kitchen.

Even go out on your front porch and see how it reacts on concrete.

Maybe even see if it responds with different types of music in the background.

I would be AMAZED if you came up with anything conclusive other than it being just a parlor game.

Answer 12

If this research project is for school, make sure you don't leave out the ideomotor effect, which is the explanation for how the planchette moves in the first place - it turns out you're doing it all yourself.  There are no spirits involved - it's all in your head.  So there's really nothing 'unsafe' you can do with it besides give yourself a papercut.  I wouldn't eat it either.  :)

Answer 13

What do you have to prove?  Go ahead and play with things you don't understand...are you prepared?  A very spiritual person should be able to handle it.  A very wise person could.....but a young one is prey.  Why do you think there is such controversy?

Answer 14

Not really, just use opinions of others who have dared to used them. You don't have to used them yourself.

Answer 15

I suppose you should take care not to burn down your house with candles.  Other than that, it's all fun and games.
