Answer 1

The directions on the box itself will help.  I'm not sure if you have a newer one or one of the older ones, but in any case, make sure that the board is really smooth.  Any sort of roughness will prevent the planchette from moving.  Does the planchette have small circles of felt covering each of the feet?  If not, that will also help.  I've never been able to do this alone; the board really is meant for two people.  Sit facing each other; your knees should touch lightly.  Keep your arms relaxed and rest just your fingertips on the planchette.  Take a few deep breaths and try to empty out your mind of any stress or worries.  Just have an open and receptive state of mind.  You may want to decide ahead of time on a few questions to ask as it's important that you focus on only the question itself when you are asking it.  Let's say you have ten questions on a piece of paper.  Have one of you ask the questions; I always start by asking if anyone is there.  This takes a minute or two; you will think that you're all alone, but then the planchette will start to move in a sort of creaky way, and all of a sudden, whoosh!  It will go to yes.  Then welcome the person and ask  question #1, focusing all your mental energy on the question. The first few questions should probably be yes/no answers; once you get to a question that spells out the answer, don't take your hands off the planchette to write it down until you are pretty sure of what it has said.  Sometimes you'll just get random letters, but when that happens, reframe the question!  Try again!  Maybe it wasn't all that clear or just plain confusing.  Any distractions--barking dogs, ringing phones, other people in the room--will throw the whole thing off.  I am not afraid of the Ouija board--lots of people will warn you about this or that, but I say hogwash!  Have fun and good luck!!

Answer 4

at least just read the article

"Although Ouija boards are viewed by some to be a simple toy, there are people who believe they can be harmful, including Edgar Cayce, who called them "dangerous."[9] Critics warn that "evil demons" pretend to be cooperative ghosts in order to trick players into becoming spiritually possessed.

Some practitioners claim to have had bad experiences related to the use of talking boards by being haunted by "demons," seeing apparitions of spirits, and hearing voices after using them. A few paranormal researchers, such as John Zaffis, claim that the majority of the worst cases of so-called demon harassment and possession are caused by the use of Ouija boards. The American demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, stated that "Ouija boards are just as dangerous as drugs."[10] They further state that "séances and Ouija boards and other occult paraphernalia are dangerous because 'evil spirits' often disguise themselves as your loved ones—and take over your life."[11]

In 1944, occultist Manly P. Hall, the founder of the Philosophical Research Society and an early authority on the occult in the 20th century, stated in Horizon magazine that, "during the last 20-25 years I have had considerable personal experience with persons who have complicated their lives through dabbling with the Ouija board. Out of every hundred such cases, at least 95 are worse off for the experience." He went on to say that, "I know of broken homes, estranged families, and even suicides that can be traced directly to this source."[12]

Many Christians hold the belief that using a Ouija board allows communication with demons, which they say is Biblically forbidden as a form of divination.[13] Some people who claim to have been oppressed by evil spirits after using a board say that they could only get rid of these problems after Christian deliverance.[14] Many Christians believe that no dead person's soul can be summoned, and that the only summoned spirits are demons who are trying to harm humans.[15]

As early as 1924, Harry Houdini wrote that five people from Carrito, California were driven insane by using a board.[16] That same year, Dr. Carl Wickland in his book stated that "the serious problem of alienation and mental derangement attending ignorant psychic experiments was first brought to my attention by cases of several persons whose seemingly harmless experiences with automatic writing and the Ouija board resulted in such wild insanity that commitment to asylums was necessitated."[17]

The former medical director of the State Insane Asylum of New Jersey, Dr. Curry, stated that the Ouija board was a "dangerous factor" in unbalancing the mind and believed that if their popularity persisted insane asylums would be filled with people who used them.[18]

Decades later, in 1965, parapsychologist Martin Ebon in his book Satan Trap: Dangers of the Occult, states that "it all may start harmlessly enough, perhaps with a Ouija board," which will, "bring startling information... establishing credibility or identifying itself as someone who is dead. It is common that people... as having been 'chosen' for a special task." He continues, "Quite often the Ouija turns vulgar, abusive or threatening. It grows demanding and hostile, and sitters may find themselves using the board compulsively, as if 'possessed' by a spirit, or hearing voices that control or command them."[19]

In her 1971 autobiography, the psychic Susy Smith said, "Warn people away from Ouija and automatic writing. I experienced many of the worst problems of such involvement. Had I been forewarned by reading that such efforts might cause one to run the risk of being mentally disturbed, I might have been more wary."[20]

Additionally, the late Roman Catholic priest Malachi Martin believed talking boards are dangerous and claimed that by using these devices a person opens themselves to demonic oppression or possession, topics upon which Martin spoke and wrote extensively for many years.[21]

Answer 5

I don't necessarily believe in these instructions, or Ouija boards for that matter. Ouija boards are moved by an ideomotor effect...you are subconsciously moving the planchette. With that said, don't take anything the Ouija board spells too seriously.

Wipe the board with a clean, dry tissue or cloth. Eliminate distraction (TV, music, etc), turn off the lights, and light three (or any number divisible by three - six, nine, twelve, etc) candles. Place your index and middle finger *lightly* on the planchette/pointer. If playing alone or with one other person, use your index and middle finger of both hands. Keep your arms raised, don't allow your wrist to touch the board or table. Ask a question that would require a 'yes' or 'no' answer first. If no response, move the planchette around the board a few times.

Some believe that only weak spirits can be channeled through an Ouija board.

Don't use red candles, they are said to evoke "evil" spirits.

Always move the planchette to 'goodbye' after using, otherwise you could open a portal.

Do not allow the planchette to make a figure eight. This can also open a portal.

Spirits can not answer questions about the future.

Have fun.

Answer 6

ok, well make sure you read ALL the answers in this question. and make sure you protect yourself PROPERLY. if you dont, spirits can "possess" you. its harder to contact a good spirit, but its much, much safer. also, its easier with 2 or more people. one energy field is a bit too weak.
