Ouija Board

This article is intended for knowledge purposes only. The Ouija board is not to be used as a form of entertainment, nor as a game. We are not liable for anything that happens to you, should you decide to use the board for whatever purposes. 

Keep reading

[theouijagirl]

Hey hi. Pretty much everything in your post is wrong.

Ouija boards are literally games. They were invented to be entertainment.

There are no “rules” to the Ouija board, other than be polite. You don’t have to have the planchette resting in a certain spot before playing, you don’t have to move it in circles (literally the point of the game is that you’re not the one moving it, so I have no idea why people insist on moving the planchette to start). You can start your game literally however you want. 

I highly suggest nobody ever try to “think” of answers, for two reasons. One, skeptics go “oh you were thinking of the answer and you were subconsciously moving the planchette” which is annoying. Second, you’re allowing the spirits to read your thoughts. Invite them into your mind and they can access whatever they want. Letting anyone into your most private thoughts is really risky.

Do not use a Ouija board to try to contact a specific person, especially a close family member. They’re not meant to try to get in contact with someone specifically, it’s to talk and play with random spirits. 

If the planchette moves in figure-8′s or counts down anything, it doesn’t mean squat. It means the spirit thinks you’re a moron and will believe that it means something evil. Nothing can “escape” a Ouija board, since it is just a piece of cardboard. Also, moving the planchette yourself to Goodbye is not advisable, as it’s like hanging up the phone on someone without saying Goodbye, and the spirit could get really offended. Again, there’s never a reason for you to move the planchette yourself, as it defeats the whole purpose of the game.

You can play the Ouija board alone, it’s just that most likely nothing will happen. 

You can definitely play the Ouija board if you’re depressed. Telling someone they can’t do something because of their medical condition is ableist. If you feel safe to play the Ouija board, then play, if not, don’t.

There has never been a case of demonic possession from a Ouija board. Ever. 

There is no right way to dispose of a Ouija board. I’ve literally heard plenty of crazy, ridiculous ways and of course people insist there is only one right way. There isn’t. It’s a board game. Pass it around to your friends if you want. 

Again, if the planchette moves to all four corners, it means the spirit thinks you’re a moron. You’re more likely to win the lottery than contact something “evil” on a Ouija board.

I’ve never heard “if the planchette tumbles off the board, the soul will get detached” before. What does that mean? That’s funny.

Flipping the planchette over is a) pointless, and b) makes your game way harder to play. There’s never a reason to flip over a planchette. And besides, if you did manage to contact some all powerful evil creature from Hell, will they be like “Oh gosh golly, they turned that piece of plastic upside down, now I’ll never be able to wreck havoc!”

You can leave the planchette wherever you want.

You can ask whatever questions you want, but I do hesitate about asking questions about your future, since spirits don’t have to tell the truth and can say whatever they want. Because, you know, it’s a game, and not meant to be taken seriously. Take it too seriously, and you’re gonna have a bad time.

What kind of benefits can you gain from spirits? Genuinely asking. 

You can play the Ouija board wherever you like, especially in a graveyard, as long as you aren’t trespassing on private property.

And I mean yeah, be respectful, but you should always be respectful when playing a game with strangers, for any game, whether it’s online or in person or with dead people. 

You don’t have to cleanse anything before, during, or after playing. 

The links I included are not sources by any means, it’s me further explaining my points, especially since this post is already very long. Posts like yours are deplorable, since they are only meant to incite fear in playing a board game, and perpetuate stereotypes that were invented by radical Christians and Hollywood movies. Ouija boards are very safe to play, and they were only considered a dangerous demon portal after a movie about that came out. If you believe Ouija boards can get you possessed by demons solely because it happened in a movie, I feel really sorry for you. Logic and common sense are far more powerful than your weird little superstitions about a board game.

@haemoferedoll I GUESS WE GOTTA

[daydreamonelmstreet]

Alright children, gather round.

If you were wondering what this would be like, wonder no more.

Since my best friend and I have a great deal of magickal motivation and are clearly insane, WE COMPLETED THIS READING.

It was roughly 5 hours of direct cardwork and reading, but we took breaks for food and rest, so the total time spent, between taking the cards out of the box and putting them back in, was about 9 HOURS.

(Photo ft. bad lighting and my unbrushed hair.)

I had the privilege of choosing the cards, setting them up, and giving the reading for my much-beloved @haemoferedoll, who was a very patient and open querent.

By the end of the reading, we were decidedly exhausted.  My eyes were blurry, my head was swimming, my brain seemed to have deteriorated into rude, viscous mush, and my throat felt raw and sore from having talked so much.  Even my joints were achy.  I was basically an old crone by the end of it.

But, oh, let me learn you a thing.  THIS SHIT WAS  

E N L I G H T E N I N G.

The cards spelled out a clear story, with significant life lessons, warnings, and even illuminating information about past lives.  I’ve honestly never had a reading with such clear and definitive messages.  It was like the veil just parted to let the universe throw us some handy-dandy-4-1-1.  

For real, the cards were super specific and helpful.

Actually, after we were done, I was told that the reading was “more helpful than years of therapy.”~.  Potential hyperbole aside, I think the reading really did assist real and significant progress for my friend, which I’m wicked pumped about. 

IF YOU WANT TO DO THIS READING YOURSELF, I say to fuckin’ go for it.  It was a great experience as a diviner, an awesome chance to practice, and very affirming of my ability, and @haemoferedoll found it really helpful.  

However, PLEASE read all of the detailed information on the spread and how it works BEFORE you start the reading. If you don’t, you’re gonna have a hell of a bad time.  

Also, be aware that a significant portion of the reading revolves around past lives. If that doesn’t align with your personal beliefs, I would suggest you either skip those parts of the reading, or replace them with specific questions of your own.

ALSO.  I’m pretty sure this reading doesn’t NEED to last so long.  I was extremely thorough, and I’m very picky with choosing cards, so just the process of setting up took almost an hour.  

I also personally went into a lot detail with helping my friend interpret the cards and their story.  If you simply do a quick overview, I bet the reading would be way faster and much less of an ordeal.

For me though, the “ordeal” of it made it an experience.  It was absolutely worth the effort for what I got out of it.

TL;DR: We did the thing.  We liked the thing.  The thing was exhausting.  If you do the thing yourself, do the thing your own way and be smart about it.  

AND LOOK HOW PRETTY IT IS!  #fuckyeahdivination
