Basic Necromancy: An Ouija Spell
The use of an Ouija Board, Talking Board or Spirit Board is among the simplest and most basic forms of necromancy. While the use of a spell is not always necessary to use an Ouija Board, preparatory spellwork takes a lot of the guesswork out of the communication, helping to ensure that you are only talking to spirits which you want to communicate with, as well as laying a contingency to make sure no spirits linger beyond their intended communication. This spell is no substitute for knowing and understanding the basic operation of an Ouija Board, however, so always make sure you fully understand how to use the board, as you would with any other tool. That being said, so long as you understand what you are doing, you will be in absolutely no danger from using an Ouija Board, to spite what popular culture would have you believe.
First, you must have an Ouija Board and Planchette (or a small, clear glass like a shot glass to be used as a planchette. The board doesn’t have to be a ‘proper’ board either; even a piece of paper with the appropriate letters and words written out will work just fine. Just make sure you have The full alphabet, numbers 0-9, “Hello”, “Goodbye”, “Yes” and “No”.) Additionally, you will need some dried Wormwood, wormwood incense, or Wormwood candles, as well as two black candles, and a lighter or matches. If using dried wormwood, you will also want a fire-safe bowl or incense holder.
Before beginning, cover all mirrors in the ritual space with cloth (If doing the ritual in your home, cover all mirrors in the house). Place the candles on either side of the Ouija Board. Put the Wormwood in the bowl and light it. Holding the bowl with smoldering wormwood, slowly walk in circles around the board, making sure to encompass the area that all participants will sit. Walk in a counter-clockwise pattern, encircling the area a total of four times. As you do this, you may evoke the names of any you wish, especially deities of death.
When you have completed the circle, set the remaining wormwood to smolder near the board and have all participants sit around the board, then you will place the planchette in the middle of the board and have all participants place their fingertips on the planchette. Proceed to say the following incantation in a loud, clear voice to evoke the spirits to communicate.
Veni mortuus spiritu. Veni mundus spiritu. Veni caelorum spiritu.
We call and invite you to this space, at this time, to commune.
Visitas nos venit (Full name of the deceased to be communicated with*) spiritu!
If you are having trouble making contact, you may repeat the above incantation as many times as you wish until you get a response. When you have finished speaking with any spirits using the board, place the Planchette on the “Goodbye” and say the following incantation as you extinguish the candles and incense.
Exite (full name of the deceased*) spiritu!
Our visitation has come to an end.
Exite caelorum spiritu. Exite mundus spiritu. Exite mortuus spiritu.
Return now from where you’ve come. I command you now, go in peace and do not linger.
If you continue to sense spirits, repeat the incantation loudly and firmly until you feel the spirit has left the space. Once the spirit has left, it is safe to uncover the mirrors and put away the board.
*If the name of the spirit is unknown and the spirit dwells in your house, substitute the name with “domus”
