What is a Spirit Board

Information of Spirit Boards

Did you know that the first Talking Boards were produced prior to 1890? There are references to similar mediums being used by the early Egyptians, Greeks, Babylonians, and even the Witches of the Middle Ages. By the 1920's their popularity was so great that many large newspapers ran articles and regular columns dealing with the phenomena of Talking Boards.

The spirit board we know and recognize today (originally manufactured from around the 1850's), were more successful, and made communication easier to understand than the table tapping which went before, (…one tap for yes, two taps for no). MY Oxford English Dictionary describes the Ouija as: A Trademark - A board marked with letters and signs over which a pointer is moved to indicate supposed messages from spirits. Some people will argue that communication with the Ouija board - classically, a wooden board decorated with the letters of the alphabet, the numbers 0-9 and the words YES and NO, was around before that time. According to Harpers, similar apparatus was used to communicate with the dead as early as 551BC!

Before the process of assembly line production took over, it was extremely important for the boards to be made of real wood. It was always the belief of the ancients that wood held certain magical qualities.

Spirit communication appears to have moved on to sophisticated new level, as the following example shows. At the beginning of 1993, a group of friends in the Norfolk town of Scole, (The Scole Experiment, By Jane & Grant Solomon), conducted a five-year investigation into life-after-death using a variety of spirit communication tools. The group produced some startling after-life evidence including impressive 'light shows', images on factory-sealed photographic film. Solid objects and even people appeared to materialise for the group. The spirits themselves communicated instructions for the building of complex contact devices for their own use! The Scole group were taken so seriously that electrical engineers, psychologists and astrophysicists were amongst those asked to participate, test and record what took place. Participants were convinced that discarnate intelligences were making direct contact with those present!

The Spirit Board is a tool to access occult knowledge. The standard definition of the word 'occult' is "hidden". That's it! Nothing evil or wicked is implied in the word.

Now, whether the hidden knowledge is part of your subconscious or comes from the spirit world is open to your interpretation...

Spirit boards DO work.
They will NOT bring evil spirits or bad luck into your life.
Unless of course, you really believe that they will...


Spirit boards are not the tool of the devil. I'm sure that Satan has better things to do than hang around your Spirit board. Besides, everyone knows that the tool of Satan is a Phillips Screwdriver...
