So You Want to Make a Ouija Board?
But if you are one of the brave ones and ready to embark on a mystical adventure, fasten your seat belts. Making a basic ouija board is a relatively simple task. They can be made out of literally any material: scrap wood, cardboard, whatever your flavor...anything goes. Read on, because I am about to tell you how to make your very own ouija board.
Design
The ouija board you make can be as basic or complex in design as you want. I suggest taking a look at all of the wonderful types of talking boards at Museum of Talking Boards to get some ideas for layouts and designs, then come up with something original that reflects something about you. Museum of Talking Boards is an incredible site about Talking Boards of all kinds; I highly recommend you check it out if you haven't already.TIP: To make your talking board using some of traditional talking board style letters, visit Harold's Fonts for some free downloads. Three ouija fonts that are available are Cap'n Howdy, Mystick Prophet, and Sideshow. You certainly don't have to limit yourself to these three, however, as there are hundreds to choose from.
To make your own talking board you will need:
A pair of scissors
An A4 sheet of card (or bigger)
A pen or a marker
A glass or a penny.
Glue (optional)
Directions
- Start by writing out all of the letters in one or two rows, making sure that the characters are large enough to read. You can use any of the pictures on this page as a point of reference as to their placement.
- In the row below that write the numbers 0-9.
- Write out "Yes", "No" and "Goodbye" symbols, which will make communicating with the spirits easier. You can add any other phrases you wish.
- Cut out the characters, numbers, words, and phrases.
- Adhere them with glue to the paper according to your desired layout.
- Viola! You are ready to have your first talking board seance!

The Planchette
A planchette is a triangular or heart-shaped piece of wood (now they use plastic -ughh) supported by castors which moves to spell out messages, or answer questions. Paranormal advocates believe that the planchette is moved by some extra-normal force. Planchettes can be any kind of pointing device for similar purposes. Users rest their fingertips on the planchette and it is moved around the board in response to questions posed. Used since the beginning of the Spiritualism movement of the mid-nineteenth century, planchettes predate the invention of spirit boards.You will need a planchette to go with your ouija board. You can use a dish, a coin, or a small glass turned upside down as your planchette.

Is the Ouija Board Dangerous?
The board itself is not dangerous, but the form of communication that you are attempting often is. Most often the spirits whom are contacted through the Ouija are those whom reside on the lower astral plane. These spirits are often very confused and may have died a violent or sudden death; murder, suicide, etc. Therefore, many violent, negative and potentially dangerous conditions are present to those using the board. Often times several spirits will attempt to come through at the same time but the real danger lies when you ask for physical proof of their existence! You might say, "Well, if you really are a spirit, then put out this light or move that object!" What you have just done is opened a doorway between the physical and spiritual world and allowed them to enter. As a result, future problems can and often do arise.The best indicator as to whether or not using a channeling board of any kind is a good thing to do is your intuition. If it doesn't feel right to you, don't use it. It's that simple.
