How to Use a Spirit Board
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...

The traditional and time honored original William Fuld instructions: circa 1920
William Fuld Created what is now known at the Ouija Board
Place the board upon the knees of two persons, lady and gentleman preferred. Place heart shaped table (the planchette) in the center of the board, resting fingers lightly upon the table so as to allow it to move freely and easily. A question may be asked, and in from one to five minutes the table witll commence to move, at first slowly and then faster. As the table passes over the board, a transparent window or pointer at the top indicates each letter of a message as it is received.
2.
Care should be taken that only one person asks questions at a time so as to avoid confusion.
3.
To obtain the best results it is important that the person present should concentrate upon the matter in question and avoid other topics. Have no person at the table that will not sit seriously and respectfully. If you use it in a frivolous spirit, asking ridiculous questions, laughing over it, you will naturally get undeveloped influences around you.
4.
The Spirit Board is a great mystery, and none claim to give exact directions for it's management and use, and the spirit board will not work equally well under all circumstances. With reasonable patience and judgment the Board will satisfy your greatest expectations.
5.
The board should be kept smooth and free from dust and moisture, as all depends on the ease with which the feet of the table can glide over the surface of the board. Rubbing with a soft dry cloth just before using is advised.

Suggestions:
Two or more people with hands on the planchette make the spirit connection more stable. Our skepticism is somewhat reduced to believe in the movement of the planchette during multiple participant sessions. Our skeptic minds tend to believe that it is someone else in the session moving the planchette. This skepticism allows the spirit to use that belief system, and therefore much easier to move the planchette themselves.
Burning Lavender (incense or herb) tends to welcome benevolent spirits for other realms. Burning frankincense tends to protect the session from not so benevolent ones.
Burning white candles during a Spirit Board session allows white light to protect the participants.
Low lighting in the room creates a better atmosphere for conducting a reading with the Ouiji type Spirit Board.
Using the Spirit Board around midnight seems to create a stronger connection to the spirit realm.
You can use the Spirit Board (Ouiji Board) on a table, or you can sit face to face with another and place it on your knees. I find a table is more stable in that some sessions may be very long, and you may desire to shift your weight or hands often.
It is a good idea to have someone writing down questions and responses. Often spirits speak in an abbreviated code of first letters of words (instead of whole words) and also they may spell things out phonetically. When we see it written out, it becomes more clear.

Wiccan Spirit Board
Here are a few time honored BlackRaven suggestions:
* smudge your board with a sage bundle or any purifying incense (like rosemary, patchoulli, or frankensence)
* light a white candle
* state, in a clear strong voice, that no negative or harmful energies be attracted to your Board
* tell any negative forces that may be present that they are now banished and dismissed
* Some like to say a prayer or some some words of protection prior to using the board
* ask for a helpful and positive entity to make itself know to you before beginning the questions
You can use a spirit or talking board by yourself, but this requires practice and patience for most people. Some are simply unable to get results when working with the board alone. The energy raised by two or more may be needed. All of the above pointers are just suggestions and can be modified as the user sees fit. As with any form of divination, what works for one may not work for another.
Now, whether the hidden knowledge is part of your subconscious or comes from the spirit world is open to your interpretation...
In my opinion after 25 years of experience is that Spirit Boards do work.
A Spirit board will not bring evil spirits!
Unless of course, you really believe that they will...
Spirit boards are nothing more than a tool to access occult knowledge and messages from those on the other side of existance.

My Personal Warnings:
Do NOT use the Spirit Board in graveyards or sights of tragic death. Spirits bound to these places are often very confused and sometimes angry. Using a Spirit Board in these places can open a connection with those spirits to yourself and allow them to bind to you and/or the board.
Do NOT take the Spirit Board lightly; mocking the message deliver can cause unpleasant reactions. The idea here is that do you like to be mocked or taken lightly? Nor do the Spirits.
Do NOT believe everything just because it comes thru on a Spirit Board. When we pass to the other side, we tend to keep our personalities. We can joke, tease, and even lie; as can the spirits that come thru on these boards. They are still human so to speak. An angry human is not likely to mellow in death, although some may.
Take notes during your session, carefully evaluate all the information you get from beyond. If it does not sound right, or feel comfortable, you may want to consider banishing the spirit from contact. You may also want to do a basic cleansing or smudging or your board after a session. By all means test the information you get. Ask questions until you are sure the information you are receiving is consistant.

in reply to Michael Lee Areas of war have a lot of tragedy, anger, and confusion from those that pass to the other side. I would advise you to take precautions, and realize that those that may contact you from the other side might confused or possibly very angry. Those that are angry and have taken the time to learn how to manifest their abilities could "push the limits" between the barrier of our world and theirs.
For those spirits fear is often the catalyst that provides them the "energy" to manifest themselves. The more afraid they make you they more they can actually do, whether that be their ability to show themselves, speak, makes sounds, or move things. Control the fear, and your control their ability to manifest.

in reply to Jennifer Guides often work in the background, sometimes never revealing themselves. It just may be that your guide has not felt the need to reveal his or herself.
Give it time, pay attention to everything around you, because you guide me also be reaching out to you and you are overlooking it. I once spent a whole year watching the cardinals fly up to my window only to eventually open my self to the animal spirit guide of the cardinal.

We had an amazing time we contacted a number of Spirits and had an eventful night with our Fire place playing up the Radio coming on and off and many magnificent energys through out.

Alot of people who i have told some times go funny as they say you dont know what your dealing with. But i would advise any 1 to have a go. Thankyou Mick

in reply to Katie Try a different location. There may be no spirits or at least any with a message to give that are near. Also give it time, maybe the spirits need to learn more about you.

GREAT Lens!! I too use a homemade spirit board for communication purposes. Its nice to read a lens that respects its purpose without scaring people. 5*

Banish the spirit, it can only do to you what you allow it too. Banishing can be successful either by word, ritual, or even focus that you put into it. I would also advise reading my lenses on Working with Thought Form Identities at http://www.squidoo.com/thoughtform and Poltergeists at http://www.squidoo.com/poltergeists Those two lense may provide more insight about the visitor you are having, and those types tend to feed off of fear, just don't give them what they want.

For a long time my girlfriends house has been the scene of some strange stuff... footsteps at night, lights turning on and off, my daughter seemingly "tracking" something round the room and long drawn out scratching from within the walls. used a home made board to attempt to talk and the only words we could get from the spirit were "eyes" and "joker" we asked permission to leave but the spirit replied "no" each time we asked.My partner freaked and let go of the glass. since then the noise and the quite frankly F*c^i"g scary presence has increased. Neither of us want to be in there anymore. Please anyone HELP!!! explainations? advice? regards K

There are good people just as there are bad people. It is all about the choices we make. Dimensional contact is very limited and can only interact to the limits we allow them. Granted there are bad spirits and I choose to commune with a better quality of those that have passed or guides from the other side. And just like if I meet a criminal, I will call the police, I am prepared to call up my guides and banish negative spirits.
The church over 2000 years has done an awesome job to keep people afraid of the unknown. Stop letting fear be the ruler of your mind. Stop letting the corrupt indoctrination of the church to be your guide.

Ouija boards are in fact an opening door into the summoning of spirits past into the astroplane of death. Be careful, they may not know they are dead
and long for attention.You think its cool and fun to summon the dead until they want something from you - and you must not ignore them! Make sure whatever or whoever you invoke you are ready to deal with it/or them. What you don't know can indeed hurt you.
