Ouija boards are a fun and exciting way to connect with spirits, but if used improperly, they can attract malicious and unwanted souls to your home as well. This article will tell you how to use an Oujia board safely.
Steps
Part 1 of 3: Finding the Right Environment
Step 1. Find a quiet place where there are no distractions
You need to focus to get in touch with the spirit world and it will be much easier if you are in a quiet environment. Here are some suggestions:
- Natural environments, such as near a pond, river, or lake. You can also organize the session inside a cave.
- Places that recall happy memories, especially for you such as: gardens, gazebos or your wedding venue.
- Places where you feel safe and comfortable, such as the living room, study or kitchen.
Step 2. Don't use the board in the bedroom
If you connect with an evil spirit, its energy may stay in the room interfering with your dreams and everyday life.
Step 3. Don't use the board in a graveyard
Haunted places or places where a death has occurred are bad ideas. You may think it is "cool" or "spooky", in reality you are getting into trouble because in these places you are more likely to encounter an evil entity. In short, something you certainly don't want.
Step 4. Purify the space around you
This way you get rid of all the negative energy that can attract bad spirits. Here are some ideas to start with:
- Arrange some quartz crystals around the table. Their function is to purify and maintain energy. You can also use hematite, obsidian, or kyanite for protection.
- Light black candles to absorb evil energies. You can turn on the white ones to attract the positive ones.
- Burn lavender incense sticks to attract gentler spirits. You can also use Frankincense, Myrrh, or Dragon's Blood to gain protection from not-so-benevolent entities. During magical rites, bunches of sage are commonly used as protection.
- Draw a circle around you and the table using sea salt.
Step 5. Consider cleansing the board, especially if you haven't used it in a while
There are several ways to proceed, most people purify it before and after use, particularly when encountering evil spirits during the ritual. Here's how to do it:
- Burn some incense or a bunch of sage. Let the smoke cover the board and the pointer. Trace a circle around it using your finger or wand, finally light a black candle. The purpose of the candle is to absorb negative energies. Then close your eyes and imagine a bright light. After a moment, open them, blow out the candle, and then throw or bury it. When finished, draw a new circle around the board using a wand or your finger.
- Sprinkle the table with rose water as you say a simple prayer of protection. You can also come up with your own. Here is an example: "I purify this space of all negative energies. I release it from the energies of people or things that have nothing to do with this house. I ask that this purification be gentle and that all this energy go back to where it came from.".
Part 2 of 3: Assuming the Right Attitude
Step 1. Use the board when you are in a good mood
Don't take it when you are angry, bored or depressed. Spirits feed on energy and if you try to use the board when you are in a bad mood then you may be facing an evil entity.
You should avoid using the board even when you are anxious or scared. An evil spirit could use your fear against you
Step 2. Don't start a Ouija board session when you are sick or tired
Your condition would not allow you to concentrate properly and you would be an easy target for evil entities who can take advantage of the situation to possess you.
Step 3. Start a session with good intentions
Do not use the board to spy on someone or to know their weaknesses. You don't even have to use it to ask a spirit to take over someone or ruin their life. Revenge might seem like a good idea, but it will have serious repercussions on both you and your victim.
Step 4. Do not drink alcohol and do not use drugs before the session
These substances reduce your level of alertness about your surroundings, making the situation very dangerous. When dealing with spirits and their world, you need to constantly maintain focus.
Step 5. Purify yourself spiritually before using the board
This way you disperse the negative energies that plague you. A relaxed state of mind may help. Again there are some tips about it:
- Meditate. Try to visualize yourself surrounded by bright light.
- Say a prayer of protection. You can compose the prayer you prefer. For example, you can say a few simple words such as: "May only positive energies surround me. May only good intentions be within me. May my mind and body be calm and at peace."
- Take a bath with herbs or salt. Scented herb is best suited in these circumstances, while sea salt is definitely the best type to use.
Part 3 of 3: What to do and what to avoid
Step 1. Always use the board in a group and never when you are alone
This is a safety policy in case something happens and you are unable to end the session. There are also practical implications: you need other people to gather and channel the energy. Organize a session with a group of 3-5 people. Here's how it should be composed:
- A person handles the pointer and asks questions to the spirits.
- One to three people must touch the pointer. They will just focus their energy without asking questions.
- One person will take care of recording the session or taking notes. By doing so, the group will have the opportunity to analyze the responses of the spirit at a later time.
Step 2. Always check the pointer
This is a very important element that helps the spirit communicate with you. Typically the spirit will move it to a number or letter, but in other cases it may use it for other purposes. Here's what you need to pay attention to:
- If the pointer starts to move along the alphabet or over sequential numbers, then the spirit is counting down, after which the pointer will slide off the table. You have to end the session before this happens.
- If the pointer moves to each corner of the board, you have encountered an evil spirit. End the session immediately.
- If it begins to draw "eights", it means that the evil entity has taken control of the table. Flip the pointer over and end the session.
- Never let the pointer fall to the ground, otherwise it will release the spirit that moves it.
- Never leave the pointer on the table at the end of a session. Always put it in its bag and store it somewhere else in the room. If it is on the table and no one is using it, turn it over and end the session. Then place it on the opposite side of the room from the table.
Step 3. Learn what you can't ask the spirits and what topics to avoid
There are some things you shouldn't talk about when using a Ouija board. You must also carefully read the responses of the spirit. If you feel like he's bothered by a question, change the subject. In general, you should always avoid:
- God and religion;
- Your death;
- Where is a buried treasure;
- Your name or the names of the group members.
Step 4. Know what you can ask and which arguments are acceptable
Most people ask spirits questions about the spirits themselves, such as their name or gender. Some inquire about how their death occurred, such as the reason for death, age, year, and how it happened. You don't have to ask these questions; you can also inquire if the spirit has a message to communicate to someone or if there is something they want you or a group member to do. Here are other topics you can address:
- What were the hobbies of the spirit or what he liked to do;
- Whether he always resides in the realm of the living or not;
- Where he lived;
- What was his family and his home.
Step 5. Remember that the dead, just like the living, can tell lies
You shouldn't believe everything a spirit tells you, especially if you have the impression that it is a malicious or malicious entity.
Step 6. Always behave courteously and end the session by saying hello
Sometimes it is the spirit that ends the session. If not, you must move the pointer over the word "Goodbye". This is an important detail, if you do not respect it you will leave the door open between the world of spirits and that of the living and other entities could use it to enter the house.
- Remember to thank the spirit for its time and say goodbye.
- Respect the spirits, do not annoy them, do not make them angry and do not irritate them.
Step 7. Know when to end the session
In some cases it is necessary to end the session early, especially if you or one of your friends start to feel strange or if the environment becomes abnormal. If this happens, you have to move the pointer over the word "Goodbye", turn it upside down and remove it from the board. In this way you break all spiritual connections. There are other things you need to be aware of:
- Always stay calm. If you panic, you may forget what you need to do. Also your fear will be felt and the spirits will use it to their advantage.
- If the spirit starts getting angry or cursing, apologize and end the session. An angry spirit is also dangerous.
- If the spirit, at any time, uses your name, it means it is becoming dangerous. You should end the session immediately.
Step 8. Put away the board and pointer when you're done using them
Put the board in a clean place and make sure there are no other interfering objects. Place the pointer in a cloth bag and store it separately from the table. Do not place it on top of it, otherwise you risk leaving open access to the spirit world.
Advice
- The pointer can also be an "automatic writing tablet".
- Always keep a positive attitude. Spirits feed on energy, if you start a session with a negative soul, you will invite evil entities.
- Everyone who takes part in the session must believe in the power of the table; if they don't believe, nothing will happen.
- Arrange some items around the table to attract benevolent spirits. These include silver, oyster shells, mirrors, willow branches and leaves and crystals such as quartz, selenite and amethyst. You can also use herbs like lavender, mugwort, and wormwood.
- "Reload" the board from time to time. You can do this by exposing it to sunlight with some quartz crystals. Remember to leave the pointer near the board and not on top of it. Quartz crystals amplify the strength of the lunar energy and help recharge the table.
- Don't be ashamed to leave the lights on. Spirits feed on energy and perceive fear. The more scared you are, the more vulnerable you will be to evil spirits who will see you as a good target. If you need more light to feel safe, leave them on.
- The best time to use a Ouija board is in the evening, near midnight.
- The connection with the spirit world is most intense in autumn and winter, as well as in the summer and winter solstice. During the Celtic New Year (Halloween) a strong connection can be established.
Warnings
- Always move the pointer over the word "Goodbye" before ending the session, especially if the spirit itself does not.
- Never leave the pointer on the board when you are not using it.
- Never ask a spirit to possess you or to manifest.
- Never ask questions with inappropriate words as you may irritate the spirits.
- Don't allow the spirit to move the pointer off the board.
- If the spirit has taken over the table, don't burn it as the spirit may haunt you. On the contrary, break or cut the board into seven fragments, sprinkle it with holy water and bury it.
- Don't abuse the table. It is a tool that drains your energies and those of the spirit. Limit yourself to sessions of an hour or two per week.
