The Strange History and Mystery of the Ouija Board

Does the Ouija Board really communicate with spirits or is it just a harmless game?

The first advertisements started to appear in papers by 1891: “Ouija, the Wonderful Talking Board". The board was described as magical because it answered questions “about the past, present and future with marvelous accuracy”. It’s price was $1.50.
The Ouija board (pronounced Wee-ja) is a flat board marked with the letters of the alphabet, numbers 0-9, and the words “yes”, “no”, and  “hello”, “goodbye”. The invention of the original design in still unknown.
The Ouija board was, at first, regarded as a harmless parlor game. It’s popularity grew out of the strong American 19th century obsession with spiritualism - the belief that the living are able to communicate with the dead.
The first patent was granted in 1891 to Elijah J. Bond as the inventor. Bond’s sister-in-law, Helen Peters (who was reportedly a “strong medium”), is credited for naming the board. While using the board, they asked what it should be named. The word “Ouija” was spelled out and when asked what that meant, the board replied, “Good Luck.”
To this day, mainstream religions and some occultists have associated the use of the Ouija board with the threat of demonic possession and have cautioned their followers not to use them.

Many believe that evil spirits, disguising themselves as deceased friends or family members, can trick the users of the board and unwittingly invite “them” into their homes. To be rid of such hauntings, Ouija “experts” advise either to burn the board or dispose of it in a lake since spirits supposedly cannot cross water.

We all haunt in the sky at night Under a sea of clouds I fight For the wind, my love, as she tumbles

Can you see the Old Victorian Ladies Face etched in by natural design? - I started carrying this around everywhere with me after I picked it up from a local crystal shop & went to walk into our basement & stopped dead in my tracks & started staring at this sphere… Realizing that there is a perfect face inside this Black Moonstone.

What a haunting & irreplaceable stone △ I wouldn’t sell this for anything - There is something too special about it
