*stands in front of the hornet’s nest and looks up*

Ouija boards, talking boards, and spirit boards are magical methods of communication. They are not inherently evil.

They are not automatically portals to the Christian Hell, to Christian demons, or to any interactions with demons, wanted or unwanted.

They are a technology, and nothing more.

You’re just scared of them because of The Exorcist and other lazy Hollywood tropes.

Tarot cards are not dangerous.
Ouija boards are not dangerous.
Divination and spirit communication tools do not open things or summon things.
Stop letting Hollywood scare you. It’s not real.

I would really like to emphasis that ouija boards are not dangerous

I’ve been thinking about getting a Ouija Board and I would like to hear everyone’s thoughts. There’s a cool secondhand one from the 80′s but would you get a new one or a used one and are Ouija Boards as dangerous as everyone makes them out to be and are the stories about them true? I was raised Catholic myself and was taught they were bad however I’m Pagan now and I’m conflicted about them now tbh. If you have stories or advice lmk please!

Stay Spooky-

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.
