I would love one, to talk to loved ones (you all know who I mean) and stuff, but it's so dangerous! I discovered a Samhain spell, but it was in one of those terrible 'The Complete Guide to Being a Witch for Fluffies' books, so I don't know, even if I change the wording (bad rhyming), etc, etc, if it will work. I would love it to, even if I'm not experienced enough for it to anyway.

The reason I liked it a bit is because it was inside a circle and had loads of protectiveness and only inviting or remebering certain people.

What do you think?

I've heard much stuff about these boards to try them myself. Things like people making fun of them, taunting something to show itself to them, and then that person waking up later that night in an ice cold room with a black form grabbing them.

I do believe demons exist, and something like that, while it may let you communicate with loved ones, also opens the door to demons, and demons lie, all they know are lies, they'll tell you what you want to hear just to draw you in....

Call me a coward, but I prefer to be on the side of caution

My friends and I have wisely stopped using Ouija boards. The first time I used one with my friends I got chest pains and they told me that using a ouija board is allowing spirits a pathwat to contact you and they can cause you pain. I also learned that when you ask a spirit to show you a sign you are opening up a doorway that you may not be able to close. Sadly, unhappy spirits are most commonly contacted through the ouija board, this can be because of the user's state of mind or their location. If you insist on using a board I would suggest using it in a circle but even then it's still risky, from my experiences. I don't think using a board is any different from using other forms of divination except it calls on other spirits to answer your questions instead of your subconcious. It's not a toy.

But can spirits cross over and try to talk to us of their own free will?Or do they have to be "summoned"?Also, does the nature of a person change when he/she dies?Like, supposing a dear granparent of mine dies, will she be the lovable person he/she was in life, or become something ,er, dark and unnatural on death?

I agree 100% with Moonlit and Tinesvice. I won't have one in my home and I won't participate. I talk to enough dead people as it is without inviting just any old spirit in.

I totally agree. I mean not all spirits are good and not all of them tell the truth. I say if there is a safer way... go for it instead

[BlackenedRose]

Yeah...I don't have one either, I'm just considering other possibilities. But I suppose it's not sensible to risk it.

ICKIE ICKIE ICKIE!!!! I refuse to use Ouija boards! Nasty, nasty, nasty! I had a demon come and claim to be an angel at a party (I was just watching others use the board). When questions didn't get answered, the board suddenly started claiming that there was an old chimney in the backyard where a murderer had lived and that we should all go out to see it...and then all sorts of horrible words and descriptions of hell started popping up. When asked it's name even worse things were revealed.

Never, never, never play with them. EVER!
Please.

It'd be pretty cool to make an ouija board out of chocolate! (lol) I bet everyone would want one then! I should make a mold and create stuff like that and open a website called "Candy For Witches"

A person I know, (an adult) told me about an experience they had with a ouija board....she was contacted by the not-so-friendly spirit who claimed to be the unborn child she had aborted.....

I refuse to use ouija boards, I had a bad experience with it, I would say it's been about a good 10yrs ago, Myself and my ex purchased one. When the time came to ask it something like show us a sign the " cursor" (dont know what you call it) moved! I was freaked! well we put it in the closet and all that night we felt a uneasyness in the house coming from the closet i felt like we really invited something evil in the house. Needless to say i threw it away the next morning. I will not ever use that again. They really do work if you ask my opinion, but you never know who or what you're inviting from the "other side"
I would advise people not to use them.

I don't know, but I guess spirits can tell fibbies just as well as we can. Not that I'm discounting it, not at all because you are probably right, but maybe it's a meanie ghost telling lies. I can't see why a baby would be so cruel....unless the aborting thing.....I'm going to shut up now.

[the_learning_one]

In my expeirience iwont use the board... My stepsister, had an evil account with it.. And ever since She used it that house has something wierd about it.. If you want to know the story in full detail message me but i dont want to go allinto it.. I still get scared thinking about it!

[wait until dark]

[Elizabeth_Bennet]
