How to use OUJIA BOARD

Create the Ambience

Grab a few friends. Technically, Ouija can be played alone, but it's best to play with at least one other person. Especially if it's a dark and stormy night.

Be patient. Sometimes the board needs a minute to warm up. You may not get answers right away. Don't give up.

If your board seems a bit sleepy, move around the planchette lightly in a circular motion and resume.

Be polite. If you are speaking to a highly communicative spirit, talk to it! Be friendly. This will encourage him/her to cooperate with you.You may not get the answers you want. This is not the spirit or the board's fault. Getting angry or violent will just ruin the vibe of the game and the room.

Start simply. It's best not to bombard your spirit with questions on the content and length of your next history exam. Start simple, like a normal conversation. 

ASK

• Your first questions should have easy, short answers.
  • How many spirits are in the room?
  • Are you a good spirit?
  • What is your name?

Don't ASK

               

• Don't ask silly or stupid questions. "What did Billy tell his sister about me?" is not something your spirit may want to waste time on. Not to mention how long it would take to spell the answer out!
• Don't ask for physical signs. That's just asking for trouble. What's more, those you're communicating with may not be able to follow up. It's best to keep it contained within the Ouija.
• Don't believe everything the board tells you. If it says you're going to die in the next ten minutes, just don't go running in front of buses. That's you fulfilling the prophecy, not the prophecy being correct.
  

Concentrate. To get the best, most effective results, all players need to clear their minds and focus on the question at hand.

• Everyone playing needs to sit seriously and respectfully. If you have a friend who is laughing or encouraging ridiculous questions, kick them out of the room.
• As the planchette moves, you may want to have one person serve as the writer. Sometimes responses get quite lengthy and need to be worked out.

Tips

• If at anytime you get scared or feel that the session is getting out of hand, simply close the board by moving the pointer to "Goodbye" and say, "We're leaving now. Rest in peace."
• To prevent calling a bad spirit, put a silver coin on the board. By this way, no evil spirits nor demons will bother you.
• It will work only if your mind is open to it; don't expect an outcome if your energy is negative and not open to such things.
• Light a single white candle. White in witchcraft is used for protection and purity; even though black is used for energy, it is also used for dark, evil, and black magic.
• The sun and moon identify what kind of spirit is contacting you. If it comes from the sun it is good, if from the moon, it is bad. If you get a bad spirit, thank the spirit for its time and say goodbye. When the planchette lands on goodbye, it means the bad spirit is gone.
• Before you start the session, sit in a circle, hold hands and say, "Let there be no evil forces or demons."
• If the pointer repeatedly goes to eight, the spirit is angry. Eights are considered unlucky after "Wild Bill" Hickok's death hand of aces and eights. Somehow this superstition has found its way into Ouija lore. Don't worry about it unless you're a gunfighter and are using your Ouija board in Deadwood, South Dakota^[1].
• A lot of people may advise you that Ouija boards are a waste of money, and you're better off making your own. When making your own, you need to write: yes, no, the numbers 0-9, letters A-Z, and Goodbye. You can also add other words like maybe orsometimes to the side of the board. Of course, there's always online.
