The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Hello everyone, my friend just bought me a ouji board and i haven't used one before. Tell me should i just give it away or should i keep it? and do you have any personal experiences to share with me

Personally I would give it away, you never know what sort of spirit you might raise from one and it opens a door to all kinds of possibilities some not all good.

I have one myself, but I never use it. I mean I just don't see the point in it. I do believe that you can communicate with spirits with them and I guess they can even be portals to the spirit world or what ever, I just don't use it lol. I mean I don't think it can really cause you any harm if you keep it around but if you use it then I guess that is something else entirely. If you just have it and you aren't using it, then I don't think it is an active portal but if you do use it then I think that spirits can get through.

I think its her old one that she used to use before she got her new one so i am confused as to what to do

Give it away and never touch it! I messed around with one when I was younger with my girlfirend and freaky things started to happen immediately when we started asking what spirits were present. The lights dimmed way down came back on and flickered. It got freaky quiet and chills filled the room and scared the crap out of us. Not even worth trying.

I wouldnt keep that sucker 20 feet from my house,much less in it.

I would keep it. If you do use it make sure to cast a protection circle around it before use. My personal experience with one have been good. I asked what was in my future and it spelled out a name and 6 months later I met my very closest friend with that same name.

Cleanse it before and after every use. The myth is never burn a Ouji Board or you shall hear the witches scream...thought it was a myth to share.

sorry about forgetting the second I there hurtless but you see miss spelled or not they got what my questions entailed.

Well I am not sure, I mean I would probably use it because it seems interesting... But be carefull because you can channel the wrong spirit and it can follow you and haunt you for the rest of your life... My granny had one, one time when she was younger she said it locked the doors to her car and she couldn't breathe then someone came banging at the window and it stopped... So be carefull.

I forgot to mention about cleansing it before and after each use like mysticwinds posted. Since you think it might be your firned's old board definately cleans it first.

in my opinion they are nothing but trouble. i would get rid of it. i have never had a good experience with one nor have i heard of anyone else i know having a good experience. i would get rid of it but thats me.

I would say keep it, but only because it may have sentimental value to your friend and he/she may get upset if you get rid of it. If you decide you don't want it, maybe it would be best to give it back to who you got it from.

As far as my own personal experiences with Ouija boards, they were good for fun, but I wouldn't use them as my main way for spirit communication.

I would keep it in a safe place and never use it. I wouldn't want to open something I cannot close.

I would cleanse it with lots of sage.
then if you decide to keep it, store it in a black pillow case and add some dry sage or sweetgrass or cedar or all three into the case (unburnt loose herb)
cleanse it, after every use.
cast a circle around you and the board before using.

my best friend and i used one when we were in high school. we had a friend that had died in a car wreck , he came and tried to take her back with him. i will never use one again. and i know people that have tried to get rid of them and couldnt, they burned it and it came back, they buried it and it came back. so just be very careful with it if u choose to keep it.

those are not good to play with you never know what kinda spirit your gonna get to come though

It's a tool. You use it to focus your mind and get answers to things, much like Tarot cards, only in a slightly different way.

There's nothing inherantly bad in using it. If you want to use it, just make sure that it is cleansed as someone else said above (I would do that for any divinatory item I purchased or made in any case) and don't get freaked by things when/if they happen.

I never have used one, but from what i have heard about them i wouldn't use it, especially if you have no experience. If you want to try it out, i would suggest having someone there who has lots of knowledge and experience in their use.

Think wisely.

Very nice... well it is your choice... lots of good information on cleansing and protection spells. But I see it also as a tool, just like my tarot cards, scrying mirror, I Ching and Neconomicon. Use after checking into proper use and then decide for yourself... Blessings.

I recomend you buy your own!! cause the 1 she or he gave you might be dangerious and there trying to get rid of it to you not cool but I wouldnt do it if It was me alot of bad karma comes from them and plus spirts lie !! and may say things that sound true but really arent and can have very negitive responces if not in the right hands.!! JMO

If you believe it could bring in bad spirits or harm you, then I would indeed recommend you give it away or throw it away, whatever you prefer. Anything you feel uncomfortable owning you have a right to get rid of.

I have never had an ouji board and I don't want one. I have heard of a few people using them and opening portals and letting spirits into their home.

Get rid of it. Nothing good will come from a ouji board

Get rid of it. If you want to contact spirits, do it another way...I don't trust ouji boards, they've always given me a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.

get rid of it if you are scared of it if not have your friend show you how to cleanse and use it misuse can lead to very evil and bad things to come

They can be very dangerous. I personaly own one. I've had bad experiences with it.

Sell it on EBay with some story about how it was used to conjure up the ghost of Jimmy Hoffa and he confirmed he was buried in the east end zone of Giant Stadium... it'll go for about $40, plus shipping and handling...

Burn it.

LOL it will come back if you burn it!!! tear it in pieces then burn it.!!

the only time i used one it scared me really bad. i would give it away. to many unwanted portals can open up.

I say keep it. You can leave it out on your coffee table when you are entertaining guests. That is worth something.

well I would give it away and I say that because when I was younger one attacked my mom who is american Indian and she always said that they are the portal to spirits evil as well as good and well the pointy thing flew across the room and stabbed her in the collarbone.. true story I am afraid of them they are dangerous... in my opinion.

Dispite what others keep saying about not keeping it, the ouija board is in fact a door way, but only if you let it.

My own personal experiances with a ouija? Well, I have one in particular to share...A friend of mine had one sitting on top of her icebox, I asked about it, when she told me she did not believe in such hooey, I chuckled and asked her to bring it down so I could show her.

We had at least 4 individuals working their hands at the same time, I was the channeler.

I let them know that if they wanted proof then they would have to let me summon the entity, then to leave the ouija alone. After about 10 minutes of ignoring the board without closing the table, the ouija pointer shot across the room into the kitchen.

After this, we immediately closed the circle, needless to say, they were pretty freaked out.

Bare in mind, that if you do not know how to use a oija, opening or closing, let alone by yourself, then look it up either online, or from a book. Other than that, good luck.

Every month there seems to be a thread on this subject. There are enough posts here to answer your question.
