Ouija Board

The Ouija Board, from the French oui (yes) and the German ja (yes), is a board equipped with the alphabet and numbers to establish contact with the spirits. It is very similar to the cup game, in which a cup is placed upside down surrounded by the letters of the alphabet and the participants place the index finger on the same base.

History
Already Pythagoras (540 BC) used a similar artifact when he gathered in "circles" in which "a mystical tablet that moved with wheels" made signs that the philosopher and one of his students interpreted to the audience as revelations of the invisible world.

In China, before the birth of Confucius, something similar was used, which seemed to be a "non-dangerous" way of communicating with the spirits of the dead. Original board created in 1891. In 1853, in France, the "spiritualist" M. Planchette, designed a Ouija board similar to the one that is popular today. Elija J. Nond, in the USA, made variations on it; William Fuld bought the rights from it and a year later patented it. Finally, in 1966, "Parker Brothers" bought the rights to the Ouija board and has been its manufacturer ever since. However, the Ouija board, in different versions, has become so popular that it can be obtained by countless means.

Now there is a new version of the Ouija board for the 21st century in which it is played by means of a computer. There is a version in which the player's responses are manipulated without the player's knowledge. Other versions give answers chosen by the computer at random.

Description
The Ouija board has a movable pointer, triangular or otherwise, it can also be an empty glass, in the middle of the game board. All players put their index fingers on the triangle. On each side of the board there is a yes and, on the other side, a no; above a hello and below a goodbye and in a circular shape the letters of the alphabet. To start the game, each participant asks a question and waits for the pointer to move to one letter, then another, until a coherent word is formed.

There are those who try to purify the environment by burning incense or aromatic plants, others invoke the angels and guardian saints, there are also those who previously make a power wheel to charge the room with positive energy that covers the place of protection against bad influences and contacts.

The contact, after a mental relaxation of its participants begins with a question, usually the question is: is there someone there? and if there is an answer, the questions and answers begin between the participants and the entity contacted. The tablet will move indicating letter by letter the final content of the message. On many occasions it is any of the participants who voluntarily or involuntarily, consciously or unconsciously moves the tablet and creates or misrepresents the message, in this case the contact is not real.

Dangers
The Ouija board aims to contact, with or without going into a mental trance, of the people who participate in the game with spirits, deceased people and pets, and even with extraterrestrial beings.

Numerous testimonies indicate that the ouija, when it works, can, at first, be an attractive message; but sooner or later advice contrary to morality, incitement to pride, unhealthy curiosity, etc. appear. It progressively leads to threats, suggestions to cause violence, suicide, despair or presumption, invitations to disobey God in exchange for some offer of wealth and wealth. The results can be, for example, obsessions, anxiety, panic attacks, illnesses and mental disorders. In many cases, the subject becomes addicted to the Ouija board and loses his discernment in such a way that he justifies the use of it even when he perceives serious damage to his person. With vice, the oppression of the devil increases. There are alarming testimonies of people overcome by panic, unable to sleep, and plunged into despair.

It should be noted that, even if the Ouija board is used out of curiosity, it is making its way for the devil and it is not surprising that the person is spiritually affected. The good that the subject thought to perceive is not achieved, it turns out to be a deception.
