Welcome to Gaia! ::

The only ting I really know about those boards is that you have to burn them in order to get rid of them...and that they bring some pretty bad karma into ones home with them...

From what I've heard, burning is the last thing you should do. You whould break them into eight pieces and bury them.

You people are funny. Of course the spirits you summon would get annoyed by you if you summon them with no actual need. It's not a game but more like a telephone you can use to ask a spirit to come over to help you with a problem. And those spirits are just like any human being, they have feelings and they can get angry if you just order them around and act rude. I hope you now understand that all those who "play" Ouija are actually giving the poor spirit a jokecall.

Imagine this situation, a demon or spirit or whatever you are summoning with an Ouija board is relaxing, maybe reading a good book and having a snack. He/she hears his/her phone ringing and answers it. There is a brat asking for him/her to come over. He/She is in good mood and goes to see what's going on just to find a couple of brats playing around and giggling like it's a good joke to "play" Ouija even if their parents have fobidden it and like summoning a spirit was all cool and funny. Then they start telling the spirit it must answer their questions. This would tick you off too now wouldn't it?

Most of those horror stories are just propaganda, but some might be real. Spirits rarely feel like slaughtering people for playing a bad joke, but they might cause some ruckus for ruining their day. That girl's boyfriend would most likely have died even if the girl didn't use Ouija board, the spirits just told her the truth.

Will is one of your strongest weapons, thekarns. Will is one of the three most important incredients in magic, with willpower, you can contact demons and angels, as well as those who have already departed this world. With willpower you can walk even when your legs are numb and bleeding, at least in my experience anyway. You can contact spirits without a board, the board just helps to concentrate.

I've had the same experience. I was trying to get some serious answers, but I got stuck with a group of idiots who just wanted to play with fire, annoying pack of giggling teen boppers...

Now I've had an actually nice experience, I tried it with my roommate and an experienced satanist and we got some answers to our questions, no one has died, no objects flying, no accidents and no spirits remaining at our house. Some of the answers surprised us greatly, but no, we didn't ask when we will die or if the spirits would like to manifest themselves in the mirror, we had certain questions we needed to have answered.

It's safe, if you know what you're doing, can act properly and have an actual need for calling the spirits you're calling.
