| Questions raised when using a Ouija board and | | | | and so I believe they can hold their own anyway. |
| answers provided based on my own experiences: | | | | Will I be judged for using a board when I die? |
| Is the board evil or dangerous? | | | | In a word, no... unless you hold incredible guilt for the |
| I never really understood this question. No the board is | | | | rest of your life for using one then you will make your |
| not dangerous. I have had a couple of very strong | | | | own judgement. |

| arrogant but I have never experienced any danger as | | | | are they? |
| such. Of course, there are negative/evil spirits out | | | | You can buy them anywhere these days and prices |
| there, just as you have evil people in this world, but | | | | vary. You can also make one yourself or download |
| remember spirits are all around us, everywhere, all the | | | | one from the web which usually consists of two A4 |

| a car will I have an accident". | | | | What happens if the board says that I am going to die |
| How do I contact someone I knew? | | | | or something bad is going to happen? |

| How will I know that my friends or perhaps even | | | | touching it? |
| myself are not pushing the planchette or glass?You will | | | | No, it is not possible. Spirits require your energy to |
| never know if someone else is pushing it, you need to | | | | move the planchette and even this is extremely tiring |
| trust your instinct. As long as you rest your fingertips | | | | and exhausting for them. It is virtually impossible for a |

| This is not always possible. You cannot expect too | | | | Actually, probably not. They are your guides to guide |
| much from what you receive through the board and | | | | your spirit and higher self. It is rare for them to make |

| bear in mind that any information you receive through | | | | I am under 18, can I use a board? |
| the board may not be truthful. | | | | For your own safety I would advise against using a |
| How do I know if the spirit is telling the truth? | | | | board until you are mentally, emotionally and spiritually |
| You must always be very careful and never take any | | | | mature enough to hold control over the board and |
| information you receive as gospel. Write it all down, | | | | over yourself. There is a reason why the age 18 was |

| then I advise caution. | | | | Safety Note: |
| What do I do if I feel unsafe? | | | | Do not use the board for longer than an hour and a |
| Most spirits can only linger for a couple of minutes as it | | | | half. This is exhausting for both yourself and the spirits, |

| eBay, for example, or any new age shop) and wafting | | | | not only to your well being but this can also attract |
| the smoke in and around your house. Please make | | | | unwanted negative energies and bad spirits. It is |
| sure you burn it in a fireproof dish and ensure it is | | | | advisable to not use the board more than twice a |

| Will the spirits harm my animals? | | | | Be safe, be successful - but most of all enjoy! |
