Ouija
A Ouija Board is used to predict the future and communicate with spirits.
It is a board about 12 by 16 inches wide. It has an alphabet, the numbers from 1 to 10, and the words "yes" and "no" on it. You ask the board a question and then move a pointer over the board to spell out an answer. You should rest your hands lightly on the pointer and not force an answer from it. The pointer is then supposed to be controlled by spirits, not the person touching the pointer. The pointer is also called the planchette.
Sometimes people will use the board in a seance to communicate with the dead. This may be most common when a person has unresolved issues with a deceased loved one and wants to make amends.
Ouija boards are sometimes called "talking boards". Ouija boards are sometimes associated with Witchcraft.
Parker Brothers (owned by Hasbro) is probably the biggest maker of Ouija boards currently. They make a classic ouija board and are coming out with a glow in the dark model - perfect for those midnight seances! You can also make your own board, which may be just as good or even better for tuning into the spirit world.
The art of channeling has been around as long as man. It is a very interesting field, with those that are knowledged in its past, and/or present use call it a wonderful ability, while others, armed with little education about this talent, call it demonic, dark, and even possessed activity. This is hardly the case, as we shall see here.
Introduction: Most are aware of one or maybe even a couple ways of channeling, but there are so many variations of channeling that they are almost uncountable. Channeling is also mislabeled many times as being the ability to channel the voices of spirits period. Channeling is that to a degree, but so many more vast different areas also exist. There are also as many tools to help a person channel. Some of the most common tools, are those of Ouija Boards, Tarot Cards, I-Ching, Divining Rods, to even the Crystal Ball. In Japan, a controversial channeler is making a name for himself, for being a "ghost hunter" using Eastern Religion, and Western technology, by using a crystal ball, he takes a picture of the crystal ball, then in the photo, he claims he can see the spirits, and knows how to deal with the spirit from there. Despite his very questionable methods to those in Japan, and even in the rest of the world, he is the most sought after house cleaner when it comes to ghosts and paranormal activity.
Other tools for channeling include, horoscopes, palm reading, numerology, Kirlian photography, biorhytms, automatic writing, pendulums, psychic drawings, and past life readings.
Other religions also have "channeling tools". The Catholics have "Rosery Beads", Christian's have the "cross", believing it channels the power of God and Jesus and protects them from all harm and evil when worn. The Eastern Religion of Fung Shuei also uses many tools, including steel pipes as a channeling tool, channeling even the energy in the earth to make life run smoother. Wicca's have the "Ceremonial Dagger' that represents the focus of energy they hold. Pentagrams and other jewelry can even be a tool of channeling for it displays a "hint' of what the person believes in.
For the sake of covering the TOOLS of a channeler, I have chosen to discuss the Ouija Board here. Some say they are fakes, as a PARKER BROTHERS game. GOODYEAR RADIAL TIRE COMPANY builds an incredible tire, but they didn't invent it. PARKER BROTHERS merely bought the rights to massproduce it, as a gentleman name Mr. Fuld could not keep up with the incredible demands for people seeking to buy his boards he was making. At one time, this gentleman was cranking out over 400 Ouijas hand made a week for sale!
