Ouija Boards

I have a hard time believing anything mass produced by Parker Brothers has any spiritual efficacy.

In my mind, that's akin to trying to enter another dimension through Chutes and Ladders.

It's a tool. A hammer is a hammer, whether manufactured by Black & Decker or handcrafted by a skilled craftsman. You can make a perfectly serviceable talking board out of a sheet of paper and a bottlecap.

IF their is such a thing as a spirit realm, ghosts, lerpicans, toothfaries, demons, honest politicians....

Then I do understand this point of view... I would GUESS that the user of such a thing would be more importent then the thing itself....

most people who are good at chess don't need fancy gold chess pieces and a board made of polished cedar to defeat their opponents.

Too true. And it's not the tool itself, but how it's used and who it's used by that creates the end result. A hammer can be used to build a house or bash in a skull.

Another example which shows the significance of a simple gaming medium, and its consequences according to the players:

Common playing cards, which are looked at as a simple parlour game, are often used as a powerful divining tool by those who dabble in the occult. How ironic, since the cards also decide the fates of millions of hapless gamblers each year at casinos, poker parties, and underground gambling dens.

Cards are a highly-enchanted item, and their influence depends upon the player.

How often do you have succes and when are the best hours to use one? The only personal experience I've had with spirits is when I summoned a goetia and it came to me in a dream and told me about all the misfortunes last year before they came and to prepare myself for them.

Ouija boards are perfectly effective for demonstrating ideomotor response in conjunction with a modified Forer effect.

I designed an awesome spirit board which someday I'd like to get patented. It's far more effective at anything you believe a spirit board is effective for which yes, includes contacting spirits/demons and scaring the pants off of pre-teen girls.

it's not preteen girls i'd like to scare the pants off of... back to the drawing board!

Good point. I don't think that excuse would be admissible in court. "But honest your honor, that's how it happened."

That made me laugh pretty hard....

A trivial persuit.................... INTO HELL

Don't play with Ouija! You'll be SORRY! Nothing but Trouble.

Stop me...please.

[Azeuron]

Don't play with Ouija! You'll be SORRY! Nothing but Trouble.

Stop me...please.

first we're talking about ouija boards then trivial persuit, sorry, and now trouble.... i think we need to pick a board game already...

[n0Mad]

I don't think one game should have a Monopoly on all the others. Too much Risk involved. Maybe we all just need to get a Life.

Oh, Balderdash!

[n0Mad]

Oh, Balderdash!

Stop living in Candy Land and get a Clue.

All though there was a time I was playing a card game at one of my friend's houses and the picture slip to the side when I drew the king of spades.
