I have used a Ouija board multiple times. It has been in my family for generations upon generations. The Ouija board has gone from a tool of divination to a game, so if you use it like a game, you get childish answers, if any at all. If you use it as it is intended and under the correct circumstances, then the board can prove very useful. Not only can you commune with the Ether, but with the Ether of living people too, assuming they are asleep, and yes, I know that is an invasion of their privacy, but I’ll do what I want and let Karma, Fate, and Destiny deal with my consequences.
So far I have yet to have the walls bleed or the chairs fly into the air, burst into flame, then spew the souls of a thousand dead warriors… it was only one soul and he was a hermit from Rome, dressed in a camber-pot and toga. Hehehe.
