So, this here be a picture of... some hands, disembodied mind you, playing ouija board.
And it'd give away the sheer TERROR of the photo if I told you they were playing on my refill pad with my bright pink pencil sharpener, so we'll leave that particular detail out.
This is under photomanip although I'm not sure, it could go under photography. Since all I did was adjust colour levels and mess with layers a bit.
In short, the background behind this photo is that we'd been learning about ouija boards in psychology class, were not allowed to play with them, and such the second we got out, had to set one up. Despite having spent the day learning why they're false. Fun times.
intersting, i would think teaching that ouija boards are false would be innapropriate for school, especially saying that you aren't allowed to use them. I mean what, do you go to a private Catholic school or something?
Because if you want to be technicall, Ouija Boards involve religion in them.
But back to the picture!
I think it looks great except for the fact that the planchette you use with Ouija Boards rise off the board on little legs/pegs/stilts things, so unless you owned an antique--maybe vintage--the planchette would not be flat touching the board.
stupid skeptics.
they dont know shit what they'r talkin bout!
I go to a public catholic school but this was actually in a... um.. summer school sort of a situation. We were doing parapsychology that day so had been discussing ouija boards.
And, heh, well, the planchette is my pencil sharpener, and the board was a page from a refill pad... so I imagine it wasn't particularly accurate.
Cool pic! I have been channeling with and w/o boards for over 20 years and I find if you are positive so is the session on the board. But it doesn't hurt to take some percussions-- ring of salt and white candles(just a few ideas). Plus my coven and I have used notebook paper boards as well as paper planchette on numerous occasions and they have worked just fine for us. We managed to channel a whole book [link] . Anyway to each their own.

Parker Brothers did not invent the Ouija Board. It had already been around for awhile when it was bought by Parker Brothers in 1966 and turned into a commercial success as a board game. Its beginnings lie in the distant past when an earlier version (a tripod device) was used in the ancient ws of Babylon and Greece to contact departed spirits. The tripod became the pointer now used with the Board, which is printed with the alphabet, the numbers 1-9, a 0 (zero), and the words 'Goodbye', 'Yes', and 'No'. There are other boards like this with different names, but with the same history and purpose. The modern version of this game was developed by a man named Planchette, a spiritualist (someone who contacts the dead as part of their religion). The Board was further transformed around the turn of the century under the direction and ownership of two men, Elijah J. Bond and William Fuld. Fulds name can be seen on the Ouija Board today. The name Ouija is a combination of the French and German words for 'yes': Oui and Ja. According to Bond and Fuld, the Board suggested its own name. The primary purpose of the board is and always has been to contact disembodied spirits. Contacting the dead is called necromancy, and contacting spirits is spiritism, both strongly condemned by God (Deut. 18:9-12; Lev. 19:31, 20:6; I Sam 28, II Kings 21:6; Is. 8:19, 19:3-4). The Boards translated name, 'yes, yes', is an ingenious and subtle way to invite spirit contact. Dead people cannot hang around after death; you cannot communicate with a dead person. The practices and techniques of contacting the dead and contacting spirits are used widely in the occult. Although the pointer is often moved intentionally or subconsciously by the players, you are putting yourself in a vulnerable position when using the Board. By playing this 'game', you are showing an interest in spirit contact. If contact is made, it is demons (evil spirits, fallen angels), not the dead, who are responding. If Satan can disguise himself as "an angel of light" (2 Cor. 11:14), then it is not improbable that fallen angels can disguise themselves as the dead. The Ouija Board is not harmless just because it is marketed as a game. Satan, the master of deception and seduction, is good at twisting the truth into lies (Gen. 3:1-6; Jn. 8:44). Satan likes disguises and his lies are often disguised as games. The next time you are tempted to play the Ouija Board as a game, look beyond its disguise and see it for what it really is. Think about this: Just what or who are you trying to contact? God tells us to seek Him instead of the dead (Is. 8:19), and Christ "lives forever to plead with God" on behalf of those who believe Him (Heb. 7:25b). Who wants the Ouija Board when you can know the One Who has "complete authority in heaven and on earth!" (Matt.28:18). If you are wondering about Christ, think on His words in John 5:23b-24, "He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father , who sent him. I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life."
