Hi,

I want to buy a Quija Board, what stores sell them? IS buying one from Wal-Mart the samething as buying from another store? Or should I go to some psychic shop???

Thanks in advance

Do yourself a favor and don't buy one any where. They're all equally bad news.

Maybe he just wanted to contact all the Pokemon and not the dead spirit.

Wow..what a brilliant unnecessary comment.




Getting a oujia board is as simple as going to Toys R Us..thats where i got mine.

Mine is currently locked inside a truck in my closet. It used to cuss and me and the white plastic thingy that goes over the letters flew off the board a bunch of times so I no longer trust mine.

Do you need brilliancy in here ?
Unnecessary ? it is !

Why on earth would you want a ouija board?

As far as most folk on here are concerned they are bad news, take note and keep clear, there not a toy, and should be respected...

But thats just my advice..

Take care....

Hi. My advice is make one they work just as well sometimes better because you are putting energy into it. Or you can get them on ebay or online from toy stores just do some looking around. I was quite surpised I found mine at a kids toy store and it glows in the dark. Good luck and blessings. Jo

why do toystores sell ouija boards in first place? those things are dangerous to play with.

They sell the ones made by Parker Brothers, because they make board games. I agree it is not a toy but if you know what you are doing and are respectful and things like that they are perfectly fine. Certaintly not dangerous unless the people using it are ignorent and screwing around. I use mine once a month or so and i have never had anything bad happen.

Ajags if I had a quarter for every time I've heard some one start in on using it "properly." Bottom line any time you deliberately try to have a chat with a spirit your taking a risk. You never know what your dealing with or what its intentions are beyond what it chooses to tell you. Also folks yes frustratingly these little bits of necromancy are readily available in toy stores. Ironic given they were not intended to be toys but to be used by mediums.

ajagsfairy is my g/f so she knows I am not a fan of Ouija, and that I dont personally like Ouija boards, and that they are definitely not toys. But at the end of the day its up to the individual to make the decision weather to use one or not. ajagsfairy is right though, she has had nothing but positive experiences with them, so its all down to personal opinion and experiences that one has had with them. I have seen horrible and horrific things happen with them which is why I am against them. have you had a negative experiences with one Kevin that makes you against them?

All the best

I'm so against them becasue I work with a group that gets to clean up the messes they cause. I've seen a lot of people that think exactly like your gf who are down right shocked when all hell breaks loose in there life. In my oppinion its a game of Russian Roulette. YOu can play it with out a problem for years but sooner or later you'll get burned if you keep it up long enough. People who have problems inevitably THINK they know how to use the board right even after the problems start. Necromancy has been denounced for thousands of years for good reason.

Hi Kevin

Necromancy is the ancient art of summoning the dead through ancient rituals. Ouija is not Necromancy. I am sure some would call it that though. Ouija is only around 150 years old, although many ancient cultures did have similar versions of the Ouija board, and funnily enough they used it as a kind of game too.

The design(as I just said) is based one one thats very old. They were not intended as games either by the person who got the US patent on it or the previous cultures. It was intended as a means of contacting the dead for the purpose of prophecy. Which is exactly what necromancy is.

interesting topic the history of the ouija board,

why would anyone make it?

Per the patent they werere intended as a tool for mediums when originally created. It wasn't until that company got bought out by a game company that they were marketed as childrens toys. That company still saw it as a tool for mediumistic purposes and went to court to get exemption from the normal taxes on games.

My religeon teacher's friend played Ouiji and disappeared within a month. When people went in her house, every room in the house had curses all over the walls in permanant black marker. She was never seen again.

Seriously, does the Ouija Board really really work, as in the contact of the spirits of the dead, or is it just a game that the participants actually move the planchette themselves just for fun. I really want to know the truth

Well, I'm sure you would be able to guess what I'll say... and I don't feel like getting internet pimp-slapped, so just PM me if you want info.

For an alternate take, just read here.

From personal experience no the ouija board is a bunch of hoggleboggle. I own one played it and nothing has happened or ever will happen to me. Some people tend to let their imaginations get the best of them.

When you are alone in a room the worst ememy is your self.

And I've seen a house with more activity then half a dozen famous places that started because some one was dumb enough to play with these things. They still have problems because the persons addicted.

I made my own ouija board with a table, Scrabble letters, two Yes/No index cards, and a wine glass in the center (upside down). It did pretty much the same thing as the $25.00 version. It's just a game. There are no spirits involved, just basic human tomfoolery.

Please DO buy one and dont be scared by myths like some people. You need to try things out for yourself.

If you get a few friends to do it aswell, Try it out with BlindFolds and have 1 person that is watching it all.

This will prove it isnt real, I promise

I agree, they are EVIL! You Never know what you may conger up!!!!

Paranoid humans

Oh please..the worst thing that has ever happened to me is the lights turned off..and that could have been anything. Nothing bad has ever happened to me and i think its just in everyones imagination that they are evil.

They work. I think the more intune spiritually you are the more effect they have.

From my own experiences and from others I have talked to, they may start out all nice and fun but believe me they can and more often then not turn out nasty.

It's really not worth the risk. If you want to contact spirits you're better off working on your psychic side starting from the bottom up.

i didnt see if any posted a history link so....
ouija boards are fake
what kind of world would we live in if all it took to communicate with the dead was a cheap piece of plastic and compressed cardboard? they arent real so buying one at walmart is buying one at kmart is buying one at a spiritual shop. although i would say do yourself a favor and buy one, especially if you are curious about it. i recommend it as a good outlet for subconcious thought. no matter what any one else says you are the one who is in control of the board and planchett, it could be a good way for you to find thoughts you are otherwise having a hard time expressing. try asking the "spirits" for guidance in areas where you feel unsure of your concious decision making ability, and remember have fun.. it is just a toy!

I cannot wait to see what JP has to say about this. I really get a kick out of reading his retorts to the believers, as he is a skeptic. His mantra on ouija is ideomotor functions or something to that effect. I have my beliefs on ouija, which he has rebutted, and I've rebutted his rebuttals. This should be a good one.

I TOTALLY AGREE. LET US ALL WRITE IN ALL CAPS TO UNDERSCORE OUR SERIOUSNESS!!!



Do you really, now? Including the fact that the spelling is "OUIJA"?

I call your bluff and raise you a "I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT PEOPLE THAT KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYTHING". Okay, let's show our cards... D'oh, I forget we were playing with Tarot cards - I got a Full House - now four people die!

You must be about eight-hundred seventy years old to hold the entirety of all this information in your bony braincage, Nihasa. I'm honored to "be in contact with one such as yourself", as FrankBlunt would put it - all you other posters, "Respect, respect!".


I appreciate the INTENT of your post, but find your approach to be laughable and ridiculously alarmist. It is true Ouija Boards should only be used by "qualified" people, who are able to maintain a rational and objective outlook on the activity and information "received" from it, and not be prone to jumping to conclusions, over hysterics or other overdramatic hyper-reactions, or emotional and mental harm *IS* possible - but it's still only self-generated by people that don't know any better than to have a coronary because bits of plastic and pasteboard called them a name and told them they were going to die of auto-erotic asphyxiation at the next full moon.


You can get "possessed" by a Ouija Board "spirit" about as easily as you can cast evil spells using the Dungeons and Dragons Dungeonmaster's Guide. To paraphrase another poster's recent assertions in another thread, "the spirits and demons know there are laws and they would never break those to harm a human" - see, there are regulations for this type of thing, but then again, I suppose possession *IS* 9/10ths of the law...

You can gey a ouija board in the mall at spencers or at Toys R Us. But be careful with that thing i threw mine in the garbage. Those borads are really evil!! its even a sin to play with them. Its supposed to be devilish like. but dont talk to any bad spirits they can be really mean and there is a possible chance you could get possessed!!!!!! NO JOKE!!!! please be very careful. do a search on ouija boards it will tell you everything.

Oh stop it, I've got tears in my eyes, no.......don't, just, quit! I can't take this....

Seriously JP, who writes your material?

Ouija board does work. as far as i have found out, it works in 2 way (as far as i know). first the most common practice, contacting spirits. the second are divination, ouija board is also a means to delve into a person ability to predic the future, if they prefer to use it as such. but both those practice require a experiance individule to use them effectively, and to those people, they know the rules of the craft in their VERY beings.

If a ouija board is used by those that just simply looking for thrill or confirmation (for example does ouija board really work is the most common case). the board will fail. but what most people dont know is, when it is used constantly without success, a little bit of the human malic, dread and negative emotion builds up into the board itself. for those who keep failing to get their desire result, they wish it will work in a negative way, they wish something will happen, they wish anything will happen. something intresting, and this wish can range from someone getting hurt or worse, if someone dies. anything but nothing at all. given time and the right sort of people, those negative wish can take on manafestation and when that happens, someone really could get hurt or worse, die.

sorry if i babble on a little bit over there. hope this will give you some insight and make those who read this a bit wiser when it comes to dealing with the occults.

Word of advice? Please know what you're doing before you use one.

Personally I wouldn’t bother getting one but try ebay they have huge variety on there.

Yah but be careful when you get a "used" Ouija Board. You never know what evil spirits and demons and astral game show hosts might have been called up and are possessing the board. The last thing you need is to try to talk to Great Aunt Martha and instead you get Bert Convy!

That’s absolutely true second hand ones may be cheaper but I wouldn’t recommend them.

Or if you were trying to channel the spirit of Bert Convy and somehow got Elvis, you'd be pretty upset. Well at least you'd be able to settle the stupid debate as to whether he's dead or not. At worst, you might get the spirits of three anti-semitic, canadian lesbians who give no advice, but rather exchange swedish meatball recipe's and tell unfunny jewish jokes all day and night.

I HATE when that happens!

Hmm. It seems I have run off anyone who actually had questions about this subject. I have no one to blame but myself I suppose. Sigh.

OK back to topic then, my thoughts on ouija, it's merely ideomotor functions which cause your hands to move the planchette around, thereby causing the "answers" to the questions to come from the subconscious mind.

From wikipedia - "Ouija (pronounced wee-juh or wee-jee) refers to the belief that one can receive messages during a séance by the use of a Ouija board (also called a talking board or spirit board) and planchette. The fingers of the participants are placed on the planchette which then moves about a board covered with numbers, letters and symbols so as to spell out messages.

The use of talking boards has roots in the modern Spiritualism movement that began in The United States in the mid-19th century. Methods of divination at that time used various ways to spell out messages, including swinging a pendulum over a plate that had letters around the edge or using an entire table to indicate letters drawn on the floor. Often used was a small wooden tablet supported on casters. This tablet, called a planchette, was affixed with a pencil that would write out messages in a fashion similar to automatic writing. It should be noted that many of these methods predate modern Spiritualism."

So one can see, that the ouija is possibly the earliest form of automatic writing, in some respects.

In all truth, The ouija borad is the work of the devil, it will consume your soul and take you to a firey hell in which you will burn for a thousand lifetimes!

Ok, seriously, I think that the ouija board (I am having a really hard time typing this, between laughing and my dyslexia kickin my (expletive deleted), I tend to transpose my letters.) I believe that the ouija, in some cases may "invite" malefic entities into ones life, so one should exercise caution.

Exercise caution first or you may have to exorcise something else later, eh?


I think Ouija Boards and automatic writing are most likely simply the dramatized extensions of inspiration, be it artistic or literary or even mathematical or philosophical. I think psi abilities can be triggered and used through working with the Ouija but I think it's rare.


The telephone was originally invented to allow people to talk to the dead, while the Ouija Board was originally invented as a psychic novelty toy that had nothing to do with spirits - now look at the two - you can call someone on the phone and pay them money to talk to the spirits for you!


I believe the only negative entities that Ouija Boards attract are thrill-seeking users and disapproving family members.

i don't think you should get one =p if you do i hope you know what your doing

Ha mine was cheaper! :-D
i did mine with a piece of paper, i wrote numbers and letters on top of it and used a coin instead of the wine glass.

As I have said before in a previous thread - I doubt the Quiji boards are harmful or actually work if they are made by some Hasbro or game company. *Unless* Hasbro has something up their sleeves (maybe that would explain why I always loose in Monopoly...) ?!

Me and some friends made 1 like that in school during a free lesson lol. It didn’t work thankfully.

=p lol

Cheapskates!

the board i bought 1 at target and it said it was my dead grandmother and other tarible things do urself a favor and dont buy 1
