Ouija: Gateway to Hell




Ouija: Gateway to Hell


Real Dangers from Talking Boards

Ouija boards may not be anything more than games. However, they pose very real risks to their users either way. Nearly universally condemned by most major and minor religions, their single strongest proponent was Aleister Crowley, not known for playing it safe. Users should prepare by learning to build psychic shields or otherwise bolster their minds against attacks real and imagined. Is using a talking board worth flirting with the dangers? If they are a game, then certainly not. And if they really work, and the dangers are even greater, then the answer is neither "oui" nor "ja."

Talking boards, more popularly called Ouija boards after the Parker Brothers™ game, are tools used to contact the spirits of the dead, either as a game or with all seriousness. Though sometimes dismissed as being mere entertainment, Ouija boards can pose very real dangers, whether or not the users believe that they have any supernatural powers. The risks of contacting the dead are certainly psychological, and there could be supernatural dangers as well.

What a Ouija Board Is

Talking boards have been marketed as games since 1892. Involuntary muscle contractions of the participants holding onto the pancetta (the piece that slides across the board) create the "answers" that are sought, according to manufacturers. These muscle contractions may be related to muscle testing, or applied kinesiology, the principle that our muscles are connected to our unconscious and will provide more accurate answers to some questions than the mind (Monti, Sinnott, et al., 2003).

This body/mind connection may explain the amazing accuracy of the answers participants receive. It may also suggest that some of the more chilling experiences that come from Ouija board use actually emerge directly from the participants' minds. This could be dangerous in and of itself, without even discussing the potentially supernatural side of talking boards. Repressed feelings and memories emerge much more easily when there is a sense of anonymity, even one as specious as that granted by a game.

Supernatural Use of Witch Boards

If a Ouija board does link its users to the spirits of the dead (and perhaps spirits that were never human), then it really doesn't matter if the users believe it to be a game or not, as is noted by Dale Kaczmarek, president of the Ghost Research Society. Playfully giving permission to unknown entities to speak through your hands is still giving permission, and magic functions on permission. Contact is no more safe or efficient than in an internet chat room: you have no way of verifying the identity of the person you're speaking with. The sense of anonymity still exists, and is no more real than online; in fact, it's probably a toss-up if an online predator or a malevolent spirit is more likely to be able to use the contact against you.

Continuing the analogy with an online friendship, it's possible that the talking board users will develop of level of comfort with a particular spirit, without ever verifying its identity or intentions. One spirit may even impersonate another, as in the 1986 thriller Witch board (though likely without the spectacular effects). False trust can lead to being lured into bad decisions.

The Dangers of the Ouija Board

One of the chief tools used in divination is the Ouija Board. Though Parker Brothers (those who manufacture it) would suggest that this is merely a game used for entertainment purposes, this occulted tool leads to spiritual darkness. It is described as such:

A board and pointer used for divination and by some as a means to contact spirits or entities. The name comes from the French and German words for "yes," oui and ja (ja is mispronounced with a hard "j"). Critics of the Ouija, who include authorities in most denominations of Christianity, say it is dangerous and a tool of the Devil. Advocates say that it, like other forms of divination, is a legitimate means to discover insight, wisdom, and self-truths and to communicate with discarnate beings.

The board includes letters of the alphabet, numerals 0 through 9, the words "yes" and "no," and a heart-shaped pointer on three felt-tipped legs. One or two people place their fingertips on the pointer, which moves to answer questions. In most cases answers probably rise up from the sub consciousness of the users, even when "spirits" identify themselves and give messages. However, Ouija pointers have been known to fly off the board and spin out of control, as though being directed by unseen forces, and some users claim to be harassed by external agents contacted through the board.

Precursors to the Ouija date back to ancient times. In China before the birth of Confucius (c. 551 B.C.), similar instruments were used to communicate with the dead. In Greece during the time of Pythagoras (c. 540 B.C.) divination was done with a table that moved on wheels to point to signs, which were interpreted as revelations from the "unseen world." The rolling table was used through the nineteenth century. Other such devices were used by the ancient Romans as early as the third century A.D., and in the thirteenth century by the Mongols. Some Native Americans used "squdilatc boards" to find missing objects and persons, and obtain spiritual information. In 1853 the pancetta came into use in Europe. It consisted of a triangular or heart-shaped platform on three legs, one of which was a pencil. The medium or user moved the device over paper to draw pictures and spell out messages.

Ouija Popularity Around WW I

The Ouija enjoyed enormous popularity during and after World War I, when many people were desperate to communicate with loved ones killed in the war and Spiritualism was in a revival. In 1966 Fuld sold his patent to Parker Brothers game company of Beverly, Massachusetts. Interest in the Ouija picked up again in the 1960s and 1970s, along with renewed interest in the occult and supernatural. Parker Brothers stresses that the Ouija is a game for entertainment purposes.


Demon Possession and The Ouija Board

People know not what they do when they dabble in the occult, even innocently. By doing such they open themselves up to many spiritual dangers that normally would

never occur, one of which is demon possession. Such has been linked to the Ouija board:

Some demonologists say the Ouija opens the door to possession by evil spirits ....Some evil spirits first contacted by the Ouija board has led to a deeper involvement and bondage in the occult.

Jane Roberts, Seth and Others

Some critics contend that such contact is inherently dangerous, and that any beings who communicate through such a device are likely to be demonic and attempt to possess the user .... The entity Seth, popularized by the writings of Jane Roberts in the 1960s and 1970s, initiated his communication with Roberts through a Ouija board. The communication then rapidly progressed to direct automatic writing with a pen and then into a trance mediums hip which Seth allegedly used Roberts' vocal cords to speak.

The Ouija also served as the initial means of communication with alleged spirits of the dead in 1913 for Pearl Curran, and in 1919 for Stewart Edward White and his wife, Betty. The Whites spent 17 years studying Betty's medium ship with a group of discarnate beings who called themselves "the Invisibles." After initial contact was made through the Ouija, Betty began using automatic writing and then trance medium ship, in which the spirits allegedly used her own vocal cords.

The Lie Will Continue to go Forth

Be assured, that for the many that are misinformed, the Ouija board will continue to be accepted as a mere game for entertainment purposes:

Ouija A device marketed as a game in which answers to questions are divined.

The Ouija Board is Unsafe and Even Used in Séances!

While the Ouija board remains popular and is sold commercially as a "game," it has been attacked both by critics of the occult and those within the occult community who consider it unsafe. Some mediums claim to have started with the board and "discovered" their psychic abilities as a result of using it.

Ouija board, in occultism, a device ostensibly used for obtaining messages from the spirit world, usually employed by a medium during a séance.

So what is a séance? And why would an occult medium be using a harmless game for entertainment purposes there? séance A sitting organized for the purpose of receiving spirit communications or paranormal manifestations via the services of a medium .... A séance is immediate and powerful, playing upon the sitters' sensibilities with a drama that no other occult reading can match. But to the initiated, the séance can open the doorway to a mysterious other world.

WARNING!

Have NOTHING to do with the occult or Spirit's in any form. Do NOT dabble with what God has expressly forbidden. If you already have, pray a sincere prayer to God asking Him to forgive you for your grievous sins. Also pray a prayer of renunciation, that is, renouncing this and all involvement in the occult. If you already own an Ouija board, remove it from your house and burn it publicly. This is how some first-century sorcerers treated their scrolls and thereby proved their repentance toward God:

A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly. When they calculated the value of the scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas (Acts 19:19).

Please WARN as many as you can about the Ouija board. This dangerous occulic device not only can lead to demon possession, but even eternal damnation in the lake of fire. Remember what God says about those that practice the magic arts, even if under the guise of a harmless game for entertainment purposes:

Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD, and because of these detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you (Deut.18:12).

Anyone means anyone, even a person previously saved
