The Problem with Ouija Boards, part 2

I received a reply from the girl on Facebook regarding her Ouija board use. She indicated that she and her cousins have been seeing the ghost of a young boy, and that they had panicked and screamed, running through the house. It read as if she had several people involved in this encounter, though it was unclear if they were feeding into each other’s vision and reactions. She also asked if my guides were “random spirits” that I encountered on the Ouija board. My reply:
Spirits can indeed decide to linger if they are attracted to you and first visit you via a Ouija board. As to whether you are speaking to different spirits each time, it’s difficult to say without being there. Try to feel the energy of each and see if they match . . . just like you’d feel the presence of someone you know in the room with you. Everyone feels different.
As for the “code,” no — typically that sort of spelling just indicates a “bad connection,” in other words, the spirit can’t quite settle into answering the questions coherently. Just make sure that when you’re using the board that everyone is calm. Be patient, ask simple questions — maybe start with yes or no questions until the pointer is moving smoothly and volunteers real words. If it still doesn’t work, trying a different partner or put two new people on the board.
As for spirit guides, I did indeed meet mine via the board, but it took almost 20 years before I learned not to be frivolous in my attitude using the board. That makes a big difference. Most people, however, meet their guides during meditation and learn to hear them that way. I was young and not very patient — ironically it ended up taking me longer to meet them!
If there is one of you who is the most hysterical (screaming etc) during the board use, you might try using the board when that person is not around. Calm is much better.
If you need to banish the ghost, start by asking it to leave and tell it why. If that doesn’t work or you have trouble getting a spirit to leave, try the LBRP. It’s a very good banishing, though might need to be performed daily for a while to ensure they’re gone. It only takes about 2 mins to do.

ShetaP.S. You should also know that attention is a potent form of energy. Ever told a ghost story or watched a scary movie that made the house feel creepy? The more you talk about it, the more oppressive it becomes until sometimes you just have to leave your own house to get away from it! Laughter is a good banishment in such situations. Just find a way to make it funny — like in Harry Potter when they faced the boggart in their Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
If you and your cousins are feeding into the energy of a presence through your screams and hysterical running through the house, it will make it that much more appealing for a spirit to linger. After all, it’s getting attention!
I hope this helps shed more light on Ouija board use.

For some reason whenever I have used a Ouija board I get nice spirits at first–one time my brother and I even talked to Jimi Hendrix for a while–what a cool guy he is! But after the nice ones leave the dicks of the astral realm tend to come through. After a while I just quit using the Ouija board for spirit contact.
Ouija boards are tricky. I have a theory about talking to the dead that in a lot of cases it’s friendly spirits using the shade (memories, personality, but empty of presence as the spirit has moved on) of a dead person as a means to communicate — this would give them the ability to animate that person’s memories and personality (etc) for that limited period of time. I don’t think it’s always that way, but I think a lot of the time it probably is. And mediums like that John Edward guy would be reaching similar shades in their work. It’s just a theory, though.
