The way groups can keep any malicious spirit from coming in is to always perform the essential basics of grounding, creating a bubble field of light around the participants and calling in protection from the highest guides and angels. I use Archangel Michael as one of my main protectors. I also call in my Gatekeeper (my designated guide assigned with the task of ushering in only friendly spirits).
Skeptics, the Clergy, and the Movies
Many paranormal researchers advise against the use of the Ouija board, suggesting that it can be a portal for negative or demonic beings slip through from unknown dimensions. Skeptics might claim answers from the Ouija come directly from the subconscious mind or stem from personal desires of the users. Many in the Clergy warn about bringing into play an Ouija board. Certain church groups will either sternly forbid the use of it on pain of going to hell and suffer eternal damnation, or call it satanic–a tool of the devil. I saw one interview on television in which a clergyman maintained contact received with an Ouija board will usually start off with a pleasant tone and then become very negative. True, I won’t deny that this could happen. I call these spirits who might interfere with a well intentioned session, BOGUS spirits. They will appear sweet and friendly at first and then watch out! If spirits are called in only for the highest and best for all concerned, the session will be a positive experience. If a group of two or more are looking for entertainment or something to do on a Saturday night, results can be less than satisfactory. All participants should be well versed on how to safely use the board.
Hollywood has helped create fear about using the Ouija. Think back to the book and eventual movie, The Exorcist. And, numerous other shows depict a situation where a group of people, often in their teens, getting on a board and having negative entities come through. Those who become obsessed with the board and for the wrong reasons may start relying on it for constant guidance and to make their life decisions for them. The truth is that although the Ouija is a tool, we must still learn to stand on our own feet and become confident with our own internal intuition. There is no psychic, spirit guide, or anyone else that has all the answers for us. except for the divine source, which many call God, Mother/Father God, or Great Spirit, which can do this for us (dependent upon your religion).
The Most Spiritual Moment of My Life
I happened to get on the board quite frequently in the 1980’s with a dear friend who was extremely proficient in using it. She moved the planchette so quickly and interpreted the words at such a rapid clip, I had a hard time keeping my hands on the planchette. As we always started the session with a prayer, this time she had me say the prayer. I said my prayer asking for the highest teachers to some through. All of a sudden, I felt as though I was out of my body. I was permeated by the most loving feelings imaginable. The epiphany at that moment was the absolute knowledge that nothing on earth was anything to be concerned about. In fact, all my fears at the time were totally dissolved. Tears of joy were running down my face. I felt a complete bliss and a connectedness which I had never experienced before nor since. I realized what heaven could really be and it helped alleviate any fears I might have had about dying. It was almost like a near death experience and was really quite comforting to know what’s in store for us when we cross over. The feeling has I had that day cannot fully be described to any one. I wish I could. I only know I will remember this for the rest of my days.
Why Use the Ouija at All?
The board is a great way to make a direct link with the other side, or what we call the astral plane where spirits reside. We can always utilize our spirit helper (the one who assists us in connecting with spirits in the astral plane) to help bring the communications through. I believe, however, the best way to contact spirits is in a development circle or ongoing séances. The Ouija board can be used for channeling from higher entities or a collective group of spiritual teachers. The Michael group, renowned for bringing to the world the spiritual “The Michael Teachings” (not anything to do with Archangel Michael), started channeling messages through an Ouija board.
A Word of Caution:
Although the Ouija is a great way to contact the world of Spirit, just like any other divination tool, it needs to be used correctly. It is not a parlor game as the game makers of the board would like you to believe. It is also no for someone who is not adept at knowing how o prepare to enter the realm of Spirits. Always always always, use grounding, protection, and asking your guides and angels to help as we teach in our lessons. You don' want to open a portal to just any old Spirit in the area. You want to make sure you are contacting a Spirit of the light who has only loving intentions.
