You will need:

1 Ouija Board
1 Candle (preferably white)
Incense ingredients for burning, incense sticks or aromatic oil for burners (opt
ional)
Always have 2 or more people present for best results (it is not recommended for
beginners to use the board alone)
Pen and paper
Conditions for a successful séance:
Only have people present who are serious and respectful. If the board is used wi
thout care or in a joking manner, this can attract unwanted and potentially dang
erous negative energies and spirits.
Do NOT drink alcohol or use any mind altering drugs including marijuana!
Clear your mind of all negative thoughts or distractions. Your mind must be clea
n and clear.
Anybody having any psychosis or psychological disorders or persons who are nervo
us, anxious or have addictive tendencies must not use the board.
Never ask questions relating to your own death or death of another person.
Keep your posture straight and do not cross your legs under the table.
Make sure you visually protect yourself and have faith that you are protected. I
magine a white light surrounding you and your friends. It is always a good idea
to make an affirmation before you begin. For example, "With the power of the ele
ments, spirit guides, angels and higher self, I and the users of this board are
protected from all negative spirits, entities, energies and influences." This is
what I personally use, but you should say something that resonates personally t
o yourself.
At first, keep to easy questions that require just a YES or NO answer. It is hel
pful if one person has a pen and paper and writes down what is being "said". The
best time for a séance is in the evening between 9.00pm and midnight. Ideally it
should be dark and quiet outside. If there are more than 2 people then place the
board in the middle of the table so that everyone can reach it. If only 2 peopl
e are using the board, it is better to place the board on both your knees and si
t opposite each other - this allows the energy to flow better.
One person should be the main person to ask any spirits to come forward and talk
. This same person should be the one to close the board down at the end too (see
"closing down the board"). Everyone should lightly place their fingertips on th
e planchette. The main person should start by asking for protection against any
negative influences (by visualizing a light around you and the participants and
asking your spirit guides and higher self or angels to protect you and that you
are only willing to communicate with spirits for your/our highest good).
Then ask if there are any spirits that would like to come forward and speak. Som
ething along the lines of "Are there any spirits in the room that would like to
speak to us. Please communicate with us by using the board only. When you are re
ady please move the planchette to YES or move it in circles". It is safer if you
ensure that the spirits only communicate through the board - make it certain th
at you are in control of the board and either ignore any other spiritual activit
y in the room (knocks, bangs, tapping, lights etc) or ask the spirit to either u
se the board or leave.
When you receive contact through the board ensure that you thank the spirit that
has come forward (it is very important that you remain at all times with utmost
respect and gratitude). When receiving an answer to your question, each letter
must be clearly visible in the hole of the planchette - if it is between letters
, ask the spirit to reconfirm the letter and it should move to the correct one.
ALL fingers (2-4 fingers per person) must remain on the planchette at all times.
It can take up to 15-20 minutes before any spirit will come forward to talk. Rem
ain calm, keep your fingers on the planchette and clear your minds apart from fo
cusing on the planchette. If nothing happens then slowly move the planchette you
rselves in large circles around the board a few times, then pause and wait - usu
ally the spirit will take over from here. If you still have no luck after about
45 minutes then close down the board and try it another evening.
Suggestions to ask:
Asking the name of the spirit is always a good question to start with.
Occasionally spirits cannot or do not wish to answer certain questions so respec
t their silence and do not ask the same question over and over again. Ask once,
once again to confirm and that is all.
Ask if the spirit is a good spirit. If the planchette goes to NO, it is advisabl
e to close down the board and wait at least half an hour before attempting to ma
ke contact again.
You can ask any general questions about your own life, for example: How can I li
ve better? What am I doing wrong? Am I in the right job? What can I do to improv
e my life/situation etc?
Note: Take the answers like you would anything else that somebody tells you (ali
ve or dead). Do not revolve your life around answers you may receive as they may
be inaccurate.
Closing down the board:
This is extremely important! The board MUST be closed down properly at the end o
f each and every séance. Start by thanking the spirits for coming forward and talk
ing with you. Wish them peace and say Goodbye. The spirit should move the planch
ette to GOODBYE and you may pack up the board.
If the spirit does not move the planchette to GOODBYE, then tell the spirit that
you are saying goodbye and that you ask they do the same. If the spirit STILL r
efuses to leave, then you must move the planchette to GOODBYE and in a stern str
ong voice say GOODBYE and LEAVE out loud. Remove your fingers from the planchett
e. If you feel that is not enough you can also slam the planchette down on a har
d surface (obviously take care not to break it!) or pass it through a candle fla
me if it is not made of flammable material.
Safety Note:
Do not use the board for longer than an hour and a half. This is exhausting for
both yourself and the spirits, and can be harmful.
It is always advisable to "ground" yourself afterwards by eating and drinking so
mething.
The more you use the board the more spirit activity it will create (similar to a
magnet). The board can become addictive to some people and this is harmful, not
only to your well being but this can also attract unwanted negative energies an
d bad spirits. It is advisable to not use the board more than twice a week.
Be safe, be successful - but most of all enjoy!
