Sometimes I get "lost souls". Rarely are they frightening. I was surprised when they first started interrupting my "conversations" with my spiritual guides, but I'd just take my hand off the guide-thingee and close my eyes and say "go to the light...go to the light...." and imagine that soul going to the light where they would become found. Lost then found!

I have a board that I made mys-elf so that is comforting to me. I have done the board with several different people at different times and I've found that each time is different b/c each person has different energies. With one person the guide (in my case I use a pendant I value) races across the letters. With another person, it's harder to get clear answers.

I also want to stress that yes,there are reasons to be weary of a Ouijee board because yes, it can invite uninvited guests. But if you protect yours-elf and have good, clear intentions, it can be a truly beautiful experience.

Here is part of a response I made under another thread called "Torot (sic) Question".

I'd also advise agains the use of a Ouija board or Spirit board, as one of my guides has called them, "low energy toys".

Your friends might try a direct communication, with appropriate prayer and so forth, or perhaps they should find a medium to come in and have a peek.

Playing with ghosties and astral entities isn't best left to the untrained.

Not to be too overdramatic, but I have read of instances where the untrained have become obsessed or possessed by playing with things they ought not.

Hope this helps a bit...

White Light and Blessings...

Just wanted to clear that up.

Peace and love!

These things should not be taken lightly. Be careful otherwise you will be playing with a fire that you can't put out.

Offended, not at all!

And I didn't mean that one should NEVER use a Spirit Board, BUT one MUST be prepared. It would be well to have set a sacred space, invoked the Angels of Light, or the Archangels, and have some candles burning, as Linda always did when she told her Tale of the Creation.

It is also well to pray for protection, or call in the White Light. And probably also beneficial to "Bless the Board" so that it received only messages from non-harmful energies.

I'm sure this sounds like so much ritual, but this is why I said it's best NOT done by the untrained.

There are too many stray entities in the Astral realm that are looking for entry, or a chance to "play" a bit with the unsuspecting.

So, no, not offended at all. Just an advocate of being clear, and prepared, and as well shielded from negative energies as possible. But I tend to be a wee bit cautious in anything; especially after having the experience I did.

One night a friend, who was also a psychic, decided to "play with" the Ouija board, after a party where we had all probably had a wee bit too much to eat and drink. Not wishing to spoil the fun, I put my hand on and shut my mouth. Well, when he asked who we were contacting... the pointer spelled out the name of one of my Oldest Guides, and then literally flew off the board. Now, I had never mentioned this guide to that particular friend. When I told anther of my fiends, whom has also been a Teacher of mine, she laughed and said.. "that's what happens when you play with low energy toys! That's what he (the guide) was trying to tell you."

Hope that helps some.
