How to Set Up a Room for the Ouija Board
The word "Ouija" is a blend of the French and German words for "yes." Many people think that using a Ouija board will help them contact good spirits and others believe that it is an instrument used by evil spirits to control human lives. There are also those who believe that the answers to the Ouija come from the unconscious mind of the sitters. Either way, it can make for a spooky evening with your friends.

Tips & Warnings
Before each session, release any fear that you may have. You must set up and maintain a positive energetic environment to invite only good spirits.
Sprinkle salt in a circle around the table. You may also want to consider burning sage and placing a silver coin upon the board. Many believe that this is supposed to protect from evil.
Never play alone.
Do not use a Ouija board if it distresses you.
Don't become dependent on a Ouija board. You make your own destiny.
If the planchette attempts to move in order through the alphabet, end the session immediately. The same rule applies to numbers. Some believe that these actions are a sign that the spirit may be trying to leave the board. Move the pointer to "goodbye" and flip the board.
