Ouija boards are only dangerous if you do not treat them with proper respect. I have a handmade spirit board that I blessed at Samhain that I use. I find it rather effective.
If you're worried about negative entities coming through, cast a circle of salt around you, and light white candles while saying only good and helpful spirits may come through the board.
Like Aelwyn cast a circle of salt if you're worried about negative entities. I wouldn't ask a spirit to reveal itself to me and I've heard it's not the best thing to do. I have a homemade wooden spirit board which I've only tried to use once, with no results.
Remember Good and Bad are subjective things. What the spirit sees as good, could be what you see as evil. Remember that spirits can lie to you, so you cannot always believe what they say.
If you just want to contact spirit guides simply go on a Shamanic Journey. Never ask questions invovling you or anyone elses deaths. For example don't ask, "When will Sarah die?". I've also heard that spirit boards can be addicting and that you should refrain from using the board more than twice a week.
It's a good idea to have another person with you. Make sure they have a notebook and something to write with because sometimes it can move fast.
If you are going to make your own board get wood(or paper but wood makes it so it is reuseable) write numbers 0-9 on it letters a-z, yes, no, and Goodbye. You may add other things as well.
Never end a session without thanking the spirit and moving the pendulum or whatever you're using to Goodbye.
One thing. If you summoned a negative entity or a demon, DO NOT BURN THE BOARD. It will pretty much close the dorr, and it will be hard to banish those entities.
I have my own personal Ouija Board and all i have to say is that you need to respect the spirits when they come through.
Always cast a circle of protecton and also i dont know if anyone else does it but i always put a glass of white wine infront of the oujia board opposite of me.
A few words of advice are firstly dont disgrace any of the spirits for they WILL haunt you for weeks. Second DONT use RED wine because red wine angers spirits for some reason. A former master of mine taught me that if you put red wine out they will enterpret it as if you are giving them blood and it makes them mad.
And when you act nice or have a good aura around you the spirits come closer to either feed off of it or be in it and feel happy to so its like a ghost lure.
I think that negative thoughts/deeds will lead to "bad" spirits. You could also use a smudgestick made out of white sage. And to lead spirits to you, use one out of sweetgrass. But use the white sage first!
Don't use the board because you CANNOT control what comes through.
You have opened a portal without knowing it and without proper
protection. A cleansing is in order any maybe a banishing
ritual to remove unknown and unwanted entities. I am a collecter
and keeper of spirits and I never use that uncontrollable board!!!
I use scrying mirror, pendulum, pendulum board and other techniques
to contact spirits. Spirits I have not called try to sneak thru but
my servitor,familiars and spirits guides always alert and protect me. I always thank them and use proper protection.My general philosophy is if a spirit or entity is not hostile or aggressive
then they may visit otherwise they are not WELCOMED!!!!
