Ouija Boards
Ouija Boards, which literally means 'yes,
yes' is a simple method by which participants attempt to communicate with
ghosts/spirits/guides via a small wooden or cardboard board simply marked with the words
'Yes' and 'No'. More common and elaborate boards have the entire alphabet and the
numbers 0-9, and often will contain other symbols like the sun and moon as well as the
signs of the zodiac. While the format of the board may differ one necessary
commonality is the 'Planchette', a small pointing device. The planchette is placed
on he board and all the participants place their hands onto it. The planchette in
modern times is usually a plastic or wooden triangle with a glass (see thru) center, but
older and still as viable forms include upturned cups, glass and smooth, flat rocks.
