Ouija board rules

Ouija board rules will help keep you safe from the trickster spirits and demonic entities

1. NEVER USE THE OUIJA BOARD ALONE.

Playing Ouija by yourself leaves you more vulnerable to an evil spirit coming through from the other side, so always make sure you play with one or more friends.

2. NEVER USE THE BOARD IN A GRAVEYARD.

A graveyard or somewhere where a violent murder took place can be a gateway for a malevolent entity to come through the veil. You don’t want to risk opening any channels through which they may make their way in from the other side.

3. NEVER BURN THE OUIJA BOARD.

After a particularly harrowing session, users are often compelled to destroy a board as thoroughly as possible in hopes of closing the portals they opened. To accomplish this, they will often try to burn the board – a method experienced users do not recommend. A Ouija board is said to scream if you try to burn it, and the common belief is that anyone who hears it will have 36 hours to live. Burning a Ouija board doesn’t work anyway, according to stories, as it always seems to end up back in its owner’s home intact.

The proper way to dispose of a Ouija board is to break it into seven pieces, sprinkle it with Holy Water, and bury it.

4. NEVER LEAVE THE PLANCHETTE ON THE BOARD.

The planchette (pointer) acts as a window through the veil to the other side, and being careless with it can lead to problems. Leaving the planchette on the board allows things to escape into our world. Similarly, be wary of the planchette counting down through the numbers or moving letter-by-letter across the alphabet, as that is another way an unwanted doorway can be opened to undesirable spirits and demons.

5. NEVER ASK WHEN YOU WILL DIE.

I don’t know why. Maybe because it’s something you shouldn’t really know? Or because a spirit will invent a terrible fate for you, then see to it that it comes true?

6. ALWAYS SAY GOODBYE.

Closing the board is important, as it shuts the door to the other side and prevents lingering spirits from interfering in your life. Thank the spirits and say goodbye. The planchette should move down to the word “goodbye” on the board. Then you can safely put the board back in its box.

If the spirit does not say goodbye back, you need to once again say goodbye, then pass the planchette through the flame of a candle.
