The Mystery Behind Ouija Boards: What’s Really Making It Move?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Ooh, the mystery of Ouija boards.

The fundamental ideas behind Ouija boards go way back to around the beginning of the Ming Dynasty in 1368 CE!

It was used for the means of contacting the dead and those in the spirit world under special rituals and supervision. Eventually, it became forbidden by the Qing dynasty and forgotten over time.

Automatic writing is similar to painting a picture or playing music; it is something that flows through us.

The actual word Ouija is a trademark of none other than Hasbro Inc., the well-known toy company.

Spiritualist believed that the dead were able to be contacted through these modalities and picked it up.

There is a lot of negative stigma surrounding these boards, especially in the Christian religion. Many people have warned against using an Ouija board. Have you ever brought up the topic of trying an Ouija board and had people coy away saying they were dangerous?
