Hello. I've been a member for a about a year now but have only visited occasionally.
I do have a question and not sure where to post it. I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong spot.
My question is about ouija boards.
When I was in grade school in the 60s- so a long time ago, there was a lot of excitement about this "board game" And that's just what we all said and thought it was, just another board game. And for us at that time, it was new.
We played around with it but all figured that our fingers were pushing the heart around the board.
I don't remember exactly now what happened to that board. I have a faint recollection that it was given away along with a lot of my other ''childhood toys'' as I got older and left the house.
I've read on here in many places how evil this board was/is and that some would never even think of touching it.
I haven't thought about that board until I found this forum.
I didn't think it "did" anything but now I'm wondering. Also when I was 13 I bought a set of Tarot cards, To me it was another type of "toy"
But as I used them and followed instructions on how to use them and what to do, I got spooked and it affected me. I was scared at night . My dad took those cards and threw them in the trash. I don't remember now why he did that- if it was because I was spooked by them and/or he was also because of my reaction.
So my question is how is the ouija board evil ? Is it power of suggestion or what exactly.
Please know that my question is sincere. I've always been afraid of life in general even before I got that board and cards.
Thank you for any replies
