The Ouija Board

The Ouija Board

- all you need to know -

In this Blog post (in response to my YouTube Video) i’m going to be talking about the Ouija Board and all you need to know about them. I completely get that this subject is some what controversial. This is not to offend anyone and there beliefs, this is for people who are interest and opened minded in what i do. This is just what i found to be true from my own personal experiences.

So what is a Ouija Board anyway…

Ouija boards go by many names, like talking board and spirit board to name a few. The word Ouija is said to come from and combine the french ‘’Oui’’ for yes and the German ‘’ja’’ for no… Charles Kennard how ever came into contact with a medium lady when inventing the Board and when using the board they ask what should it be called… ‘’OUIJA’’ is what it spelt out. I guess the Ouija was another ‘’in thing’’ that came after the spirit cabinet and seances. the late 1800s working into the early 1900s really was the opener to all this communicating with the dead stuff. Having said that the fascination with the afterlife and spirits has been around  centuries before. Alot of the supernatural and spiritual work had been put to a stop from when religion came on the seen out of fear of being named a ‘’witch’’.

Ouija Boards all in all are nothing other than a tool to contact the other side aka spirits.

But how do they work…  

The board in itself is just a board and like tarot cards, pendulums and runes for example they are just tools. When working with any spirit you first must allow it in, invite it in and ask for it… So the board works in this way, and this is what makes it potentially dangerous. When you get a group of people and you decide to ‘’play the Ouija board’’ you are mixing with their energies and their intentions with your own, opening the doors to the endless possibilities of what you could experience.. Whatever you put out you will receive and different energies are a match for certain entities.

So if you get Five people joining together to use a Ouija Board…  Three of them strongly believe that the Ouija board is evil and they are going to get an evil spirit come through, you get one that does not believe in it all and the other one is not sure but has seen a lot of movies and is probably giving off fearful vibes. Then they all sit down have a few drinks - because it all seems like a good idea with a drink, and start calling on spirits…. what do you think will happen?

One, drinking and drugs has been known to open you up more, so you become in an elevated state instead of a grounded state, and calling on spirits you are giving whatever is around you permission to come on through, there are no limits, your setting no rules so they ‘’spirit’’ get a free ride, you are playing a game of roulette and anything can come through but more likely that will attract a lower level entity. Although this is not always the case.

As i said before just as there are many different kinds of people there are just as many different kinds of spirits/entities. Spirits/ entities want to be apart of the human experience, and you can get through ghosts, past over relatives, demonic entities, mischievous ones the list is endless.

So If you are a skeptic and you stumbled upon this, one it’s because you are intrigued, and two because there is a small part of you that is drawn to wanting to know more- but there you are and you're probably thinking that i’m full of crap… You have done the Ouija board thing, its just a game nothing happens or you are convinced a friend was moving the glass/planchet.

Firstly if you are adamant that there are no such thing as spirits/ghosts, and that nothing will happen…. then nothing will happen!! why even bother with it in the first place? You are only open to experience what you believe is possible or partially to what the people around you believe in to a degree as your energy influence others experiences and does theirs to yours. If you do it with a someone that does believe or a ‘’spiritual/medium type person’’ you will have an experience that fit it.

Doing any form of spiritual work takes energy the spirits use our energy to feed off of, to communicate with us,  that’s why people that have had experiences may feel exhausted the next day… But with practice you build up your energy and are able to connect with spirit.

How to make one

So how to make one or where to get one from…. I’m expecting later on this year after the film Ouija, There are going to be a lot of people wanting to try it out, and although i’m not all for it i’d rather teach people how to do it safely.

So you can buy a board online at places like ebay or amazon for reasonable prices or you can make one. I have a store bought board, and there is a lot of talk because you have to be careful where you get it from, what energy went into making the board, or if its one you found you also have to be aware of what’s come through on that board previously and the energy that may be attached to it. I’d recommend you make one

So you just need a table, some paper, pen and a glass thats light enough to slide over the table top. You draw and cut out letters of the alphabet, numbers, yes, no, hello and goodbye in big enough squares and blue tack them down in a circle on the table… you place the glass bottom facing up and you're good to go.

Questions to ask yourself before doing a Ouija Board.

1. Ask yourself why you want to do it in the first place and what you hope to gain from the experience.

2. Ask yourself are you intentions worth something potentially bad happening.

Tips and Tricks

Before starting a Ouija Board, know the people you're doing it with, where there at and what they hope to gain from it.

set rules, state you only want to connect with beings of the highest good and that have your best interests at heart. Ask that your angels watch over you during the session, and state that when you say the session is over that they must return back from where they came, goodbye is goodbye.

I wouldn’t recommend doing it at your home, if you do i’d say to cleanse your house after. (saging the house)

Light candles and do it in a draft free room, when they flicker its a sign of spirits being with you.

Make sure the people you are doing it with have the same intentions as you

have someone write down what you get.

Keep fingertip’s on the planchet at all times until the session is finished, if all fingers leave and the planchet or glass slides off, they say that that spirit is free to roam the material plane.

when closing down and finishing your session you should state that the session is over and that you no longer wish to communicate and that you thank them for their help, and ask that they return back from where they came.. Ask your angels to make sure that they do just that.

If anything bad happens its because someone has expected it, or set the intention or has the fear that it will… burn the board. cleanse the house and set your intentions. Spirits tend to be more active at night maybe thats just because our minds are less scattered at night.

This was just my advice as to Ouija Boards - do your research before trying anything you do not know about.

comment below with any of your experiences on the Ouija Board, give me a thumbs up if you found what i said to be interesting… in My  next video/blogpost i will share with you an incident that not many people know about that lead to something very spooky happening with an school friend of mine.

Thank you for reading, watching, subscribing, commenting and following me - i’d love to hear from you

How Tarot Works

How Tarot Works…

Let’s start at the beginning

Tarot has been around for at least six centuries now, it’s hard to  say exactly where Tarot came from as there are no written documentation confirming dates. However there are many myths saying that Tarot originated from ancient Egypt and another myth claiming that the Gypsies brought Tarot to Europe.

Tarot for centuries has been used to solve your most burning questions or to catch a glimpse into the future or that of the recent past. Sceptics argue the fact that a set of cards with obscure pictures, could ever possibly tell us anything about our lives. There are a lot of misconceptions spread around by superstitious and religious people who shy away from Tarot in fear. They say that the cards are evil and that demonic entities will curse you or doom your life. The honest truth is that they are just cards and on their own hold no real power.

So we have discovered that the cards are not supernatural and controlled by evil spirits, they are used as a divination tool. Like with any tool, they are only as good as the skilled person wielding them.

About my readings

I have been reading cards since I was Thirteen years old, first for family and friends, then for friends of friends and family friends, and so the word spread…’’It runs in the family’’. I completely understand the stigma that comes with this line of work, and so I make it top priority that the client understands fully what tarot is, how it works and also the new law legislation implemented by the government, that all spiritual workers now have to inform clients. When booking or paying online you will receive this ‘’disclaimer’’.

I like to make YOU, the client feel at ease before beginning anything, as the more relaxed, calm and open you are the more you will gain from the reading. I also only read for people genuinely intrigued, or open to the possibility of what tarot and spiritual readings can offer, as I have out grown the need to feel like I have to prove anything, it goes without saying the reading speaks for itself.

There nothing wrong with being skeptical, belongs your open minded tarot will never seize to amaze you.

Let me explain further…

So once we have one through the essentials, payment has been made, and we have discussed how it is that you came for a reading, what it is you may be interested to know… We begin the reading.

Now bear in mind that the cards will show you whatever it is that they feel you should know – all for the higher good of course. They will only tell me the things that you need to know, they will clarify things that have happened in the past and work up to the future. People often worry about getting bad cards, but in all honesty there is always something positive to come out… & always guidance and advice for you follow so the bad, doesn’t end up bad. But of course it’s your life, your choices to make, your lessons to learn… I am here to listen and guide you onto the right path… the happy path!

So here I am, your spiritual guru, counsellor or witch – whatever you like to call me!

I’m not a professional psychiatrist, or medical doctor… But in all honesty I believe healing is not cured by taking pills, not to say that modern medicine is not good I just feel it’s used without fully understanding what’s making the patient ill. I feel it’s impersonal and I have yet to find a good doctor and so always use a more holistic approach to health (that’s not to say it’s for everyone). We get ill, discouraged by a range of physical, emotional and spiritual strains on the body and mind. But this is an entire other subject. What I’m trying to say is, think out side the box, listen to your body, heart and mind… Stuck in a difficult relationship, keep getting ill, want that job you always dreamed of… tarot will help you but it’s you that has to make the choice, and step into the life you long for.

"Remember those that do not believe in magic… never find it! It’s good to dream! "

How I do online Readings

With an on-line reading, I tune into you by photograph and using your date of birth. With your payment you are giving me consent, allowing me to connect with you. I then draw cards, with any questions that you may want to know about. Please do bare in mind that the cards will tell me what they feel you need to know, they will never tell me anything that you cannot handle. And so, I will guide and prepare you for what’s to come… Please do check out my feedback on my Facebook page… and all links can be found on my website. I truly hope I can help you like i have helped so many others

Ask a Little Witch

How to See an Aura

Good evening all that’s tuned in to Ask a little Witch … So you clicked on this because you’re curious as to what an Aura is, how can you see an Aura and if it’s a trick that most can do… Let me do my best in explaining it as much as I can from what I've learnt over the past.

An Aura, What is an Aura?

Well, an Aura is a vibration of energy. There, wasn't that simple? Okay, now let me explain… All living things are made of energy, you yourself are energy, trees, flowers, animals, fruit and all types of things that are alive exuberate energy. Now the vibration, or what I mean by that is, we all run on various frequencies, some vibrate faster, some slower, some have a stronger vibration and others a weaker vibration of energy.

So that's what an Aura is. But what does it look like??

Auras are different, they look different depending on what, who you’re looking at - just as you’re not the same as your neighbour and their different from you. Sometimes you will see a ring of colour around there silhouette surrounding there body. Some will have beams of colour coming from them.

You see the glow around the hand... That's what it appears like... and on some other occasions on healers hands (reiki healers, crystal healers and masseuse etc)  you will see beams, swirls of energy coming out of their palms.

Okay, so why do people see them and what are they for?

Auras are seen by people with a higher sense of awareness, they can tell a lot about a person from the colours that they see coming from them. Healers can tell use the colour of an Aura to see what energy centre (Chakra) is blocked.

Another way I can describe it, you know you get a feeling in the pit of your tummy, sometimes when you meet someone, and for some reason you get a bad feeling… That’s you ‘psychically’ picking up something about that person. You may not see the energy from that person, but you feel it!

How to see Auras…

You need to approach this with an open mind and bucket loads of patience. You need to be in a relaxed state of being, before you begin you will need your subject to practice on... I'd recommend a piece of fruit like an Apple or a banana, you can even practice on your own hand (in time). You will need to place it in front of a white background... like a white painted brick wall (not wooden as wood usually very much alive), If not, stick a sheet or two of plain white paper on a wall and then begin.  

First you want to quieten your mind, so spend 5-10 minutes just focusing upon your breathing. Deeply in, then out, empty your mind of thoughts. 

Then close your eyes, pick up your item (apple or banana) and hold it gently in your palms. Continue breathing in, and then out, you don't want to strain it, or force it to happen... gently feel the item (apple or banana). But feel I do not mean to stroke it. I mean to feel it, what energy vibration do you get... the best way to describe the feeling for energy is the feeling you get when you hold a crystal in your palms. Some feel a tingling sensation and others a warmth, everybody is different and the vibration can even feel different to different people.

Now place your item in front of the white wall or sheet of paper. You then want to look blankly at the outline of the item (apple or banana). Best way is to imagine you were to draw it, look at the item, not directly at it, but to the side (outline). Eventually your eyes will un-focus... don't panic this its the training process of seeing auras. Soon the blur will turn into a colour, and the aura will appear. 

Please do not stare for too long (you will be seeing the imprint of your item for about 5 minutes after if you do that), try for a minute at a time, until you can build up to a couple minutes. Not everyone will see straight away, it takes time, so be kind to your self...

I hope this has helped to explain what an Aura is... Post below or to my Facebook page www.facebook.com/ask.a.witch, with your progress. I will aim to make these blogs into videos on my new YouTube channel in time. 

Let me know if you want to know what Colours of Auras mean.. or what you may want to learn about next...
