How to Play a Ouija Board: Communicating with Spirits

• Set the mood with candles, incense, and dim lighting.
• Invite friends to join and form a circle around the Ouija board.
• Begin with simple questions and continue until the spirit's responses cease.
• End your session by saying “goodbye.”

Select a quiet location for your séance. Choose a serene environment such as your bedroom or a peaceful park to enhance your focus during the session. Eliminate distractions like the TV and silence your phones to fully immerse in the spirit world. Don't worry about using the board at home; we'll ensure a haunting-free experience.

Purify your surroundings to dispel negativity. Safeguard against negative energies by performing a cleansing ritual beforehand. To conduct a smoke cleansing, light a sage bundle and circulate the smoke throughout your space while affirming, “I cleanse this area of all negativity.” If sage isn't available, use salt water by mixing salt with fresh water, then spraying or sprinkling it around while invoking cleansing intentions.

• Many ghost stories involve Ouija boards, but don’t fret. Check out safe usage instructions if you’re nervous.
• Be patient and respectful with spirits who may not have communicated in a long time.
• If you enjoy the conversation, invite the spirit to return by saying, “Please join me again sometime.”

• Avoid asking about death dates; spirits can’t predict the future and may joke, causing unnecessary fear.
• Spirits can lie, so don’t take everything the board says seriously.
• Don’t request physical signs from spirits, as it could invite unwanted activity in your home.
