Spirit Boards

A spirit board, commonly referred to as a Ouija board, talking board, or witch board, is a flat surface made of wood or cardboard, typically decorated with the letters of the alphabet, numbers, and various symbols. This intriguing tool is designed to facilitate communication with the spirit realm.

The board usually features the letters A through Z, the numbers 0 to 9, and phrases like "Yes," "No," and "Goodbye." Participants in the séance or session place their fingers lightly on a small, heart-shaped device known as a planchette. This planchette is designed to glide smoothly across the board's surface.

As participants pose questions, they wait for the planchette to move, often guided by the collective energy of the group. It can spell out words or provide answers by pointing to the letters or numbers. Many users believe that spirits can influence the movement of the planchette, allowing for communication and insights from beyond. The experience can be both thrilling and chilling, drawing people into the mystery of the unknown.
