Communication with the souls of the dead dates back to the times of the ancient Greeks and Romans. And later, such contacts with the dead were common among many other peoples. People used this phenomenon mainly for solving everyday issues, asking for advice and help in business, in search of missing things and people.
Spirits in those days became the personification of helpers and guardians. In the 19th century, for contacts with spirits, the French researcher Allan Kardek invented the term for this action - spiritualism.
The study of this phenomenon spread with incredible speed throughout the world. Curiosity and the seeming simplicity of conducting spiritualistic seances en masse overwhelmed people from all over the world. Various attributes were required for the ritual, one of which was the Ouija board, or as it was called, the Ouija board. Similar boards have been encountered since the days of ancient civilizations. But with their disappearance for a while, they forgot about the spiritualistic seances.
Their active re-revival reached a peak after the end of two world wars, when the pain of the loss of loved ones and relatives forced them to grab any chance at least somehow to meet with the departed.
From the history of "Ouija"
What is this spiritualistic attribute? This is a board made from various types of trees. On its surface are carved letters of the alphabet. Their arrangement can be alphabetical, randomly scattered over the surface, or they are placed in a circle. Natural numbers are arranged in the same way. There are only 10 of them: from 0 to 9. In addition, on the board there are affirmative and negative phrases "yes" and "no", sometimes the word "goodbye" is added.
There are two versions of this unusual name for the "talking board". There were times when the board was considered exclusively as a mystical game with the assertive name "ouija", which in translation from ancient Egyptian means "luck". According to another version, the name of the board is composed of two affirmative words "yes", translated into French and German. Their combination gives such an unusual name. For a complete picture, the “Ouija board” must have a special planer made of the same material as the board itself. This planchette serves as a pointer, helping the spirits compose answers to the questions asked by those present at the seance.

When trying to make a board yourself, it is necessary to take into account that its surface must certainly be flat and preferably varnished, this helps to reduce friction. The pointer can be of any convenient form. Such an artless device aroused genuine interest in its time, prompting many to use the attribute in practice.
Ouija board application
For conducting a spiritualistic session, appropriate conditions are required. For this purpose, a secluded, darkened room, at night, is suitable. During the day, the likelihood of summoning a spirit is reduced to almost zero, the presence of candles or a very weak light source that creates twilight is also necessary. For the ritual, you will actually need the Ouija board itself, next to which all the action and a group of people will take place. The more powerful energy those present will have, the fewer people will be required to conduct the session.
In the middle of the board, place a tablet that will help you compose answers. All members of the company touch the tablet with a light touch of their fingertips, without exerting a strong impact on it. Now it is time to summon the spirit of the deceased. Having decided on the personality of the summoned spirit, it is better to chorus, having voiced the text of the invitation in advance, to pronounce it before the arrival of the invited guest.
With his appearance, the Ouija board will begin its movement, answering questions, using letters of the alphabet, numbers and simple phrases. At the end of the session, the pointer should stop at the word "goodbye", which will mean the end of the session.
In the presence of skeptical people, spirits usually do not indicate their presence. The adherents of these rituals claim that the spirits are able to accurately and clearly answer the questions posed, while almost making no mistake.
How to Summon Spirits Using the Ouija Board
There are certain rules to follow when trying to summon spirits. It is necessary to understand that seances are not just mystical fun. This is an attempt to establish a relationship between two worlds that, existing side by side, should not intersect. Failure to follow the rules can seriously affect the lives of all members of the seance and the owners of the house where it is held. The most unsuccessful attempts to communicate with spirits can result in the death of the participant (s).
It is undesirable to conduct seances alone. The human biofield may be weaker than the energy of the visiting guest. It might end up sadly. You should not call the souls of people whose personalities, during their lifetime, caused a shudder among others. Communication with the spirits should be respectful, you should not be allowed to be ironic and tactless to speak out.
Questions about the time of transition from this to that world should be closed. This topic is not permissible for spirits. The reluctance of spirits to answer questions must be understood with understanding, without tactless persistence. Ouija sessions are best done with the participation of people who understand this topic. Their experience and knowledge will help to avoid the adverse consequences that can be caused by incorrect behavior of newcomers.
Scientists give their explanation of how the Ouija board works. They believe that the movement of the planchette is controlled by the person himself. And the reason for this is ideomotor acts - a phenomenon known in science since the 19th century. In this case, a nerve impulse arises, which ensures the movement of the muscles after a mental representation of this movement.
Probably, it will not be possible to learn much about the life of the afterlife thanks to the Ouija board, but, perhaps, for scientists it will become a useful tool in the study of mental processes.
