Exorcist priests and paranormal experts warn people not to buy or use an Ouija board (spirit board or board for seance sessions) during Christmas if they do not want demonic forces to infiltrate their homes, The Independent writes.
They made this call after the modern version of the "perfume board" was declared the most popular Christmas gift. This growing demand is fueled by the launch of the mystery thriller Ouija Board last month.
One of Dublin's Catholic priests warned that unintentionally playing with Ouija boards could have dire consequences.
“Opening the gates to demonic spirits is very easy, but it is extremely difficult to get rid of them. People, especially young people, adolescents, who are more open to experiments of this type, can be very naive, thinking that they will only communicate with the spirits of loved ones who have passed into oblivion. It's like going to Africa with the thought that you are insured against Ebola,”said the exorcist priest.
Ouija board (or spirit board) is a flat board that contains the letter of the alphabet, the numbers 0 through 9, the words YES, NO, hello (sometimes) and goodbye, along with various symbols and graphics. elements. Attached to the board is an ouija board (guide) in the shape of a heart on three legs with a hole in the middle. The tablet is used to indicate the spirit message received during the session.
Session participants' fingers are placed on a pad that moves across the board to show words. The term "ouija" is used generically to refer to any type of speaking board.
According to Wikipedia, one of the earliest mentions of the automatic writing method used by the blackboard is found in China around 1100 BC. e, and was originally reflected in the historical documents of the Sun Dynasty. The method was known as fuji - "writing pad".
