We are often asked to take old Ouija boards off of people’s hands to dispose of them properly. We’re happy to do this, but feel it’s important to explain that spirit boards, or talking boards, are not inherently evil.
Just like any other tool, in the hands of someone who is inexperienced or afraid of the tool, harm can be done — but the board itself is not evil. Many people subscribe to dogmatic rules when using a witch board but these ideas are often based in superstition, not occult reasons.
To learn more, visit us on any Friday the 13th when we offer a hands on class on the history of spirit boards and their proper care and use.
