If we will be looking in an English Dictionary, we will find the fact that “Ouija” is formed by to words that are meaning the same thing, but in two distinct languages: “oui” (“yes” in French) and “ja” (“yes” in German). This is the generally explanation for the name of the Ouija Board. Other scholars are suggesting that “Ouija” is coming from the Ancient Egyptian Language, meaning “Good Luck”.
The first time when this kind of board was mentioned in the recorded human history, was in China’s 1100 B.C. It was one of the most practiced divination method in that period. Even the Ancient Greeks were using mystical tables that had signs, with the communication being done by moving some kind of solid object. Philosophers Pythagoras and Philolaus were using these kinds of boards in their spiritual searches.
Starting with the late 19th Century, the Ouija Board was the most popular mystical board with which people were able to contact the spirits and let them to spell out messages.
There are two theories regarding the usage of the Ouija Boards. The first one is that the board or planchette is no more than a game. Some of the scientists have concluded with the fact that the Ouija users are subconsciously directing the path of the board, in order to produce a word. It is well known that the subconscious behaviors can determine ideomotor actions, as William Carpenter has stated in 1882.
The second theory is that the Ouija Board can really represent the connection between our world and the spirit world. The planchette, if used correctly by serious and focused people who are not interested in pranks, can represent this connection, the so called link, between real and spiritual. The persons will need to know that Ouija Boards are dangerous, due to the fact that most of the spirits that are entering in discussion are malevolent and mischievous ones. In most of the cases, as Edgar Cayce has said, “evil demons” are pretending to be cooperative spirits or the spirits of loved ones, in order to “play” as they want with the Ouija Board users. After some time, the players themselves are becoming possessed by these wild and evil spirits.
An advice would be not to use Ouija Boards, but if you will be using them, make sure that you are protected. Use prayers, crucifixes, and also show no kind of fear. Evil spirits are usually feeding with human fear.
