If you've ever used a Ouija board with friends, you've probably played an extremely fun and exciting party game, but you have definitely not gotten the full experience in using a spirit board. Your roommate was probably a little bit tipsy and pushing the planchette (the little arrow you hold for reading) towards what they think the "spirits" haveto say. The best way, by far, is to do it alone.
There are a few theories on how they work, none of which will ever be able to be proven. Such is magic. Are you channeling a spirit, a muse, a ghost, a creative force inside of you or is it your subconscious hovering over those letters? Who cares! As long as the net catches fish, does it really matter where they came from?
Meditate for at least 20 minutes beforehand.
Your mind should be blank, but eager to listen.
DON'T CONTINUE IF YOU'RE BORED ALREADY. Try again next time.
Hold your planchette or weighted pendulum over the center of the board in a blank spot.
If using a pendulum, start making small ovals that cover the entire board.
If using a planchette, lightly rest your hands on it, trying to balance not pushing, not pulling and not holding it down.
"Ask" (internally) if the board has something to say.
Keep a pen and paper handy. After each letter, I stop and write it down, and then center myself over the blank spot on the board again.
Always stop when the board reads "GOODBYE".
