Spirit Boards

Spirit boards are tools used to contact and communicate with spirits. Synonyms include Witch board or talking board. Ouija boards are a type of spirit board. Ouija board is sometimes used as if it were the only Spirit board but the Ouija board is a trademarked name for a specific board currently marketed by Parker Brothers as a game or toy. Ouija Boards are found wherever board games are sold. Other spirit board combinations are much harder to find.

The standard modern spirit board is a flat board often wood ( or other flat surface) printed with letters, numbers, words, and/or symbols. A movable pointer rolls over the board and points to this printed material, usually in response to questions. The big question is: how is the pointer moving? Are peoples hands moving it? Is it the force of gravity, a tiny breeze, or some other explanation? Or are spirits responsible?

Spirit Boards originally came into prominence in the nineteen century as tools associated with Spiritualism. No need to wait for an invitation to a Séance or pay a mediums fee. Spirit boards enabled an individual or small group to contact spirits independently in the privacy of their own home. Spirit boards achieved great popularity and were sold as novelty items as well as serious tools.

The standard American Spirit board is based on the Planchette. Planchette is a French term meaning “little Plank.” It is a small board supported on wheels or castors that moves in order to spell out messages or answer questions. A pencil or other writing implement may be attached so that the words or letters form, or the planchette may be rolled over words, letters, or symbols. The American Spirit board is a simplified version.

Although these spiritual devices first achieved mass popularity in the nineteenth century, they are based on ancient divinatory techniques. Chinese variations, known as spirit or sand writing, have been documented at least as far back as the Tang era (618-907ce). They remain popular today.

Other famous people/civilisations known to have used a spirit board or similar are the ancient roman emporer Julian Caesar 300AD, ancient pharoahs 3000BC and famous figures such as aristotle, plato and pythagoras. In more recent times even Einstein

Spirit boards have accrued something of a bad reputation, possibly because they are commonly operated by those with little or no metaphysical, the equivalent of children playing with matches. Spirit boards are sold in toy stores, but they are real, genuine, divinatory devices.

When working with spirits, it is always best to be as clear and specific as humanly possible. Ouija or other spirit boards are an excellent communications device should you have an appointment with a spiritual entity whom you already trust. When summoning Spirits, ask for the spirit you seek by name: don't just put out a general call. Herein lies the danger of the Ouija board: spirits sitting around with nothing to do tend to be the ones no one else has called for and probably with good reason. (and always remember, fear attracts the fearsome).

Syncretism is an esoteric concept where the spirit assumes the identity of another spirit (wearing a mask). Its important to be specific therefore in who you call to help you and not assume you are interacting with the right spirit. There is a sense of knowing when you call the right spirit time after time. This comes with familiarity and regular contact.

Our spirit board is an “Archangel” board. It was made with fire and stained with the chakra colours (plus clear and gold colours in the center) on instructions and guidance by the angels It was then sealed with many coats of special varnish to seal it. It was then Blessed, Anointed and Saged upon first use. It is marked with the symbols of 9 archangels and their partners.

We use only letters and numbers together with “yes, no” and we use a glass instead of a Planchette as this is easier to use and also we use the combination for healing as it produces a sound necessary for our crystal wave therapy “sound vibrational healing”.

Miggin occasionally makes these boards to special order. They are made to the exact same standard as the one we use and we give a personal instruction session to get people started.
