| The name "ouija" comes from
the French and German words for yes, "oui" and "ja." There
are many different types of Ouija Boards all have different layouts and
are made from different materials. The board usually consists with the
letters of the alphabet, 0-9 in numbers and the words, "Yes" and "No." The
user or users of the board then lightly touch a pointer (sometimes called
a planchet) and the pointer moves and spells out the answers to questions
asked of it. Usually this pointer is mounted on castors to help it move
freely about the board. They became very popular in the 1960's being sold in many countries as a board game although they were eventually withdrawn from main shopping outlets because of the stigma that was attached to them by the media. Some believe that the Ouija offers proof as to life after death. Others, though, believe that the answers to the ouija come from the unconscious mind of one or all of the sitters. In a similar type of way in which Tom Lethbridge argues that dowsing works. It must be stated that persons of a nervous disposition can be frightened easily when using a ouija board and it is suggested that they should therefore avoid them. It must also be pointed out that there is no scientific proof that they actually work, although there have been many claims over the years.The Ouija board is not a game and should be treated with care, preferably there should be a medium/psychic who has experience present at all times.
