Q&A for How to Make a Planchette

Yes, but if you have to ask questions like this you should not be messing with a Ouija board. Contrary to popular belief, these boards are portals. Things can get through them. If you do not know what you are doing or how to handle things if they go wrong you need to have someone with you who does, or you need to put the board away. These boards can be dangerous when used without proper knowledge. Please do not use these boards as a game, especially if you are intoxicated in any way.

It would be easiest to make one out of home materials. All you need is paper, a glass or magnifying glass and a black marker. Also, to set the mood, you could use a candle.

Yes! This has worked just fine for me in the past.

Yes! You can print a Ouija board design that you've found on the internet, and it will work when used correctly.

Burn sage throughout the house. If it is an evil spirit, have a priest bless the home. If that is not enough, cut the board into 7 pieces, burn it, and bury the ashes away from the home. Make sure the planchette is not burnt with the board.

You could try to call for your dead brother, but you have to understand that spirits can lie and pretend to me different people to trick or to use you. There is chance that you can call for him. You need to use a picture, a piece of his clothing or any personal item.

It's not bad to play at night, but it's not a good idea to play in a graveyard. There are so many spirits In a graveyard, and you never know if they are good are bad spirits.

You should say, "Are there any spirits in this room that would like to contact us?"

First, you should quickly say goodbye and put the board away. If unexplained things are happening in your home or to you, try wearing a crucifix necklace and having a priest bless your house.

You can't. It is up to them to be afraid or not be afraid. Don't force people into playing if they don't want to, bad things can happen. Be careful.

Yes. Keep photos of the person you want to contact around you so that you don't attract the wrong spirits.

No, never have just your fingertips on the planchette. Bad spirits could possess you. If someone is in the room, it could bring bad luck to them and yourself.

The odds of that are rare, but possible. If you are possessed, you may need to contact a priest to bless your home and rid your body of the spirit.

No because baby powder is an unnatural chemical and it will confuse and anger the spirit. If you are dealing with an angry spirit, cleanse your home, cut the board up into 7 pieces, burn it and then bury the ashes in a deserted place (the place of burial should not be a grave yard).

Using cling wrap works but isn't exactly needed. Having a window on the planchette is preferred, but not necessary.

You can change questions to make them specific to where you are and what you’re doing. Try asking "Are there any spirits in this area?" instead.

Ouija boards cannot be possessed, allow people to be possessed or allow anything into your home. The only reason this belief is so common is because of its portrayal in pop culture (like "The Exorcist"). Even if a spirit is malicious, the board isn't some kind of portal. It's like when you visit an inmate at a prison and you sit on opposite sides of the glass. You can't get through it and neither can the person you're visiting.

If this happens, the entity is getting aggravated and the session should be properly ended and the area cleansed.

It depends on which crystals you have and whether or not the board is encircled with salt. You have to take into account the properties and powers each crystal brings for the visitors to draw upon.

It would be safe to use, but it would be hard to use as they are completely opaque.

You could, but I wouldn't recommend it as it could be dangerous.

Of course. I believe that it's the best planchette to use -- especially when you encounter bad spirits. The best coin to use is a silver coin because it is believed to prevent spirits from getting through the Ouija board.

You ask the oujia board questions. Try not to make it too personal, or you may anger the spirits. Also, look out for signs the spirit is trying to get out, and never play alone. The planchette uncovers you answer by spelling it out.

Well, it depends on what you believe. If you believe in spirits, you probably don't want your children playing with one.

Yes. It works just as well as a wooden, cardboard or plastic planchette!

Simply tell the spirit that you would like to say goodbye. It should move the planchette to the spot on the board that says "Goodbye." Always say goodbye at the end of a session because if you don't, you leave the portal open and spirits can come through.

Yes, a bottle cap works, but make sure that it's big enough.

Yes. If you feel like there is an evil spirit in the board, end the session.

No, because it would be hard to use since you cannot see through it.

No. For starters, you’ll need to put your hands on the planchette, and unless you have four hands, that’s impossible. Secondly, doing that would force the spirit to move your body to communicate, which isn’t safe at all.
