Ouija Boards

The following two blog entries will discuss Ouija Boards. Do they really work and, if so, how? Part two will look at the Ouija Board demon called ZoZo, and if he is real or not.

While I believe that the information is accurate (as of the time of writing this), your mileage may vary. As always, use your feelings to decide what’s true for you and what isn’t.

A Brief History

Are Ouija Boards a portal to Hell, or are they just an innocent board game?

For those who are not familiar with what a Ouija Board is, it’s a board with letters and numbers on it.  Its purpose is to allow you to contact spirits. Its name derives from the French words for “yes” and “no.”

As for its history, Wikipedia states the following: “Spiritualists in the United States believed that the dead were able to contact the living and reportedly used a talking board very similar to a modern Ouija board… in 1886 to ostensibly enable faster communication with spirits. Following its commercial introduction by businessman Elijah Bond on 1 July 1890, the Ouija board was regarded as an innocent parlor game unrelated to the occult until American spiritualist Pearl Curran popularized its use as a divining tool during World War I.”

Soul Debt Question

I was asked recently how do you pray to gods without creating a soul debt?

“If praying to a god or entity creates a sort of debt to them, then is there a thing a person can pray to (or speak to) that would not create that situation? What about just sending a message to the universe? Or to the Source? Does that create a debt?”

This brings up something I’ve been wanting to write about: Prayer energy.

Source vs gods

(g)ods are not the same as Source. I deliberately use a lowercase ‘g’ as opposed to a capital one to distinguish them from Source.

God, to my mind, is another name for Source. A god is very different to Source.  There are gods that represent an aspect of Source (but are not Source itself), and then there are gods who have jobs to do.

205 – Phoenix Rising In The Clouds.

The Move

Back in December 2015, my then partner, Dori, had decided to return home to her country of origin. The U.S.A.

She had moved to Australia to be an Assistant Dean at a local university.  I always knew she would one day return.

We had discussed her returning for a number of years. She asked me in 2011 if I wanted to come and I immediately said yes. It felt like the right choice.

It meant getting rid of 90% of my possessions in Australia and moving to a country with no plan or idea for the future.

It’s possible that many would have taken time to consider such a life changing decision. Maybe gone back and forth on if it was a smart idea or the right move.

For me, I just trusted my intuition. It had never been wrong and saying yes felt right. There was no anxiety, second guessing, or fear that things would not work out.
