Ouija - Board
by Rolf-Dietmar Ehrhardt
The following information and the pictures in the first part of the article below have been taken from http://www.witchboards.net. The second part of the article is written by Rolf-Dietmar Ehrhardt based on his personal experiences with a Ouija board, which were positive and profound. Remember, starting off with spirit communication can be helpful or harmful, depending mostly on our state of mind. Please refer to "Avoiding the unpleasant."
The name "ouija" comes from the French and German words for yes, "oui" and "ja." There are many different types of Ouija Boards, which can have differing layouts and can be made from a variety of materials. The board usually consists of the letters of the alphabet, 0-9 in numbers and the words, "Yes" and "No." The user or users of the board lightly touch a pointer (sometimes called a planchette) and the pointer moves and spells out the answers to questions asked of the ouija. Usually this pointer is mounted on castors to help it move freely about the board.

February 10th, 1891 marked a great day in history. The first Ouija board was patented by Charles Kennard. It is pretty much unknown who actually invented the Ouija board...but if I had to place my guess on it, it would be Elijah Bond. This is because his name is listed on the original patent documents under the title of 'Inventor". If Ouija boards were invented by someone else, such as Charles Kennard or William Fuld, why would they allow Elijah Bond to put his name on there like that? Still...the answer lies unknown. This was the first Ouija board ever made...it's also one of the only Ouija boards to be made out of actual wood (instead of veneered plywood). It's made of several horizontal boards joined together. There are two vertical boards on the back to help keep the board sturdy. They've done a wonderful job. This board is in amazing shape considering the 110+ years it's been on this planet. If only I could find a planchette for it.

Rolf-Dietmar Ehrhardt reports on his experiences
made on August 16th, 2001:
that is a continuation of the report given in "Talking table" with the same date.

one "professional" type
|
our home made board
|
The following experiment was also new to me. Our girlfriend used a home made Ouija board that was a carton paper recording the digits 0 - 9 and the fields JA (YES) and NEIN (NO) in the middle. A small mustard glass was employed as glass and indicator.
We hoped for being able to decrypt the name of the new entity, "appertaining" to me, now through the application of this procedure. Also here I would like to choose the enumeration mode again during the description.
-
We gathered around a table, sitting at 3 sides of the table, the Ouija board in front of us and onto that the glass with the aperture downwards.
-
After protecting ourselves again, we directed the inquiry onto Beyond, whether we could have contact again with that entity we were already in contact with using the "Talking table". Our 3 forefingers rested still on the glass with almost no pressure.
-
A whole while lasted to the moment a jerk through the glass went. We irritated looked at eachother since we thought that somebody of us could have caused this jerk. We stated this had not been the case obviously. And after that it lasted still several minutes until the glass moved suddenly. We asked then the entity to move the glass onto the fields JA and NEIN by turns. This came about too, however very slow and intermittent.
-
Now the question who it is was directed again onto the entity. The glass moved onto the different alphabetic characters (we had to follow only with our fingers / hands). Also errors occurred which were shown from beyond by circling the glass. The alphabetic characters and numbers shown by the glass were noted down now. After initial difficulties, we felt to have the right name. We read out the name and then something very strange came about: the glass made a circular fast movement on the Ouija board which lasted relatively long and surprised us very much. Onto the question of the lady whether this means joy the glass went immediately and with swing onto the field JA (YES).
-
Without demand the entity gave messages like this: Thanks to Mr. XY (known to us all well and still alive) that he managed to bring us together (what he really did).
-
Also here, just the same as at the experiences with "Talking table", I can say from own experience that we did not move the glass. The hung up fingers followed only the glass and no resistance was to be felt during the movement of the glass, as it would have had to occur for instance if 3 persons attempt, to coordinate access to different alphabetic characters which were not known to us. There is no doubt from my side: the glass moved itself and we followed with our fingers. Before one judges he should try it himself. I could not imagine that this experience would be so impressive.
The first part of this report can be seen soon in "Talking table".
