For anyone asking this is my exact board in the 16x10inch version! pandorawitch.shop/products/ouija-board-classic-dark-wood?variant=30864421814332

[@yenzireael8764]

I think this is the most beautiful ouija board I have ever seen 😍

[@littlefella]

How thick is the board?

[@EllaHarrison]

@@littlefella about 1cm I would guess which I think is a bit less than 1inch - it feels very nice and sturdy 😁

[@MaddyMaxxx]

It won't just go to word yes it will be spelled out.

[@robynstuart5474]

Im to scared to use a ouila board to dangerous il have to use salt around me if i use one

[@WskyGrl73]

I just ordered one. My husband passed recently. He's talking to me, lights flickering, crazy stuff. I KNOW his spirit is still here. I'll pray before i start.

[@maratammy950]

Im so sorry for ur loss😢😢😢😢 same tragedy happened to me in 2019🙏😓

[@adammitchell5683]

Did he talk to you yet??

[@shadowmoon6475]

Srry to hear this 🙏

[@lunalovegoodwitch]

Can you prove that

[@azazel_playz7055]

Funny thing is that 9 times out of 10 its a jinn acting as your husband to either -1 fuck with you as entertainment 2- to get something out of you Like leaving food outside so the demon can eat

[@vincentworster5816]

The best way to use a ouija board is to have someone that can connect with the spirit world and have them open up a prayer of protection and close down again safely, we always do that and have been using boards safely for years

[@NazriB]

Lies again? Spank Bang USD SGD

[@lordfoul6259]

My dad got me one for a Christmas present and this one time my mom and brother were using it when my brother's friend came over and we were calling upon our spirit guides and when we asked a question about my brother's friend it spelled out that he would commit suicide and that's when I was like this isn't our spirit guides and that's when we stopped and from now on I use my pendulum to contact my spirit guides and so far nothing bad has happened

[@the1tigglet]

Thank you for educating people I feel so frustrated sometimes when I see people say things about the ouija board or the myth that it let something evil into their lives especially when no one did a preliminary protection spell or rite before using it. I've subbed because of your common sense approach to things and my husband is wiccan so I thought while he's at work I'd learn more about his family's religion and practices.

[@nairbvel]

I suspect that that a statistically significant number of teenagers have spent at least a few minutes sitting around a Ouija board with friends going, "Is anybody there?" :-)

[@lunalovegoodwitch]

Everyone would probably say those words not just teenagers

[@lilsheba1]

Yay finally someone who pronounces Ouija correctly! Everyone usually calls it a Wee-gee board and that drives me nuts! lol

[@tyson7687]

I LOVE the tip for specifying who you're reaching out to. Regardless, of pendulum or spirit board, this is phenomenal advice!

[@abbyaguilera2833]

I just got my first spirit board, I never used them before but I felt SO drawn to this one. But it has just been sitting on my altar because I was looking for actually informative video or source that wasn't clickbait before I used it. Thank you SO much for this video!

[@coffeecocoa566]

I'm interested on how it'll go. If you don't mind, could you share your experience if you have already try it?

[@abbyaguilera2833]

@@coffeecocoa566 I have not tried it yet, but I will @ you with how it goes when I do!!

Did you end up trying it?

[@shadowmoon6475]

Same here I big in to paranormal 🙂

[@pw1187]

With anything, that is divination base You have to have any healthy dose of respect..which you pointed out in your video.. My ouija board is 122 years old wish I could post a picture on here was made in 1899... As always a nice video..

[@meghanalr]

Its important to direct you question to specific entity... Like the universe, holy spirit, your guardian angels/ spirits... Maybe sure you feel safe and you are safe

[@natalier.6775]

I'm so grateful and stoked that you decided to discuss this particular topic as Ouija has been calling to me recently And, yes, I've had some doubts and worries about it. I'm happy you laid it out so Simply and beautifully like so. Thanks sweet woman! ❤️🕯💫

[@tattianaanderson]

I couldn't have said it better myself! I've had an itch to do it and I did it for the first time this year for just a minute or two but it was like no other method of divination I've used before. I have my fears but I also am very drawn to it.

[@moonshineaudios5740]

Same! I’ve been called to purchasing one as well!!

[@danieltompkins777]

I recently just got my board but I didn't know you could connect with yourself through it and definitely want to try that now

[@mymyMelly]

Update us if you do use it and tell us your experience

[@adityamahadik3642]

Are you still alive?

[@klk.40]

Great advice, I started using the spirit board at 5yrs lol. I’ve never had a problem however I speak for myself. It’s a learning process that never stops teaching!

[@theblueman3412]

This video is on time. I love your approach to the board. I have one but have yet to use it. I believe the word you were searching for around 4:44 is "respect". Respect can be a good description for fear, although it is not fear at all. I guess my biggest issue is I am alone in my practice, have never used the board, so I will be using the board alone. BTW- I love your board and will take a look at the link you provided. Thank you.

[@toasteebagelz]

thank you! i was looking for a good explanation of the uses of an Ouija Board that didnt describe it as a game

[@ToniaOlivera13]

Thank you for your honesty and knowledge

[@user-vq3jr8ne4u]

I think it also depends on what you’re comfortable using too, I know a lot of witches use different methods based on how they were originally raised

[@thecoffeecupwitch1248]

LOVE the Pandora ouija boards!! I want another one, I have my round board for my gallery wall in my office but I want one for use too 🥰♥️

[@tattianaanderson]

I love your channel! From one fellow witch to another keep up the great work! Love and light to you! 💜✨🕯️

[@dannywuzherex]

I found this video very helpful, I’ll be getting one soon and wanted to educate myself so I found this super helpful

[@rekcahsyt]

About a month or two ago i had ordered a ouija board for myself and it came in today. I watched your video afterwards and i had got the same one from the same shop! Even the color and size are the same.

Hey Ella, thanks for taking time to make this, new subscriber here! I'm a Christian minister who is always excited to learn new things and interested in how all walks of people approach the spirit world. A lot of helpful tips here and much appreciated 😃👍

[@bruce9391]

Thank you for your video it was very helpful

[@the1tigglet]

There are soooooo many types of protections across all of the world's religions and spiritual practices it's incredible, the christians will use holy water in a circle, spiritualists have been known to use circles of salt or salt peter, ocean salt is great, the voodoo practitioners use black salt, and mystics use rose water or water made from lotus flower, navajo use sand so it's just what you feel works for you.

[@junemiller9718]

oh no I don't mess with the board the problem with that is you really don't know who you're communicating with.

[@foreverseeking1380]

omg i got a board from them and will be ordering another as they are amazing

[@user-zr7qm7zf4o]

I tend block a lot of stuff from coming through. I’ve used boards in “safe” and “unsafe” ways and have never had a result. I Ching has been relatively beneficial. Interested in familiarizing myself with a more direct method. Great vid! ❤

[@caveman3021]

That is a beautiful board! 😍 Classic Fuld-Parker Brothers design on real wood is the best of both worlds! Your very lucky, and whoever made this did a great job!👍

[@jasminblanc8354]

Hello, dear Ella. In my research of using Ouija boards I stumbled across your KZbin video that I found refreshing, informative, and encouraging. Do you have any book recommendations I might consider that discusses safe Ouija board practices? I’m specifically looking for appropriate protective language for before, during, and closing sessions. Thank you and blessings!

[@roberttravers7587]

Great video!😁

[@jesifowler-ck4ow]

Loved how right after you said that the ouija board is just another divination tool and does nothing on its own, then it’s position on the table moved

[@Serenanena87]

Hello Ella, I know that this video is super old and that you are moving to Germany, so I am not sure you'll be able to answer me but I'll try anyway :) First of all, thanks for the video! It it extremely useful, especially to break the stigma around the ouija. I'd like to ask you a couple of questions: -What type of protection spell do you use to initiate the reading? -What type of spell do you use for the ending? -Do you use sage? If not, what do you use? -Can you use the ouija to communicate with spirits alone? -What if there are no spirits in your house? thanks :)

[@Kbwhite1111]

Love this

[@zenjon7892]

I'm going to make one this Friday. I have some friends in the ether I miss badly

[@akasharaye]

Last year during Samhain I tried. I had a negative experience. On the same day or the following evening, some force wrecked my phone from my hands. The phone flew half a meter behind me and broke. and I protected myself and tried to be respectful.

[@jackpomeroy6910]

Mabye not the best time to use such a powerful tool

[@Zullala]

Hello! This is one of the only serious videos I could find in quija. Thank you! I had a question about your board. I want a nice one but I'm afraid to spend a lot of money on a one that just ends up looking pretty but doesn't work (I.E. its not snooth and the planchet is stuck). I like the one in your video but do you like it for divination?

[@EllaHarrison]

I definitely love this one its very smooth! It feels sturdy too and not flimsy or like its cheaply made, worth the investment!

[@vk2icj]

Merry met. I have only used the variety that comes from the box stores. Your board looks engraved with the letters and numbers. Does that affect the planchet at all when sliding along?

[@drodriguezsr]

Female cousins when they were little had a Witch’s Board And other games In the closet she was with other friends when they decided to play games they were talking among themselves as to what they should play so my cousin pulled out a checkerboard and we’re going to play on the Ground in their bedroom when all of a sudden the witch’s is bored floated softly to the ground they got scared and went and told my aunt they got the board and burnt it what should they have really done ?..

[@katzumihanzo5471]

so, all Ouija's are connected to a portal; all of them have an open portal????

[@Quantum-Omega]

Ella is very spiritual and very beautiful.

[@vernell2601]

I got the most beautiful board. It is hand made locally, the board is burned into white oak the planchette is Purple Heart.

[@ZenShawoom]

A very lovely and informative video. Me personally I never got any spooky vibe using a spirit board. I prefer using it to understand my subconscious. This isn't spooky at all. Hehehe 😄 I do have a couple deities I work with when I use a spirit board also. Yet they are deeply loving and caring. With all respect, I enjoy how you explain the spirit board then a couple of KZbinrs. I have a spirit board with Hecate, and the one coming in the mall is theme with the High Priestess. Thanks again for the lovely video. "Have a gentle heart and peaceful mind.

[@teresabailey7400]

Hey ella one question but if someone tries to use a spirit board to get In touch with their deseced loved ones is it their descsced loved ones that they're talking to or is it actually demons that they're talking to

[@EllaHarrison]

If you watch the video fully I answer that question

@EllaHarrison where can i get that fur rug you put your Ouija board on?

[@BlueVelours]

Can someone recommend me a book on how to use the ouija board and such? I've always felt thrown to it and I'm not scared, but I would like to do this right. 😊✨✨

[@krissymarie6800]

How do you store your ouija board if you don't want to keep it out? I know you need your planchette separate from the board. I was thinking I could put the board upside down in a nice box and put the planchet in a velvet drawstring bag in the box. Would that be a good idea?

[@EllaHarrison]

Thats a great idea! I have the Ouija board on my gallery wall actually and the planchette I keep in a little velvet bag in a drawer 😊

[@Craftistemv]

A question: who did the first user of a Ouija board turn to to learn how to use it from someone with experience?

[@keweidoodles8406]

I want to use one to talk to my spirit guides and it it okay to make a diy one?

I used one of these bout 8 years ago with a group of friends. It was cool until a spirit attached itself to me. It was crazy, there was footsteps all around us while using it. Love contacting the other side but having attachment isn’t fun.

my question is, does it really move? did you try playing it alone?

[@anrimiletic]

I've never used a ouija board and I'm wondering if it moves on its own while we hold hands or if we have to move it

[@EllaHarrison]

The spirit moves through us - so we technically move it but we allow the spirit to guide us - similar to how you are guided to pick a tarot card or a rune in its pouch

[@lunalovegoodwitch]

Interesting but I am completely opposite I am very hesitant to Use the spirit board with other people since I am always wondering whether the other people are just purposely pushing the Indicator on purpose

[@EllaHarrison]

That’s definitely been something I have thought too but thats why you definitely need to do it with people who are genuine as well

[@amandaladouceur3011]

Just because the box says "ages 8+" doesnt mean its safe for those ages

[@EllaHarrison]

I agree! I would dare say you can’t really put an age on it at all, if I were to one day have a child and the child shows an interest at the age of 8 and we are using the board together I wouldn’t see a problem with that - it just completely depends on the individual situation, I would NOT let my 8 year old future kid try it by themselves with their friends alone and unsupervised. Some 40 year olds aren’t ready yet to use the board - which is fine too. Its just a strange thing that this was ever made into a ‘board game’ with age recommendations at all

[@marastar208]

I really see these like any other tools and I think the "hype" around them creates a very negative psychological atmosphere. I also find that involving others "muddles" the energy coming through and it is pretty rare for me to work with others unless they are just sitting in the circle as the querent. That is particularly important if the goal is to speak to someone the person has lost. I think creating a ritual around using the board is something anyone using it should do.

[@EllaHarrison]

Unfortunately sometimes spirits don’t have anything to say to us, as heartbreaking as that sometimes can be, though I understand the feeling. Let it sit for a while, perhaps one day you’ll feel like trying it again or like a spirit is trying to come through I tend to only use it when I feel like a spirit is reaching out to me more
