The use of such a tool for the sole purpose of spirit communication does not belong in the hands of children. Until people, of sound mind, take the
time to learn about the seriousness of understanding the spirit realm, coming to an awareness of what it means to discipline the mind, focus and
discern the spirits, they are as children. The Ouija Board, though sold as a toy, is not a toy by any definition and there are those who have suffered
the consequences of their own ignorance by using it.
It has been explained that the dangers of using an Ouija Board come from the ease of contacting the "lower spirits" or the more malevolent spirits
that remain earthbound. These are said to be the criminal element while in life and those who retain angry and hostile emotions at death, not having
good intentions. You have no control over who responds when you evoke spirits by means of an Ouija Board. That seems to be the one point everyone
agrees upon be they pro or con to its use. Responding entities have been known to lie and deceive by the answers they give, being very convincing by
using the name of the one the user intends to contact. Unless you know the right questions to ask, you may never know the difference.
