Since all people are psychic, it becomes necessary to discourage the used of pre-manufactured psychic devices – unless you have a full understanding of all that these things encompass.  Sadly, many psychic devices are marketed today as "toys" and objects of curiosity often bringing landslides of woe on unsuspecting users.

At the top of my no-no list is the popular Quija board.  These boards were developed in the late 1800's and consisted of a black board with the letters A-Z placed in half moon arch across the top of the board and the words "yes" and "no" at the bottom.  One or two users placed their finger tips on planchette, that then glides from letter to spell out answers to questions asked by the users – seemingly by magic. These boards were refined and standardized by William Fuld in 1892 who was then the owner of the Kennard Novelty Company who sold millions of these boards before the company was bought out by Parker Brothers who still sells and markets these boards today.

One of the draws of these boards is that people don't understand what moves the planchette or what gives the "answers" sometimes good, sometimes bad and sometimes vicious.  So the novelty of these boards have endured for over a hundred years – not without quite a few causalities.

The "magic" and success of these boards is that people don't understand what moves the planchette.  Simply put it's electrical.  When someone who has a lot energy in their aura body or when two people join their aura body's energies together by touching the planchette – their combined electrical aura body energy creates an electrical change between the felted feet of the planchette and the board. Because the planchette is so light, a nonphysical entity can slip into the board from the bottom side and create a closed circuit of energy.  This way the nonphysical entity can DRAW on the energy of the user's aura body to move the planchette to spell out messages.

So with a two way or three way energy feed, this effectively creates not only a complete energy circuit, but it opens up an electrical portal between the physical and the nonphysical reams.  Without precautions, anything can, and will, come through the board to chat.  Make no mistake that ANYTHING can come through once you create this circuit and open the portal.  Sometimes the planchette will not move at all.  This means that no entity has come forward to complete the electrical circuit.  Sometimes a guide, or friendly entity will come through and the information can be very good.  Other times, sometimes without warning, something else will charge in and take over and give bad or leading or frightening answers.

 Negative entities often play a game with board users.  They often start by giving vague or half answers that keep the users asking more and more questions so they will use the board more often. Each time the users use the board the electrical circuit becomes stronger and stronger as the nonphysical entity begins drawing more and more energy from the user's aura body. With regular use, a negative entity will begin drawing more and more energy from the physical body establishing a vibrationial match with the user or users – until they have enough energy to either do a physical body take over or cause  whole environments to come under their control with the energy they collect during sessions.  Most sensitive users will notice with progressive uses of these boards, that it begins with a cooling of the finger tips, then the hand, then the wrist, then the whole arm will go cold and often numb.  This progression shows how the entity is drawing more and more energy out of a physical body.  

For used boards brought into a house – you are effectively bringing an open nonphysical entity portal into your home – where anything can come through. For very high energy people – like young children – it often takes only a few uses before the entity establishes a matching vibrationial pattern with the user to "hook" into their aura body directly.  When this electrical link is established we end up with what is called a "possession" or a high jacked body taken over by a negative nonphysical entity.

There is a long and ugly history of body take over's associated with the Quija boards.  The most publicized Quija board account was made into a film called, The Exorcist (1973) which is based on a true story and is perhaps the most extensively documented possession case to date.  This true story began with a young boy (Yes, the film uses a girl) playing with a Quija board which progressed to a dark entity possessing the child and ended with two very real deaths and the exorcism of the child by priests and an angel months later.  This is not, by far the only documented story associated with Quija boards – they have a very long and dark history and some incidents to people were written off as "accidents."

It is also important to steer clear of other divination devices until you understand all the ramifications of using it and the protections and safeguards for it. This includes any kind of manufactured board that requires aura body electric energy to move a planchette. Other devices for divination include; divining rods, pendulums, rune stones, tarot decks and any other device used for prediction.  Never use these things until you understand ALL the risks and know the protections and safeguards for them.

Never allow children to handle divination devices without proper and extensive training. Children are among the most psychic entities on earth because the carry with them the streaming in power of dynamic energy.  Each child is like a hydro-electric power plant of energy and a dark entity tapped into all that power can become a very dangerous, even life threatening multi-entity.

The best advice, especially for psychically sensitive people, is to steer clear of any kind of divination device. Do NOT allow a Quija board in your house, you can't know what is already lurking inside it or what portals it will open inside your house.  If you wish to work with a letter board there are safe ways to do that by building one yourself from scratch building it with every safe guard in place before you use it.

While there are a good many stories about the bad side of letter boards (bad press sells better than good press), it is also important to know that a good many light beings have come through homemade, protected letter boards. 

For example, the Seth entity came through originally on a letter board.  In time Jane Roberts learned to channel the entity Seth with trans-mediumship .  Together they wrote many books, like; The Coming of Seth, The Seth Material and so on.  Also the multi-entity Abraham first came through a letter board and since then there has been many cessions of enlightenment that has come through Esther Hicks which is the channel for the Abraham entity. Together they have written many books of spiritual enlightenment such as; Ask and it is Given, The Law of Attraction and many more.

So not everything associated with letter boards are bad. Many, in fact, are quite wonderful. Many years ago I worked with letter board and closely questioned the entity on the best way to build a SAFE board.  I will pass these on to you.  Some people will try these anyway no matter what warning are giving. But it is possible to make a board as safe as you can make. However it is critical that you learn to shield first, before you attempt to build a safe board from scratch.  You can learn this by going to: http://www.psychicschoolhouse.com/HTMakePsychicShields.htm

After that it is a matter of creating the board and keeping it safe.  Here is what you will need:

Items you will need…

The Board:

1 Standard sized cutting board (House wares at department store)
1 package of stick-on felt circles size small (Hardware department)
1 package of 1 inch stick-on or rub-on letters (Mail box letters or rub-on letters in scrap booking department)
1 box of colored pencils (do not use wide magic markers)
(Optional) 1 package of multicolor pilot point fine pens (for detail work)
(Optional) 1 package of tap in round feet- or 4 round upholstery tacks (Hardware department)
1 tube of silicone rubber
1 piece of glass cut to fit cutting board – with sanded smooth edges (order at glass shop – take board with you)
Computer generated images or rub on images from scrap book stock
Glue stick if using above

Planchette:

1 heart or rectangle shaped piece of 1/8 inch balsa wood at least 3" wide to 5"long, approximately.
1 half inch wood dowel cut into 2" inch lengths
1 vending machine toy that comes in a round container with a clear snap lid
4 extra small stick-on round felt pads from package above
Enamel paint (optional)

Tools you will need…

1 Exacto knife or a small utility knife for carving
Ruler
A curved object to make oval arch's (an oval platter works great)
Tack hammer
Paint brushes craft – small
Small piece of sand paper or a fine file
Small saw
Craft glue or glue gun

Step 1:

Buy or collect the items above.  Buy new items or use items that have not been used before – with the exception of pens, paint, glue and such.  Buy a standard hardwood cutting board that is as flat as you can find – test it by laying it flat on the floor – it must be level. Be sure to pick a light color so things will show up on it.

Step 2:

Take the cutting board to a glass shop and have them cut a clear glass that covers the entire top of the cutting board to the curved edges. It must lay flat without hanging over. Have them sand all the edges smooth so that there are no sharp edges.  Do not have them attach it in any way. Keep the plastic cover on the board while the glass shop has it.

Step 3: Building the Planchette:

The planchette is the moving part of the letter board that will create an electrical connection between you and the nonphysical realm. This part glides over the board pointing to letters or images to communicate. While the glass is being prepared for the board, you can begin work on the planchette.

1. Cut or shape wood into a desired shape. Round all the edges. Lightly sand the edges of the balsa wood to remove any sharp edges.
2. Lightly draw an X on the wood to get the exact center.
3. Remove clear cap from vending machine round container. (This will be your window in the planchette)
4. Using your Exacto blade carefully trim off the side rim (the part that snapped to the other part of container) so you have just the convex dome.
5. Using a twirling motion put your Exacto blade into the center of the X you drew on the balsa wood and slowly widen the hole until it is just a bit smaller than your window.  Sand lightly to remove any sharp edges.
6. Cut wooden dowel into 4 2-inch long pieces. Sand lightly to get as flat as you can and to remove any splinters.
7. Flip over balsa wood with the hole in it and make 1 indentation hole (do not go all the way through the wood) in each corner about 2/4 inch inward from the edge make the same size as your dowels.  Sand lightly.
8. Glue dowels into balsa wood and let dry – you should have what looks like a tiny table with a hole in the center.  Test to make sure it sits flat – sand to level if needed.
9. Paint Planchette a light color in enamel paints if desired. Let dry.
10. Glue clear plastic dome over center hole (top or bottom it doesn't matter)
11. Peel off 4 felt circles and apply to bottom of legs.

Step 4: Building the Letter Board

The letter board will be the keyboard where you make communications between yourself and the nonphysical entity that chooses to come through.  The more communication options you build into the board the better and faster your communications will be.

1. Using a ruler find the center of the board and make a light mark.
2. Using a platter as a curved edge make two upward curving lines well above the center.  Use you letter height to judge the distance – but sure to leave space between the letters.  Do one curve and lay out your letters and then do the second curve and lay out the rest of your letter adjusting the distance.
3. Use the platter to make a downward curve below the center mark.  This curve will be where your numbers go. Be sure to leave a few inches of space between the upper and lower curve.
4. Lay out your letters and numbers and paste or rub on.
5. Using a ruler line up Yes and No and any other words between the two curved lines of letters and numbers.
6. Draw, paste or rub on art, symbols and any other words around the edges in a pleasing deign.
7. Flip board over and apply 4 feet using a tack hammer. (optional)
8. Clean glass. Apply1felt dot about one inch in from each corner. Flip and lay over letter board.

Step 5: Bless the Board & Planchette

Place the board and planchette in a good location and bless it. If you have holy water sprinkle the glass with it.  Be sure to include that is board is to only to be used by light beings and banish any and all dark entities from entering it. Flip the board over and using holy water or purified water write the name of you favorite angel on the back. Do the same with the planchette.

Step 6: Store the board & Planchette

Use a pillow case or a soft cloth to wrap the board in to store it. Never store it near metal, books, other relics or objects. Clean the glass before each use.

Step 7: Use the Board

Use the board a few times to get a feel for how the entities are communicating with you. Add other letters, images or words as you need. When you have all the words, images and symbols you like on the board go to step 8.

ALWAYS USE THE LETTER BOARD SHIELDED!

Step 8: Seal the Board

Clean both sides of the glass carefully.  Lay the glass over the letter board and line up all the edges evenly. Gently apply a steady bead of silicone rubber all the way around to edges to seal the glass to the board. Leave a couple of tiny holes in the edges to allow for shrinking and expanding of heat and cold.  Let the silicone rubber dry for 24 hours.

Step 9: Bless the Board

In a formal cession, bless the board by putting in all the safe guards that it is only to be used by light entities, for truth and knowledge.  Using holy water or blessed water write the name of your favorite angel on the back in water – let dry for 24 hours.

Step 10: Storage

Carefully, cover the board and planchette in its own case.  A pillow case works well – place the planchette in a padded box and store with the board. Store the letter board well away from metal or other objects.  The bottom of a clothing closet works well.

Rules for using the letter board

1. Never let children near the board – ever.
2. Set up a time frame for using the board and write up your questions in advance.
3. Always shield your self, the letter board and any partner you choose to work with.
4. Keep board cessions short – 30 minutes to an hour max.
5. Record all the data given to you from the board – the best way to use the board is with 3 people. Two to feed the planchette and one to record the data.
6. If at any time you feel the board drawing energy from your hand, wrist or arm, stop using the board at once. Put the board through another formal blessing ceremony before you use it again.
7. Store the board in a safe place between cessions.

I will be doing a workshop on this on July 8th.  If you missed the cession and would like more information, the board icons or letters please email me directly.
