Your Psychic Says... by Alan Bridges

Thursday 10 March 2010

  Alan Bridges is PsychicBridges
Should we ban Ouija boards
to save our children?

Here's our topic — let's discuss in Psychic Chat!

Ouija boards have been in the news again. It’s not that they’ve been featured in any new films or that anything untoward has happened – although some might say that we’ve escaped calamity but by the skin of our teeth. No, what’s got the vocal minorities worked up this time is that Hasbro, the American toy manufacturer, has produced a line of Ouija boards in bright pink and pitched toward young girls.

The new and very bright board comes with 72 questions to ask as well as a fuzzy carrying case so that today’s girl is never without her answers. I have to say that it all seems pretty innocuous to me. I really struggle to see it as the one-way ticket to demonic possession that others have labelled it in the name of consumer protection.

If you ask me, it’s another example of a bunch of middle-class do-gooders with too much time on their hands.

Ouija boards have been and continue to be sold as a game. Now just because something is sold as a game doesn’t mean that it cannot be misused or that it should be left in the hands of babes without supervision.

Personally, I’ve never really got into the use of Ouija boards. I find them cumbersome and painstakingly slow. You might say that I prefer to go to the source. Moreover, I’m far too impatient to keep spelling things out letter by letter. In that scenario, I’m much more of a let’s-get-on-with-it kind of guy. But I fully recognise the fun, yes the fun, that can be had with them.

To be sure, if you mention the name Ouija in some circles, you won’t be able to count to ten before someone starts spouting some urban myth about a friend of a friend’s neighbour’s ex-boyfriend who played with it one night and then had to have the house exorcised.

Do I believe in spirits? Yes. Do I believe that we can communicate with them? Again, yes. Does the Ouija board facilitate that type of communication? Indeed, it can. So Ouija boards still have a place in the modern world. They can also be instrumental in teaching our youngsters that there’s something else other than the physical – be it our own intuition or the spirits of those who have crossed over.

It’s my experience that it’s far more likely for a Ouija board session to end in arguments over who in the group pushed the planchette than actual communication. And if information does come through, then we should be encouraging the kiddies to have fun with it and take it with a MASSIVE pinch of salt.

Just as no-one in their right mind should turn their life over to a living, breathing medium, no-one should do what a plastic board tells them to do. I completely accept that children need to be guided and guarded. But when I consider all that takes place on TV and all the influences they are regularly subjected to on the internet, hunkering down and playing with a Ouija board – be it the pink or the glow-in-the-dark edition – seems to me to be one of the safest things to do.

Alas, people cannot leave well enough alone. A campaign was launched on Facebook and Hasbro has since announced that it would be phasing out the “limited-edition pink Ouija boards”. If I were on the Hasbro board, I’d be secretly thanking all the protesters as this psychic predicts that sales of Ouija boards are about to spike due to all the free publicity that such campaigns inadvertently bring about.

If you’ve got a burning question in your life, by all means give your Ouija board a try. If it doesn’t work or you’re like me and want your answer in full and complete sentences, then perhaps I can help. Check out the range of readings I offer. Then, consider the comments and feedback from those I’ve read for, peruse my writings and check out my background. Perhaps I’m just the psychic for you.

As always, feel free to contact me with any comments, suggestions or feedback on PsychicBridges. And don’t forget to join me and the rest of the PsychicBridges community in the Psychic Chat forums!

Thanks again for all your support and until next time,

Kindest regards,

Alan
