does it open portals to the dead or evil\n?

3 am in the morning is the time that is most "open" to spiritual energies.\n\nAt this time they find it easier to manifest themselves in the energy sources around them.

A medium is able to see and/or communicate with the dead; seance or no.

I find it interesting that you reference the planchette rather than the Ouija board since really it is the planchette which is most directly influenced by the spirit, since it's the the thing which moves. As for whether or not the spirit gives the right answers, that depends on the spirit.

I wouldn't call it evil because it works for some people. It shows them a way to live a better life. Allow people to believe and live as they choose just as you would like to be treated with that same respect.Spread love and light up the world.\nLove & Light\nSharon\nOne Planet = One People

It is a good question, but torture and other evils have been around for a long time.  People can be truly evil.\nWish I had a better answer.

Dear Hertzenator,\n\nI have deeply researched such phenomena for a while now.  The responses of "zbelle" and "jellies1324" are correct.  \nHowever, some things.  There are spirits and then there are ghosts.  Spirits are the light entities which have already been to the Other Side or whatever one wishes to call it.  They are pure beings, beings who, upon their death, have embraced that "light tunnel" and God and followed their soul way home.  They will never scare you or make you feel uncomfortable when trying to contact you, in fact, they are very subtle regarding that, and one has to be very sensitive and attentive to everything that is going on around them if you are expecting a spirit to send a message to you, they are rarely flashy or terrifying when they contact you.  If they are unknowingly frightening you, they will back off when you just say so out loud and ask them not to "bug" you like that.\nGhosts, however, are human energies who, upon their death, were either killed too quickly, had what they felt was "unfinished business", or plainly refused to embrace the light, or, they may not know they are dead!  In the case of a ghost, "zbelle" and "jellies" wrote what any educated "ghost phenomena" individual would write.  You must be an individual who emanates a specific light around you, and it is that light that attracts ghosts, because, guess what, you have the gift and ability to help them!  I would encourage you to study and develop your gift, and be that light which helps guide the "lost, confused" souls "home", to embrace that tender, loving light that is calling to them.  Now, these ghosts are actual people, and like people, they may not always listen.  They may not always be reasonable or even kind, but do not be afraid.  Whatever they do, a ghost energy cannot harm you.  You have the gift and everything else that you need in order to utilize it.  Please, have faith in yourself.  Ask him or her their name, see if they respond in some way.  Be open to responses of all kinds!  Ask them how you may be able to help.  Tell them if they know they are dead, they can go home now.  If they won't until something has been resolved (I have come across cases like that), see if they can show or tell you what they want done.  For example, a woman's ghost stuck around a subway station and unknowingly kept spooking sensitive individuals.  An energy sensitive woman acquaintance of mine went to help investigate, and it came out that the woman was waiting for somebody to listen to her, she wanted her murdered daughter's body found where she pinpointed it and she wanted it properly buried, only then did she leave.  \nOr, it may simply be a stubborn individual who refuses to accept the fact they they are dead, that they can go home, that they will not go to "hell" unless they send themselves there.  All they have to do is accept their death and go on to their loving spirit home where all their friends and family are eagerly rooting for them.  You may wish to recruit the help of another sensitive individual like yourself and see what they both of you can accomplish.  You can turn out to be the hero in that soul's path!  Please, if you find that the ghost is difficult to deal with, if it is panicky or in a distressed state, as some are, definitely enlist the help of others like yourself who believe and are open and sensitive.  Do not get discouraged.  They think it is their home first and foremost and they maysee youu as the intruder, so please be sensitive.  And above all, please do not let these efforts of mine be in vain.  Take action, take any action.  And when it is all resolved, which may take months, years, or minutes, you will be so much more confident, brave, calm, and efficient in such situations.  You may even learn to find humour with these ghosts or even spirits, they are, or were,  individuals, after

To flesh out the metaphor here ... money may be the root of evil, but it still has to be watered and weeded and whatnot before it turns into a BIG EVIL PLANT!  In a good person's garden, the root may stay just that, a root, under the ground and not becoming anything to be concerned about.  \n\npotential and reality are two different things.  just because money encourages evil doesn't mean everyone will make those kinds of nasty choices with it.  some will, some won't.

Many, including myself, would argue that it won't work no matter what.\n\nHere's some good info on it, though: \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouija

i have some close friends that are very good at using necromancy or the spell energy they get from the dead. spider was a friend for a long time and he was an adept at necromancy. i am a wizard and i use other forms of magick building, it seems to me disrespectful for me to use the energy of the dead but spider does it daily. has some amazing books on it and im not talking necronomicon. h.p. lovecrafts joke of a serious magick book.

I have, actually, and ironically, I just answered a question a few minutes ago that reminded me of that.  I had a near death experience, and I think the entity I was talking to could be described as a Guardian Angel, although I don't remember there being a specific visual image of an angel.  More like a light.  But it was clearly benevolent, and had a style something like a teacher or mentor.

I'm Christian and I believe that being able to communicate with ghosts is a gift not a curse.\nIn fact Christians should know this because in the bible it says that one of the gifts from the holy spirit is a 6th sense. I'm not sure where it says this but I do know that it does say it because I read it. I would love to be able to speak to spirits and I think that anyone who can is truly blessed. Besides, I think that it's the Catholic Christians who say that it's a curse, but I'm not certain. Now that you have me thinking you should also ask; If you can speak to the dead than does this mean your possessed? I mean come on. These Christians must have a lot of sins that they need to cover up if they feel the need to tell someone that they're being influenced by the devil. After all isn't it true that your more likely to tell someone what their doing wrong when in fact it's you who's doing something wrong?

As a teenager, before I was a Christian, I had a personal experience with using a Ouija board and it actually worked!\nI agree with you about a fallen angel manipulated it, because it followed me home and tried  to bother me.\n\nOnce as a teen, I messed around in a haunted house and an evil spirit followed me home and actually tried to possess my body. So people out there, beware! Leave the Ouija boards and haunted houses alone!

The Ouija Board is a conductor for evil spirits. It's like a doorway. If you open yourself up to them they will take advantage of the opportunity. Ouija boards are not toys. They do work for some people. I will not have one in my house.

Yes, we are all torn between good and evil all the time.\nBut we all have our free will which one to choose.\nTo visit the dark side is very tempting once in awhile but come to think of it, does it really worth it? Every wrong decisions we make is a start of disaster, what you sow is what you reap. If you think a small evil won't do you any harm, you are wrong. Have you seen a ripple in the water? Try to create one small ripple and see what will happen. If you want to be remembered good, then do the good things. Good works, good karma. It's as simple as that.

Great question.\n\n1. Yes, because things may be very interesting in an afterlife.\n\n2. I'd say, the transcendental force.  I'd like a chance for us, as sentient beings, to be able to experience alternate realities and transcend our own nature.\n\n3. Yea!  Think of how interesting science may be in the next level.\n\n4.  Surprise me!
