I’m not surprised toy stores sell these now. I’ve seen garden/hardware store sell pottery buddhas.

100% satanic.

Not unless they spew out of the depths of hell and land in your lap. They are no more “of Satan” than rock-and-roll music was “the devil’s music” back in the 50s. They are inanimate objects, made by man.

I think we should outlaw Magic 8 Balls while we’re at it. Clearly the Devil’s work.

had one as a kid. weird things happened. had to burn it, only worked with kerosene. Flames up to 10 feet high, very scary.

Actually, so is meteorology. Divination of any sort is a no-no. The Almighty has His line, man chooses his own.

I have heard stories about what people have been able to do with those boards, including summoning demons and placing hexes on people. If used wrong, they can also be extremely harmful to the user.

Funny, we were just talking about this a couple days ago. My refusal to ever allow one in the house was judged by wife and kids as a proof of my being very superstitious. Too bad, I still won’t allow it and could not care less if they think (rightly so, anyway) that I’m slightly “off”.

It is wise to avoid summoning demons. Demons, once invited, may be disinclined to leave.

It sure is Satanic. God forbid someone pushes that pointer to the answer you want. Wow! I tried this with friends before and it is so lame. I can’t imagine giving this game credence. Sad!!!!

Actually, Ouija has been sold as a game for decades (first by Parker Brothers, I believe). I remember seeing commercials for it when I was a young'un (I'm in my late 40s now).

I wouldn’t touch one with a 10-foot pole. They scare the beejeebeez out of me.

Did you mean to say Astrology?

[sweet_diane]

The board, or any item, can be used for satanic purposes. Had one as a kid but tossed it...creepy.

I saw all the Harry Potter movies. Never saw a Ouija Board in any of them. However, my grandparents used to tell us to stay away from the Italian kids because they were...Catholic.

What about the Irish kids? :)

[j.argese]

No. Meteorology, weather forecasting.

What about my talking Donald Trump doll? Should I no longer consult him for guidance?
