I think Quijas are not toys and therefore children shouldn't play with them. I don't even think adults should play with them. I've seen what they can deliver and it's not good.  |

I honestly think if they're old enough to understand and use it properly, it should be allowed because if not, they're just gonna use it for fun. I had one when I was little and never used it in anything other than good fun. so I don't think there should be an age limit. Maybe I feel this way because I've never been able to contact anything or anyone...and believe me i've tried.  |

*IF* I ever have any kids I don't think I would allow them to have one. Nor would I ever allow one in my house. I don't trust them, atleast not in the hands of someone who doesn't know what they are doing.  |

I would not. But, that is because I have had some experience myself with Ouija. I know firsthand that it can be dangerous and that it is definitely not a toy.  |

I used to have one, but I would never purchase another one as long as my kids still live in my house. I just don't want them around it because it could cause them harm. I wouldn't let my kids buy one or allow it in my house either.  |

I think Sundance covered this one for me. Let's ask another question. "Would you allow someone under 18 to have CRAYONS AND A COLORING BOOK in your house?" THIS ISN'T A DEBATE. |

From Authorid: 55970
I don't see why not. My mom has never let me have one, and my curiosity is killing me, so I would buy one for myself. And then later, when the kids are old enough to understand it, I might let them use it, depending on what kind of experiences I had with it *Jewel Fernandez*  |

54196, Any post that uses the words "I think" or "I feel" giving opinions or beliefs is a debate, because people can debate what they state. If the author4 only asked a question it would be a discussion. |

This is a QUESTION, Hawk. Where's the debateable materia? And don't we have a section ENTIRELY for Ouija topics? |

The debateable material is the authors opinions. If she/he was just asking questions then it would be a DISCUSSION. Yes, there is a section for ouija topics, but this is also a debate. If you would like to be a monitor just message admin and stick to the topic of the post. |

i have read somewhere that the Ouija board is a hoax. Its has something to do with the (not spelt right) subconcinse part of your mind, im searching for it right now cuz i can't rember where i found it. But when i do i'll post it up..but i guess i wouldn't mind haveing my kid play with them, i played with them as a kid, they are just a lot of fun.. RacerX |

I agree with you that it is a tool, but I think you underestimate our youth. Many children's imaginations and inocence allow them to 'sense' things that adults don't, so if your concerned they won't know if they are talking to a 'good' spirit or a 'bad' spirit, I think our children would sense it. I don't see any problem with giving our children ouija boards.  |

Loserpunk, while it is in the form of a question of course it can be turned into a debate really fast.
I'm with TOM I wont allow one in the house NO MATTER how old a person is. And although its mentioned that those over the age of 18 can *discern* so to speak the good spirits and the bad ones. I disagree. If you dont beleive me on the age thing, well ask Lady hawk for one and read all those post LSG wrote on poor poor Inferno!! NOPE wouldnt have one. NOW while the problem with INFERNO may NOT have come from the board, the fact is NO matter HOW old you are, YOU can be taken in by a bad spirit, and hurt.  |

Plus the fact that EVEN having one in your house leaves the DOOR open for bad spirits to enter ones house. Read LSG recent post about the invisible critter going across her computer. Apparently spirits CANT be controlled just by saying, "goodbye" |

FB- why would you assume, my owning several ouija's, would have anything to do with my invisible critter? I did not use the board immediately preceeding the activity. Nor did I indicate that the board(s) had activity around them. Therefore, you drew your own conclusions, without any indication on my part, the two things were related. Also, since we do not generally speak, nor would I confide in you, I do not know why you would think you know what goes on in my household. My little critter, harmless, and benign, has since gone. I really, really wish that you would stop implying 1) that you know me 2) that I would confide a confidence in you and 3) stop trying to discredit me. All you are doing, is presenting yourself in a less than flattering light. Yes, I believe Ouija's CAN work. Sometimes, with the proper preparation. My decission not to buy my son a board, is a personal choice on my part, the same as allowing him to attend church, as well as discussing my Pagan beliefs with him. He will ultimately make his own choices, with my full-blessing. I trust how smart he is. I, personally, simply do not want to contribute to teaching him divination, till he is old enough. FB, please, you are welcome to comment & share your own stories, but please, for your own sake, stop trying to draw me into battles that will not happen.  |

and, yes, INFERNO was attacked in a cemetary. No ouija, an investigation. Again, both you & INFERNO fought badly (I believe you had something to do with his being banned from USM). The Ouija experiences, had more to do with INFERNO, than the board. Please, do not twist stories & facts. Thank you. |

I've personally observed two very negative experiences with Quijas and that is why I am totally against them. Anything can be bad, it's all based on what it's used for. |

fitofdestiny, LOL, yes I do beleive that stuff. Are you saying there are not spirits? Are you saying their are not forces in this world?
LSG::::::: Why would you assume that it has nothing to do with it? 1. I knew lots about you for about a year, so yes, I do know you somewhat 2. Dont expect nor want you to confide in me 3. Not trying to discret, show me anywhere in my comment that would discredit, its a matter of a difference of opinion. What you cant handle a difference of opinion or even THINK that anyone knows anything about spirits except for YOU? Ouijas can and do work, never said they didnt. And I'm not trying to draw you into a battle, just giving my own opinion of your post and what your saying. OR does this mean that ONLY those that agree with you are welcome to post a comment?
Inferno got inferno banned, if you dont believe me ask george and ginger. None the less the point is rather it was an investigation or the board, he was over the age of 18, the age thing has NOTHING to do with discernment of spirits. So was I wrong, he did discern the spirit? |

Well I bought my God sisters ones and they never ever had a problem. And they were 7 and 12. They are always into what I am doing. They asked for one and I bought it. They played and played and it sat and sat. I just sold it on E-bay to a nice man in Ga who says it has the best energy and he is glad he bought it from me and not someone else. I have had one problem with one and I actually believe the house was way to haunted to add that spice to it. But yes I would allow it as a gift and I would buy and sell one.  |

Debbie, you are confusing two completely different episodes. INFERNO was attacked in a cemetary. There was no ouija board involved. We did have a bad experince with a ouija (INFERNO, Suzy, FireAceX, and I). But that had more to do with INFERNO, and the fact the baord came from a "haunted house". The burning board, smelled like human flesh. But the boards I currently have, have caused me no grief. I do not believe that a "demon" came through the board. I believe a person who was there, at the time, and was having spiritual problems, had more to do with the activity. |

Perhaps your mis understanding me. The point I'm trying to make is that even a child over the age of 18 can still be hurt by a spirit. I know that it was at the cementary, however, I dont beleive that age plays a roll on being hurt. I think what we have had here is a failure to communicate, but I think its fixed now. |

Education is the key to everything. If these are used correctly they are harmless and fun. If they are not educated for the proper use of them then you have a problem. I would let my children play if they were educated with one. But not if they werent.  |
