Do you want more than just doing vision boards and manifesting? You can do things to increase your gifts of communicating with the dead. It might take you time to figure out what you want to do, but if you are interested in Ouija boards, scrying, or seances, there are some tips that you can use to find your path.
Seances
A séance is a communication with the dead and sometimes a gathering. Some people use a medium to help them receive messages from the spiritual world. This can be done at an event or in a shop, and it can be informal or formal.
Some people will use the medium as a group and take turns talking to those who have died. There are some psychics that are known, such as Maggie and Kate, who were 14 and 11, and they were able to talk to the dead. Some believed that their house was haunted because furniture would move and there would be strange sounds. Even neighbors would listen and hear things happening at night.
These two were later paid in 1857 to show their gifts. They would call on the spirits, and the spirits would tap on the floor. In 1888, Maggie said that it was fake. She later tried to take it back, but people never believed her again.
Mediumship is something that many don’t believe in, but others do. Some believe that they can talk to their dead loved ones and tell them things and speak to them. Some will use tarot cards, and others will use a séance to speak to the dead. The séance would allow the psychic to talk to those who had died and communicate with the dead.
Doing a Séance
You can do things to get messages from the dead, and one of them is a séance. You can do it on your own, or you can talk to a psychic medium to help you. Here are some things to know:
- Have Respect
Respect the dead, and don’t try to make a spirit do what you want it to. Communicate with love and show respect when you talk to them.
- Say What You Want
Always say what you want, and don’t try to speak in code. You can even talk to them and ask them what their name is.
- Don’t Play Games
Don’t play games in the spiritual world, but make sure that you are doing this to help those who have died or who need closure. You should never do this as a game or to scare someone.
- Talking to Dead People
There are other ways to talk to dead people, which can be done without doing seances. You can talk to a medium to help you speak to the dead loved ones that you want to talk to. You can also make your own altar at home and build the spirits’ trust.
- Making an Altar
Make an altar as brilliant or as simple as you want. You can use this to communicate with your dead loved ones. You can add pictures and things that your loved ones have or items that remind you of them. Put the objects on the altar to help you connect with your relative.
If you want, you can add candles to the alter and food or incense. This can draw your spirit in and help them feel wanted. You can also put symbols of what you believe in on the altar, such as flowers or skulls, to represent dying and death. You can also leave gifts for the spirits.
The altar should be a sacred place where you feel safe talking to those who have died. There are no real rules in this, and you should add your own personal touch. Make sure you put things on the altar that make you feel close to the loved one you are trying to reach, and you can even give them gifts.
- Using an Ouija Board
This is a board that can help to communicate with the dead. It is often seen in horror movies and books. The spirits can move the board, and this can be something that is scary. Ouija boards were produced in the 80s as a game, and these are called talking boards. They were used by the occult, and some witches would use the boards to communicate with spirits or angels.
You put your hand on the dial, which is called a planchette, and the spirit will influence its movement. There are words that say yes, or no and other things and the spirits can use the letters or yes or no to answer questions.
Sometimes a medium will go into a trance as they use the boards, and they will move their hands because the spirits move them. Some believe these people write their own messages and don’t believe in the boards. These boards are still in production and are Hasbro Games.
Are Ouija Boards Dangerous?
Ouija boards can be dangerous, and you should be careful in the spirits you are evoking. Here are some things about these boards:
- Portals
Some believe that there are portals to hell and that these boards can open them and allow demons to come into your home. They believe that this can cause possession and can cause there to be hauntings and creatures that you don’t want to come into your life. This might not be real, but the fear of using the game for evil purposes is a big deal.
- Random Spirits
The board can call on random spirits to come and might not connect with the spirits that are age or the ones that are there to make your life better. Sometimes evil spirits might come when you use the boards.
- Ghosts
Using this board can anger the spirits. If you are disrespectful and rude, you might bring on problems.
Is This a Séance Board?
Ouija boards are séance tools, and if you want to use them to get messages from the dead, you can. Some mediums use automatic writing, similar to what an Ouija board might do, but they often won’t even use the Ouija board because of the dangers.
Scrying
Scrying is a mystical way that you can call it in the spiritual world. You can get answers by looking at a reflective surface. This can give you visions, and sometimes, the medium will use crystal balls, water, mirrors, or other things. This is famous in movies like Snow White.
Using Black Mirrors for Scrying
Some people use a black mirror because when it is painted black, it has a big reflection that you can look in and see things. Different traditions are used for this practice.
Some will look in the mirror from a dark room and will be able to see visions of the past, present, or future, and some will use the moon for divination. They will fill a water bowl and put it in the moonlight to see if they can see visions or get messages. Sometimes, they even leave the water bowl on the moon for a day or two to get messages.
Other people will cover mirrors they have used for scrying when they aren’t using them so that they don’t get visions in the mirror when they don’t want to. Mediums will often go into a trance when they are going to do scrying.
Connecting with Yourself While Scrying
You can connect with yourself when you do scry; this is a form of divination, just like tarot card reading or pendulum reading. They will ask questions and get answers, and the questions can cover any aspect of your life.
Final Thoughts
Just like any kind of magic, you must make sure that you are using these tools right. Using an Ouija board, screaming, or having seances can be fun and exciting, but you must know what you’re doing and ensure you are using your gift for good.
As you develop your gift, you can discover what it is and how it can help you live your best life and reach your best self.
