Ouija boards: ever use one?

I havn't used a mirror, sounds really good,l will try it tonight!! lol - I would appreciate any ideas or suggestions from anyone on the use of "tools" its always nice to have comparisons... and I notice that things change depending on where you live - cheers, xx

Never been interested in using one, never have and from distressing stories of others - don't think I ever will.

Quite by chance I found a link to a site about William Fudd who commercialised the Ouija Board http://www.williamfuld.com/ouija.html It is quite fascinating.

I still think, Leslie, that this problem stems primarily from the bad attitude with which many who have no understanding of spirit approach it. "Let's see if we can reach the spirit of Jack the Ripper! Wouldn't that be cool?"

Who or what you reach may be more than you bargained for, or can handle!

Just like when John King first turned up at the two Spirit Houses Koons and Tippie. Indeed at the time there were meant to be a whole group of King's supposedly involved.



The William Fudd web site is worth a visit though.

I reckon old John King [Henry Morgan's professional alias] has had a bit of a bad press over the years.
Factoring out the plank walking, keel hauling and general buckling of swash [ collectively termed 'proactive HR management techniques' these days], then; back in the day what we now think of as pirates were highly regarded as what we'd probably now call 'Independent contractors to HM Royal Navy'. OK maybe not by the owners of those vessels the pirates captured but the point's still valid. It's all a matter of perspective. One person' 'illainous pirate' is another's 'go ahead free enterprise executive'. The Crown took a percentage of prize monies from every capture and as Cap'n Morgan old John King did end up as Governor of Jamaica they even named that famous Rum after him. Maybe I'm a bit biased though. He was the original Katie King's dad after all.

We could do with him back, to sort out the SNU.

I wonder why he uses an alias in spirit?

Given the choice and for impact how would he choose to some across?
Pirate or Bureaucrat?
I know which I'd plump for.
They do say that never have the following last words ever been spoken......
'I wish I'd spent more time at the office'
But pirating!
Now that had to be interestig work.

I'll bet more people would come to see the spirit of a pirate than one of a bureaucrat.

But maybe not. They might come to see whether a bureaucrat HAS a soul!

Katie King came through Florrie Cook as an alabaster skinned English rose of a gal but by all accounts all Henry Morgan's kids (dozens of 'em) were mixed heritage.
M akes you think.

If he has dozens that we know about, I'm sure there were others that we didn't.

Good point Jim.

No cat on Kindle here at home. Just the word Cat on screen. Not quite the same.
