Good question, Trey! We were recently discussing this topic here: Seances/ouija board question?
This was my answer back then:
Some use it but it is not very popular among the witchcraft community. Ouija boards aren’t a preferred divination method, like cards or a pendulum .
People avoid it for fear of attracting the wrong kind of energy, you know, “evil spirits”.
I think it depends on the person. It can be a great tool if you approach it respectfuly, with knowledge and critical thinking. Do only what you feel comfortable doing.
After all, it’s a tool just like Tarot cards or a pendulum. In fact, the original Ouija board was a children’s toy and it’s still sold as one by Hasbro.
I personally never bought one, but I “played” with a homemade one when I was younger. I quickly lost interest. Right now I don’t have any relatives on the other side that I especially need to talk to, so I don’t engage with Ouija boards.
I know @john4 had some experiences using a spiritbox !
