| One of my Native American friends says, "If you play with the Medicine, someone will die."
That's pretty ominous, but one of the things I like about the Native way is the radical honesty. Things of the Spirit are real, and powerful. Do them with honor and in genuine need, or do not do them at all.
I've put in my two cents on ouija boards plenty of times before on AMHD, so this time I'll just post general instructions for doing psychic work to contact spirits, no matter what tool you might use to do it:
First, create sacred space. Use your own imagination/intuition and do what feels right for you, but here are some basic techniques used all over the world to create a safe and powerful container for this kind of work:
Light a candle (one that has meaning to you).
Fill a bowl with pure water (ditto).
Call to the guardians of each of the four directions (different traditions start facing different ways, some go clockwise and some counterclockwise) while ringing a bell or beating a drum or some such. Call additional directions as feels right, above, below, within.
Then do the work. First, set a very clear intention, for example: I wish to contact a spirit in its highest form, that is very wise and good and will be a teacher and guide for me, as God/Spirit (however you identify the Divine) wills it, in the highest good of all.
Hold that intention in your mind throughout!!! Doesn't hurt to write it down.
When done, close sacred space by thanking all spirits who came to your call, thanking the guardians of the directions. After saying thank you, I say, "Go if you must, stay if you will."
If you really feel compelled to reach out using ouija or any other tool, do it like that. |
