Ouija Board

English: Ouija Board (pronounced as Wee Ja)
Chinese: 碟仙
Teo Chew: Di Kia Xing

An introduction about Ouija board. The board has alphabet letter from A to Z, number 0 to 9, a yes and a no and a farewell. It is actually a board that open door to the spirit world and it is used to enquire about a matter about yourselves or others.

When night time fall, the light is turn off and a few WHITE candles are lit up. People start by placing their 2 fingers on the planchette and ask the spirit simple question like what is his name. Then the spirit will move the planchette by answering yes or no. Then proceed to ask tougher questions.

This game is highly dangerous and don't ever play it because you are curious to know if ghost exist. If at anytime you get scared, or feel that the session is out of hand, simply close the board by moving the pointer to "goodbye" and say "We're leaving now, rest in peace". If you do not close the session by pointing to goodbye, the spirit door is not closed and you may be haunted at night. Do not play ouija board alone, please with at least 2 people (1 male, 1 female). Two female may attract an evil male spirit. Two male may attract an evil female spirit.

If you are using the Ouija board with people who don't believe in it, it doesn't work. The people will try and mess with it, joking around and stuff. Do not play if you are sick or have negative feeling, you would attract negative outcome. Being polite or else you may mess things up badly. If the spirit you are talking to says that someone or something is a portal, stop talking to it. Portals are things that help spirits get from their world to yours. NEVER ask the spirits to prove its existence, as doing so can get evil spirits into your home.

Prior to the ritual, make sure that everyone participating is inside the ring. Everyone who is not participating should not be on the property during the time of spirit evocation/invocation. Anyone not in the protective ring will be attacked. Do not play after 11pm.

These types of things are very dangerous, do not mess it up. There was a time (30 to 40 years ago) when my uncle played 笔仙 (not ouija, it is another type which used basket and a pen which is attached to it). Everything went fine till one day a god came into the basket telling us not to play with it and the god promise that he will stay with my uncle to protect him. He is malay known as Datuk and commonly pray by the chinese. All Taoist who went to Loyang Da Bo Gong should know Datuk, it is the house with yellow curtain.

Till now the god exist in my uncle and he will only appear every year during chinese new year day. In the past, he appears daily but now he is promoted so have a substitution god who appears frequently and therefore Datuk only visits us annually (CNY). Usually just a basket or a pen is required to invite the god to write. My mum told me a lot of supernature story about spirit and god. One day the god prove to us that it can produce a $10 note to one of my uncle. The story is damn long but we really believe in the god.

One of my primary school teacher has Yin Yang Yan. During primary school, he always bring us out. Sometime he told all of us to leave the place and we would know what he meant. This mean that he saw something spiritual. The meaning of Yin Yang Yan means that his eyes can see human and devil. Some people has this eyes, it is very scary to be able to see supernatural things.
