Book Reviews of My Friend, the Ouija BoardBook Review: My Friend, The Ouija Board - by Virginia Kent Roberts Summary: 5 Stars
Having read "My friend the Ouija Board" by Virginia Kent Roberts,and after reading the negative reviews of this book, I realize some people are still misinformed in The Magickal (Occult) arts and practices including the Ouija board. I feel as a practicing witch, (Incidentally, a male witch is not a warlock, a witch is a witch, whether they are male or female). As a Witch, I have become closer to GOD through my own faith, and as a practitioner, the important thing to remember is that you do not have to change your religion or faith, although I see it in a different, and more profound light. Witchcraft is for the gregarious and intuitive who are sympathetic to the earth, and close to nature. By studying the Magickal Arts, has helped me to realize that all gods and goddesses have their source in the One Supreme, Divine, Transcendent and All-Powerful Being,"GOD". The very word 'Occult' brings shivers to many peoples spines and yet the true meaning of this word is from the Latin 'hidden from general view'. This is such a vague term which could mean a wide range of activities connected with the supernatural, from seances to black magic, from reading one's horoscope in the newspaper to child abuse. The term occult has also come to have a largely sinister connotation and association to Satanism, which is untrue. The truth on the Ouija Board, which is also known as a talking board, is a Spiritual Power Tool that has been used in various forms for thousands of years to contact Higher Realms of Consciousness. It is said that Pythagoras (circa 580-500 B.C.), the Great Mathematician, used a talking board of his own invention to receive some of his mathematical theorems, the most famous of which, the Pythagorean Theorem, is taught in every school around the world today. Because of centuries of ignorance, misuse and superstition, the talking Ouija Board has received bad press. There are rules and laws to guide us in our daily lives, we must apply these same rules when practicing the Magickal Arts. As in life, there is good and bad, We determine what choices we make. Ignorance, lack of information, lack of knowledge and ill preparation are reasons for the negative vibes received through The Ouija Board. Positive attracts positive, if you spend your time with negative people they will influence you in a negative way. If you spend time with positive people, your life will be easier and happier. Caution should be applied with The Ouija Board as like anything else in life. The Ouija Board should not be used when someone is ill, sad, angry, agitated, depressed, nervous,tired, or fearful, or especially if someone in the room is under the influence of mood-altering substances such as drugs or alcohol. It is a sacred ritual, and can only give you back what you put into it. If you approach it in a childish manner, you will only get childness in return. If you approach it with respect and sincerity, you will have a genuine experience and learn a lot about yourself. The Ouija Board should be approached with the attitude of an apprentice magician: be cautious, and question everything. Never allow yourself or anyone else to risk anything-especially health, safety, reputation, money, or property-on the basis of any information received from The Ouija Board, unless and untill it's researched thoroughly and benefitted from the advice and counsel of one or more professionals who are thoroughly experienced and licensed in this particular field. The "Clowns" who believe they can drink alcohol, or use drugs and expect anything positive and sacred to happen are the ones who suffer the most. Like all things religious and sacred, it should be treated with respect. One does not indulge in various spirits or illicit drugs in a Spiritual Place of Worship, so please don't expect to appeal to the Higher Realms of Consciousness in this manner. There are various cleansing rituals, protection prayers, and ethical codes of conduct which must be learned and practiced with the magickal arts, especially when attempting to contact, through The Ouija Board, The Highest Realms of the Universal Cosmic Consciousness.
V.K. Roberts explains the greatest difficulty that we need to overcome is to look beyond our prejudices and use the power and magick in our lives. Most importantly, helping us to understand and cope with our greatest enemy: Our own paralysing fear. Fear exist to protect us; without fear, we would get ourselves into embarrassing, time-wasting, and often dangerous situations. However, when we let our fears control us, we find ourselves in a perilous situation. It would take too long to list all of the things that we allow ourselves to fear to the point of limiting our own enjoyment in our lives.
V.K. Roberts has revealed and written a great book on a taboo subject. Thanks Virginia for your constant guidance and for being a friend.
Cheers!
Edwin Topodopoulos.
