Two or three people are recommended for using the board, more can be a bit too crowded. The general feeling is that three is the right amount for a séance.
*Form a circle, around the board, with all participating members
*Link hands, with left hands on top of right hands.
*Recite any prayers that you wish (recommended: The "Point of Light" and Psalm 23)
*Have each person place two fingers upon the planchette.
*Have someone standing by with a pen and paper to write everything down.
*Ask questions such as "Would anyone like to come forth and talk?", "Spirit are you there?", "Spirit are you with us?"
*Make sure only one person asks one question at a time so as to avoid confusion.
*Never EVER ask for anything you do not wish to deal with. Do not do the typical stupid thing of asking for a "sign" that the spirit is really there. This WILL result in major "BAD RESULTS!"
*If the board does not work, try swapping participants around, taking some participants hands off the planchette.
*The planchette should start off by spinning circles, some say that this is the spirit trying to gain energy to communicate, some say it is the spirit finding it's way around the board.
*If you do not understand what the spirit is trying to communicate to you, ask it to either repeat it or ask questions that will clearly define what you would like to know. The spirit should gladly participate.
*If a spirit appears to be having trouble communicating, ask what you can do to improve the communication between you, your séance partners, and the spirit.
*If a spirit points to "Good Bye" let it go. You never know what an angry spirit will do!
*If you want to finish the séance, place the planchette on "Good Bye" and say that you are now leaving. Everyone should then remove their hands from the board and the table. The board will be closed.
Sometimes spirits will show up as liars and deceivers, just like they were in human form. There aren't many out there like this but they are out there. Don't believe everything you are told. Or if you're told something, try to prove it to yourself. Try to find evidence to prove it.
*When possible use letters like "U" for You, "R", for Are, "2" for To and so on. Quite often the spirits contacted simply use the initial of the person they are talking about (or talking to) instead of spelling out their name.
*(Beware: It requires a lot of energy on both sides to have a séance. You may become very tired and weary. This is natural.)
