The Occult | Period 1 | Tuesday
"Today, we're going to look at one of the something a few of you may be familiar with and a few of you may not be," Paige said, smiling at the assembled class. "It's the staple of sleepovers and a horror movie staple. Yes, it's the Ouija board."
Paige held up one of said Ouija boards, showing it to the students.
"The Ouija board also known as a spirit board or talking board, is a flat board marked with the letters of the alphabet, the numbers 0–9, the words "yes", "no", "hello", and "goodbye", along with various symbols and graphics. It uses a planchette, which is a small, heart-shaped piece of wood or movable indicator to indicate the spirit's message by spelling it out on the board during a seance. Participants place their fingers on the planchette, and it is moved about the board to spell out words."
She settled the board on her desk before continuing on the lecture. "Mainstream religions and some occultists have associated use of a Ouija board with the concept of demonic possession, and view the use of the board as a spiritual threat and have cautioned their followers not to use a Ouija board. Despite being criticized by the scientific community and deemed demonic by Christians, Ouija remains popular among many people. So, this is what we're going to be doing today. Pair up, get in groups, however you'd like to do it and grab one of the Ouija boards I have up here. Ask the Ouija a question and see if it responds."
She herself remembered playing the game at a sleepover with friends when she was very young but remembered it not working at all. Still, maybe the class would have better results.
