Mainstreaming the Occult

When you start to see items like the Ouija Board sold alongside other board games like monopoly or Uno at Toys R Us we can know that we have a spiritually corrupt state in our society.

The description explains “Hasbro, Inc. is a worldwide leader in children's and family leisure time products and services with a rich portfolio of brands and entertainment properties that provides some of the highest quality and most recognizable play and recreational experiences in the world. Hasbro is a brand-driven, consumer-focused global company, Hasbro brings to market a range of toys, games and licensed products, from traditional to high-tech and digital.”

Not to get them mixed up but the pink box is for girls and the Blue for boy's (which glows in the dark), how's that for marketing.

In its advertising it states “Gather your friends around, draw a card, place your fingers on the planchette and ask your question. Concentrate very hard and watch as the answer is revealed in the message window. Make up your own questions, and let the OUIJA Board satisfy your curiosity in virtually endless ways.”

It’s just a game - or is it? Includes OUIJA Board, message indicator (planchette), card deck with 72 questions, carrying case with storage pockets and instructions.

No, the OUIJA Board is not just a game, I can attest from experience as a very young child being naive and inquisitive only to find out there is a power with intelligence that is unseen. This seemingly harmless game opens people up to spirit communication that put them in danger. to think you can have answers spelled out is just fun and entertaining shows how little people know about these Items. No wonder the new age movement and witchcraft are growing in America, we lack what we once had,  knowledge.

In response on the site, customers agreed on the following attributes:

Pros: listed were -Fun, Entertaining, Interactive, Nice layout, Thought provoking 

Cons were: Difficult instructions, Unoriginal, Visually unpleasing 

Best Uses were among: Adults, then Children and Family; Travel and Teenagers

When Describing themselves – first was Avid gamer, then Parent, then Educator.

That becomes as much a concern as dabbling around with the occult.

If you read some of the users comments you can see this is more than just a  board game.
