As Catholics, it is of grave importance that we recognize the danger involved when we take part in occult practices, such as playing with a Ouija Board. In more recent years, the Ouija Board has become more popular, especially among young people, now that it is even readily available virtually in the App Store as the “Spirit Board” or “Ghost Board Game.” The target audience seems to be teens and young adults and this becomes very apparent in the various kinds being sold on Amazon, such as a cat themed or “Stranger Things” themed spirit board, or even a pink colored or glow in the dark one. Also, the fact that the prices are kept affordable, many costing under twenty dollars.
When I was in my late teens, my girlfriend used to experiment with a ouija board. She had several friends who were witches. She was 10 years older than me. One evening, when I arrived at their apartment, they were using the board and it went totally silent when I entered the room. Her friends were very frustrated. The next time, it said, "Make him leave." THank God for Baptism!
Thanks for writing on this topic. I had a friend bring a Ouija board into my Dad's business one night and I tried it with him. Actually it was about five of us and I was young and not aware of the dangers at that time. I will say that thing scared me to know end and I did not mess with it anymore. Praise the Lord and I am glad you wrote this article to keep people informed. Praise Jesus!
Thank you for a great article. The warning is most definitely needed in this day and age when people seek answers everywhere. My only criticism is that whilst you focus on Catholicism, this is as relevant to all Christians, so why not address a bigger audience. Come to think of it, even more so - unbelievers also need to hear your message.

I was in a B&N in a fairly "conservative" part of the country recently and, right near the entrance, plenty of books of "spells" and the rest.
