Question: Would You Buy a Secondhand Spirit Board?

Would you buy a secondhand spirit board?  

I'm sure a few people reading this think I'm utterly irresponsible for doing so. I've noticed more fear about spirit boards, or Ouija boards, than any other divination tool. 

There's always a risk that a secondhand object will bring some unwanted energy along with it. Spirit boards are, of course, intended to contact spirits, so there's the added concern that any entity the previous owners contacted wasn't fully dismissed and is still sadly lingering.

Nevertheless, I had no hesitation to buy the board pictured above when I saw it for £2 in a charity shop. After I got it home, I gave it a thorough wash using salty water, which is very good for cleansing things. I wouldn't have done that if it was flimsy cardboard - I'd have done a smoke cleansing instead - but this board is pretty solid.

What do you think? Would you buy a secondhand spirit board?  Please leave a comment
