Me being me and the go getter of our group...I decided we would have a mini seance (no clue what I was doing) first, then the board...well needless to say I summoned something...the board was VERY responsive...One of the girls father's had died when she had been just a toddler and he showed up to answer ?'s Scared me out of my PJ's but the spirit was not letting me out of the connection until he was through talking and Mary had lots of questions. Needless to say we were all shaking and babbling when said and done. I called home at 3:00AM for Daddy to come & get me...was that ever a revealing TALK about ancestors and heritiage and what traits I MIGHT have inherited...and oops so sorry to not have said anything before now but the other two girls haven't shown any signs of magic or divination...so no I don't think gifting a spirit board to children or anyone is a great idea. It needs to be bought with great consideration because even the simplest item came become harmful when you are dealing with the spirit realms. Never touched another one of them suckers again!

I’ve used a spirit board on more than one occassion with both good and weird experiences but wouldn’t gift one but then again, I grew up Christian. Even though my views/beliefs have shifted radically I still wonder… moongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791634298210431876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152532055090335650.post-77613135488420850022014-12-10T09:50:33.755+00:002014-12-10T09:50:33.755+00:00The truth is, I don't know what happened to my...The truth is, I don't know what happened to my friend after we both left school. I went to university and we lost touch. Maybe she did die young, but maybe she didn't.

Nah.<br />It's my instinct that as soon as I read "it's the latest thing to give" then it's the manufacturers who are encouraging it. If it's a fashionable gift then it's not "fun", "original" or thoughtful. I'd rather give a gift which would be appreciated by the receiver, rather than something I'd been told was the fashion.Alan C-Bnoreply@blogger.com
