Classic Ouija Board With Planchette – Mystic Spirit Board

For the curious – but perhaps nothing for the faint-hearted.

The Ouija board is one of the most well-known and myth-shrouded symbols of spiritualism. In recent years, interest in ouija and paranormal investigation has been revitalized in Sweden, not least through LaxTon Ghost Sweden and Jocke & Jonna, whose ghost hunts have made the supernatural a phenomenon even for a new generation.

The history of Ouija, however, stretches back much further. The modern talking board emerged during the spiritist movement of the 19th century, and in 1891 Ouija began to be sold commercially in the United States. The board traditionally consists of the alphabet, numbers, and words such as Yes, No, and Goodbye.

Participants lightly place their fingertips on a planchette, which according to tradition moves across the board and points out letters and answers. Historically, it has been used as an attempt to communicate with spirits – while the movement is scientifically usually explained by the so-called ideomotor effect, where small unconscious muscle movements cause the planchette to move.

This version has a classic, darkly decorative design that makes it as interesting as a mysterious decorative object as for those who actually want to try a traditional ouija session.

An object with over a hundred years of history, surrounded by stories, fascination, and controversy – and a natural place in Bellamonti Home's darker and more mysterious world.
