"The Psychic Circle" takes a more responsible and informative approach to spirit boards. It provides a pamphlet on using the board, as well as rituals of protection. The board itself is so much more than a yes and no area, with letters and numbers. "The Psychic Circle" is more articulate and much less laborious to use. I think it's easier to arrive at accurate messages than the Ouija as well. It contains N,S,E & W, with information on how to call the watchtowers. (This is protective.) It has areas for color evaluations, as well as the names of the planets, symbols for the planets, astrological signs, actual often needed WORDS, and imagery for creative processes. I would recommend it over a Ouija anyday, especially for beginners.

Whenever we get together we smudge the house with a white sage smudge stick, visualizing white protective light, spreading the smoke and including all closets and bathrooms, repeating all the while :"Anything that isn't for the greater good MUST LEAVE!". After we have covered all of the areas of the house, one of us goes to the front door, and one to the back door, and we open them at once while repeating our smudge statement. (Say it like you MEAN it!) Then we arrange at least 5 crystals and 5 candles around the table with the board on it. Make sure this area includes all of the participants. This creates a sacred space. Then we start by holding hands and asking that no harm be done to anyone, that we are present seeking those on the other side who have messages for us, or anyone that needs our help. We state that our intentions are of love. Then we ask our questions, recording all questions and answers in a particular book, including date, time, participants and location. When we are done, we "close" the circle by thanking those who came, releasing them in love, and closing any portals that may have been opened as a result of our session. It helps if you understand that other side doesn't necessarily know the future any more than you do. The information we have gotten has all been positive. We've received messages from ancestors, the recently departed as well as spirit guides. Remember that intention is 100% of the equation, and you will receive what you put into it. We are all karmically oriented, and don't spend time festering anger, hatred or fear. We release these feelings and those people who intentionally hurt us. I hope I have been helpful, and I welcome your feedback. Go in peace, and ADVENTURE ON! KFerg
