If you're looking to buy a Ouija board, there's no need to search any further than your nearest Walmart, Target or Walgreen's. Just type the name of the store into Google and check for "Ouija Boards" in the listings. You should also be able to find them under "Toy and Games" or "Hobbies." If you can't find one at your local store, you might want to check out some of these online stores: http://www.amazon.com/, http://www.ebay.com/, http://walmart.com/. Only purchase an Ouija board from a reputable source. A reputable source should always include a statement about the item being sold being for "Ouija Board Entertainment Purposes Only." Check to make sure that the board contains the following: The board should have numbers 1-9, and letters A-Z. There should be planchettes (the little piece with the pointy things) and ?/yes and ?/no spaces.
If you're thinking of buying one for yourself or a friend,
be sure to give him or her a gift receipt, because if you don't return it,
Walmart and Target will charge you the full retail price. So, by purchasing
this gift at Walmart, you avoid paying the full price upfront to get it home
and then have the hassle of returning it.
As far as your local stores go, the Ouija board section is
usually in the same area as the traditional Halloween items like black cats, skeletons,
and pirate costumes. If you can't find them there, ask a store associate or
look at other aisles. At Target, they're in the Halloween aisle, but if you
can't find one there either, try asking an employee.
Now that you've found one, let's consider some of your
options.
The first thing to consider is which version of the game to purchase: deluxe or original. The only difference between the original and deluxe versions is that a free planchette comes with every board sold (should you choose to use one). The planchette is the heart-shaped indicator used to point out letters and spell out words. In some Ouija board games, the planchette attaches magnetically to the board, but with others it's a separate piece that you must place on the board. It's up to you which style you prefer; however, make sure that you have a planchette or other indicator before your first session with a Ouija board.
Unless you're buying for someone else, remember that when using a Ouija board, it's best not to tell them whether or not it worked while you were testing it in your home. You should also keep your Ouija board on you when you take it home, preferably in a drawer or some other hidden place. This is because many people consider these boards to be fundamentally bad luck and believe that they should be destroyed once they're used. When you first get your board, saying the following prayer before using it can help you get into the right mindset: "God bless this device and our communication with those who no longer live, so that both may be honest and accurate.
