“If used wrong, they can also be extremely harmful to the user.”

I've cleaned up quite a few messes created by people using these boards. It's not the board per say, it's the intent and lack of discernment of the person using it.

The problem is, divination methods do work, but the user almost always lacks the ability to discern the motive of the spirit being summoned.

Imagine that I told you exactly what was going to happen to you tomorrow, in detail. In disbelief, tomorrow evening you came back to me and confirmed that I was correct. Again, I told you what would happen the next day in detail. You returned that evening, absolutely amazed at my accuracy. To which I told you that the following day, something very bad was going to happen to you unless you did exactly as I said.

That is how an impostor guides good intentioned individuals to do bad things. First get their trust and then lead them astray. There is only one way to make sure that what you are getting is Divine, and that is to learn discernment and go to the source yourself. Don't use an intermediary.

The same thing is true in meditation and prayer. There are many false intermediaries who interject without having pure motive.

Very well stated.It manipulates. Young children have absolute no business with one. For that fact no one does. So easy to be mislead and accept things into your lives that you are not equipped to handle . To those who laugh it off as a toy,that’s foolish. Unless you have ever been pulled into the New Age garbage,you haven’t a clue.
