I agree with you about the Ouija Board. I had a fairly mild first experience with one at a childhood birthday party. My mother sternly convinced me it was a portal and I should never go near the occult. I passed that on to my daughter, who was getting interested in witch books encouraged in middle school. Stopped her budding interest cold.

Desire is the only portal you need. Temptation must constantly be resisted.

If you hear of anyone taking an interest, direct them to the reviews section of the Ouija board listing on Amazon. Besides the scoffers and the well-meaning folks on our side who, unfortunately, often come off as hysterics, you will find plenty of reviews by children that are chilling.
These entries can be dismissed, but the writing style of children is difficult to imitate. Additionally, these children are praising the game. So it is unlikely that these testimonies were created by Christians, trying to warn others of the board’s dangers. Their testimonies are worth reading.
I also posted a thread here many years ago, titled something like, “Post your experiences with the occult here.” Many Freepers have have experienced preternatural phenomena associated with ouija boards.
