A Quija Board
My Friend,
The Ouija Board Visitors to our website often ask for a list of books on spirits and spirit contact. Not knowing one's specific interests makes it difficult to know exactly which authors to recommend. This problem has ended. Joel Bjorling's book Consulting Spirits is possibly the most comprehensive bibliography on the subject to date. Joel lists almost every important book ever written on the subject—both pro and con—in an easy to read and informative format. There is more than enough information in this book to keep you busy in this lifetime, and possibly the next.
Consulting
Spirits It's one thing to write about history but it is quite another to make it yourself. This is why the works of Allan Kardec are so important when someone is looking to understand Spiritualism/Spiritism from an 1860's perspective. Allan Kardec, the father of French Spiritism, reveals everything you ever wanted to know about spirits, mediums, and the evolution of the planchette and early talking board in three of his most important contributions:The Spirits' Book, The Mediums' Book and The Gospel According to Spiritism. All are available online from the Brazilian Spiritist Federation. Every field has its superstars; the Ouija world is no different. Check out the works of the following authors:

Worth (Pearl Curran) It would be pointless to list very many individual articles written about the Ouija board. Most of the "reference" type articles in various encyclopedias (occult and otherwise) are extremely flawed, many repeating historical errors and misinformation from previous authors. There are a few exceptions. They are:
"Table
Turning, Ouija and Planchette"
"The
Wonderful Ouija Board"
"Ouija
Boards"
"The Ouija
Board"
"Chairmen
of the Ouija Board"
"Mechanisms for Mystical
Messages" The New Age movement has lent a unique perspective to the use of the Ouija board. The prevailing belief is that the proper protocol when channeling a spirit is the same whether working alone or with the aid of an instrument. Consequently, a session with the Ouija board should always begin with a group of correct behaviors intended to strengthen one psychically and to placate any unfriendly "entities" you may encounter. Here is a good online example of this school of thought:

Undoubtedly, the most
magical aspect of the Ouija board is its uncanny ability to
mirror the psychology of the operator. If true "possession"
does take place, then it surely must be in this strange
emotional transference between board and user. Nowhere is
this more evident than in the many articles and books written
about or "through" the Ouija. This is apparent whether an
author is channeling a message from an "entity" or when the
book has a more "historical" tone. The books listed below
come in all flavors ranging from historical to hysterical,
visionary to cautionary. They are the works of poets and
crackpots, geniuses, and a few not so
bright. We will leave it up
to you to sort out who is who. All of the following works are
still available, although you may have to do a little digging
to find some of them. Plan to meet some interesting people
along the way. This will be a journey that you will not soon
forget.
