Generally....
Ouija boards work better when you use them regularly, say once a week
With the same group of people as the regular group encourages a channelling links between each other which makes the board work better.
We think the best size group is about two to four people
Doing a ritual before or creating an atmosphere to use the board in will encourage it but it's not necessary
You can use a know occult ritual, the ritual we've provided or make one up yourself

Clear all distractions...phones...T.V.'s...etc
Set up the board in a comfortable position
Before you start give yourselves some time to "Tune into each other"
Kind of like a meditation thing or just sit quietly and relax

Put one of two fingers lightly on the board
And gently push it round in a circle while asking for for an entity to talk to you
Don't worry about pushing it to start the planchette moving
you will be able to tell the difference when an entity starts to channel
through the board themselves
Just wait till you get some sort of "pull" or direction on the planchette and with most people using a board for the first time it can take a while to get the planchette going and it can be frustrating intially

Usually when entity comes on the board the planchette starts
moving towards and ends up indicating "Yes"
And when you pushing it in a circle you'll notice it starting to hover
towards "yes". If it does just relax until it sort of pulls you there.

The more you use a board the more it works for you
(We have used boards regularly for years and now we can't stop it moving but at first the planchette was slow to move in a channelled manner)
So if the planchette doesn't do this straight away don't give up, it may take a few sessions to get going.

So if you get it to go to the "Yes" position just start asking questions
Most people I've spoken to about using a board say they don't know
what to ask when to the planchette starts moving.
It something even we have problems with. We often get an entity
on the board and we both go completely blank
An entity is usually just like a person without a body so
just treat it like that.
And usually most entities we deal with prefer to give messages
as opposed to be asked questions
So a good Idea is just to ask them what they would like to say.

If you strike an entity that you don't like just stop and take the planchette off the board. Have a break before you do another session.
Always make up your own mind about what the entities are telling you
I was given advice from a regular entity I spoke for years. He told me
"A spirit that intructs you to do things is not a spirit you want to talk to"
So just make sure you make up your own mind about any transcript you gain from a board
When you've finished a sitting put the board and planchette away.
If your worried about entities remaining after you done a sitting
Do a clearing ritual to get them to leave
This sometimes happens and you can still feel them around the house
It's mostly caused because they want to keep talking to you
but most clearing spells will solve that problem.
