      @wtg Interesting article.

      Any person that charges in any way for what is a religious/Christian act is highly suspect of being a fraud imo.
      Ouija boards 😆

      Though a small/nominal contribution toward the running of a church circle/healing service may be excepted if you turn up.

      My mum worked at Consett Iron Works in the late 1940's. One lunch she walked in on other girls trying a ouija board. Put her finger on whatever is meant to move and it moved. Freaked them out. She'd be about 18/20 at the time.
      Dad and his siblings all had this gift.

      My Mum & Dad were brought up CofE and Methodist. But I realised later they also occasionally went Wednesdays to a local spiritualist church.

      When they sat with me at home they used A-Z cards from a game called Lexicon, spreading them in a circle on our dining table, and a 3" glass on which you could just fit about 4 finger tips, maybe 1.5" in diameter (it was used for various spirits😉).

      Directly, automatic writing, whatever, if you can do it, you can.
      Or to develop, find a sincere and mature group of people who will allow you to sit with them.

      Ventosa viri restabit
