Speaker 1: Anna Schmidt (Host)  

Hello and here we are at Perfectly Paranormal episode 121

My name is Anna Schmidt, and I'm here every week, yes every week to share with you true paranormal encounters and information about devils, demons and dark energy beings that no one else talks about. Today, today, you will hear my internal debate about the perils and safety of tapping into the unknown through table tipping V ouija boards. I have used both and do they open treacherous doorways into other realms and realities? You can make up your own mind… Are they just a bit of fun or downright dangerous?

ALL forms of divination open energetic doorways of different levels depending on your intention and attention and what the activity is at the time and also the location can play a key part as well. I use a pendulum with my energy work every day and have no issues connecting with my spiritual helpers but have occasionally had it swing in a strange way with a different pull on it so I knew something else was attempting the disrupt my energy work, usually unhappy demonic entities in people’s home who don’t want to be evicted, not a portal into a detrimental dimension.

Today we are focusing on table tipping and ouija boards - the similarities, the differences and how entities can use them to get into our environment. Both methods can connect with energy beings of varying types and levels of positive or negative intentions. Ouija boards have a negative reputation and I have shared on more than one occasion, my negative at home experiences with a homemade ouija board which I used without really putting a lot of thought into it and suffered the consequences. And those issues could have been connected to my paranormal addiction, or my energy work which can sometimes cause entities to be defensive, at that time I would have classed myself as a newbie and demonic entities love ‘fresh meat’, which is my funny term for inexperienced people entering the energy work.

I haven’t had any detrimental interactions or anything follow me home from doing table tipping sessions and people I have done the sessions with reported the same. The nature of Ouija boards may carry a different vibration, possibly a lower vibration that attracts the darker entities or does our expectation that something negative will happen influence the outcome? People do use ouija boards to intentionally connect to the spirits of passed loved ones and does the people’s grief attract the dark entities? The possibilities are endless! The more I think about it, the more it opens up a can of worms and an overflow of more and more questions and possibilities.

THE INTENTION OF THE SESSION

This is how I look at INTENTION, with any spiritual divination or communication method or process, it all comes down to your intention, what you want or expect from the session, also your attention and awareness of the safety and what happens during the session. If you know the people you are with and their level of mental and emotional vulnerability this can greatly determine the direction of the session. Are they genuinely wanting to communicate with spirits, or want to taunt them sitting in ego and being arrogant and disrespectful? Entities can read our energy and intentions like a book, so don’t think you can trick or disguise your objectives.
 
Careless people can bring negative results as some people want to connect to something dark and demonic( and I won’t get on my soapbox about that) and their thoughts create that vibration and invite the entities to them and yes, there is always more than one, and this is no matter what method of connection they use. One thing I have observed, is never say ‘Is anybody out there?’ because duh…you can get anybody or anything, more likely entering the energetic doorway! Any type of entity that is lurking in the vicinity will come to your session. They are around us all the time just waiting for an invite.

Do ouija boards or tables used for table tipping carry a certain vibration?

A better choice of words would be “We would like to communicate with the spirits present in (location). If you are using table tipping for example, introduce yourselves, one at a time. Then you can say, “If you would like to communicate, please come and move the table, knock on the table or tip the table to let us know you are here.” I don’t verbalise, “ You can use my energy”, because that is a permission to connect to your energy and if you are not energetically protected and mentally vulnerable at the time, you might end up with a spirit or dark energy attachment. I have watched paranormal investigators on YouTube say “ You can come and connect to me or use my energy to do ‘whatever’. And over the course of 10-15 munites the person starts to look pale and unwell and says they don’t feel right. And I am sitting watching and shaking my head. 

 PROTECTION
Creating energetic protection before you start the session is highly recommended and making sure that everyone is feeling relaxed, hydrated etc. If anyone in the group is feeling unwell - physically, mentally or emotionally then divination techniques are not for them at that time. Being unwell leaves you more vulnerable to energetic attachment and believe me it does happen. Protection can be as simple as, with intention, asking Archangel Michael to be present to protect the space and the people…. I did an indepth episode on protection back in episode 93 so I am not going to spend too much time talking about it here.

THE LOCATION

The space also sets the intention. If you do any type of divination in homes or old abandoned buildings known for demonic presence… then you might get them gatecrashing your session because they are used to people rocking up to their location for scary paranormal happenings and they are ready to give you the frights you expect.

A location example: A friend and I did some table tipping on her property in an old hut put aside for seasonal pickers on a farm back in the old days. Every time I go to her home, spirits come because I am pumping out the vibe of energy worker, so we went to the shed away from their house and guess who came??? Some of the passed workers now in spirit form from the farm. We had no expectation it would be them, we thought it was random roaming spirits in the vicinity that followed me. My friend, Laura did some more spirit connection there with a spirit box on another later occasion and had some fascinatingly accurate information come through. I bet the farm spirits were still there probably on the job supervising the seasonal fruit pickers and overseeing the whole process.

Can table tipping or ouija boards be used to connect with spirits on the other side? That I don’t know because I mainly focus on earth bound spirits roaming about the place or going about their jobs. A medium specialising in contacting crossed-over loved ones may know the answer to that question. If you are such a person and would like to contribute, you can email me at: spiritualbeing44@gmail.com.

TABLE TIPPING REVEALED

I have to say that Table tipping, next to my spirit box is my favourite physical or tangible communication method for connection with spirits in the environment. Table tilting or table turning as it was known in the Victorian era was a favoured parlour trick by many who needed a tangible form of connection beyond the word of spirit mediums.

I was introduced to table tipping when I worked as a paranormal tour guide back in 2019 and fell in love with it. The spirits at the site loved this method of communicating too, both kids and adults, male and female had a lot of fun moving the table around a room and watching us get excited.

‘How does it work’, I hear you say or ‘What a load of rubbish’ I hear the sceptics thinking. Let’s look at how the process works - most people acknowledge that spirits are energy, soul energy of people who have left their physical bodies. Well, their energy can use our energy like human batteries to manipulate the environment. Spirits often connect to the batteries in cameras and other paranormal investigation equipment and the long life batteries don’t last more than an hour or two sometimes. 

When set up for table tipping, I have sometimes felt a gentle wafting hand laying on one of my hands as they gently lay flat on the table ready for the session to begin. Observers often think we are moving the table BUT with multiple people with their hands all lying flat on the table, it would be impossible for them as a group to smoothly move the table in unison without communicating the fact and that would be obvious and anyway, what is the point of faking it… to me, that is a waste of time. Each spirit too can move the table differently with different intensities and sometimes the table quite comically tips sideways or vibrates or knocking on the stem or kicking the feet of the table stem can be felt.

CLOSING THE SPACE

Closing the space after you finish and thanking the spirits for communicating with you is of utmost importance. It closes all portals or other energetic connections, lets the spirits know the session is finished and shows respect to the spirits who came to participate and they are more likely to come out again if you go back to the same location.

OUIJA BOARDS

Ouija boards are veiled in superstition and I feel this adds to the expectation of negative happenings. Elijah Bond, a United States inventor back in 1891, capitalized on this growing trend by patenting the Ouija board as a product.

That being said, I have energetic cleared many a home where ouija boards have been used for a bit of fun or a party trick and the home’s occupants have suffered sudden strange negative experiences in their homes. Once the negative energy from the board and the entities that came through it have been removed, the hoe’s energy and occupant’s lives return to normal. 

The movie ‘Veronica’ says it all. From my experience and observations, it is a classic demonstration of demonic manipulation and attachment to a grief-stricken person’s emotions and vulnerable mental state. The movie was based on a true encounter of a teenage girl looking to talk to her father who died suddenly and she missed him immensely. She got into a whole heap of trouble that eventually took her life. If you are thinking of using ouija boards, I strongly suggest you watch Veronica first and be aware It is mildly graphic especially at the end so beware if you watch it.

So, is one divination method safer than the other, I can’t definitively say 100%. We as humans can never know everything about how the energy world works, so be careful, be aware, be sensible and set the intention you want with words said out loud. Also, do some research about locations before putting your intention to connect with unseen forces in places riddled with trauma, sadness and death because we all know what hangs out there.

So, in episode 122, You get to hear some unusual information about unveiled elemental beings I have come across unexpectedly during energetic house clearings. There was a troll who smelt like burnt toast and a lost, lonely and slightly confused gatekeeper who looked a bit like a pan being. So, whether you believe me or not, I know they are real and I will share what they were getting up to in our Earth reality. So stay tuned for next week’s strange, odd and at first unnerving experiences I will share and I look forward to spending time with you then.
