For context: My brother reached out to me saying he was unpacking some boxes from his move, some of which didn’t belong to him. He moved from house to house, so in his old house he found some miscellaneous boxes left by one of the previous owners. He decided instead of leaving them there he’d just grab them and bring them to his new house.

While he was unpacking these miscellaneous boxes, he came across a ouija board. He said he did some research on how to dispose of it but there was a lot of mixed advice. Some places said to burn it and some other places said to absolutely not burn it. He is at a loss. He messaged me asking if I wanted it. I am a bit of a black sheep in the family, I collect bones and oddities and such, but I’m not very big into the supernatural. I said I would take it off his hands, but I am worried about bringing that energy into my home. I don’t know who it belonged to or where it came from or what intentions it was used for. So needless to say I’m slightly nervous about bringing it into my home because I don’t know what could be attached to it.

So now I’m at a loss. Should I cleanse it, should I dispose of it, should I not be worried about it at all?? I’m just looking for any advice from people who hopefully have more experience and knowledge dealing with these things than I do. Thank you in advance to anyone who decides to comment!!

  • The board has no power other than the ones you think it has. It does have power though, otherwise you wouldn't have thought about it enough to ask about it. That concern is the real thing that powers whatever you will experience. If you can change your uncertainty to certainty, you've solved every possibility of something unwanted.

  • Just break it and throw it out. In different garbage containers if you like. Don't burn it because that releases junk into the air. It'll be fine.

  • You don’t track any energy from anything into your home, unless you just bought a new battery. You’re already assigning attributes to this object and you don’t even have it yet. That’s the power of suggestion working its magic and that’s the only detectable kind we have seen so far.

    I have multiple boards and have never had an issue. Though I don’t have any used ones. If it’s a hand made board and you want rid of it, I’m more then happy to take it off of your hands if things go south with it. I don’t believe in the super natural either and am always on the look out for nice boards.

    Just curious, if you don't believe. why do you collect them? is it just the esthetic?
