Your thoughts were very clear. IMO you did a great job expressing them. I found your knowledge of dousing and rings/needles on strings to be very interesting and enjoyable to read.

It seems most people get "negative" information from ouija boards (from the accounts I've heard/read).

I don't use these divination tools not only because I choose to speak directly to my source, but also because I don't really want to know what is going to happen in the future. It makes me more prone to worry. Just let it be a surprise!
