"Dangerous usage of Ouiga boards by psychologists can ensnare people into the practice of occultism"

or something like that because my first reaction when I read the title, it was like Ouiga boards are not as bad as we are told, or think. And as I said that was my first thought, impression and reaction, it just came to my mind in a split second.

I think that if I had not checked on the … [More]
