Description

For decades the Parker Brothers' popular board game has been condemened as a devil's gateway to perilous obsessions and spiritual possessions. While these claims recall a special brand of witch-trial era hysteria, author Cornelius defends these accusations as entirely true. Aleister Crowley, the greatest ceremonial magician of the 20th century, advocated the Ouija board's use as an occult tool. This fascinating work combines a history of the Ouija Board, Crowley's writings on this device and practical advice on its proper use.
