Aleister Crowley and the Ouija Board

Is the Ouija Board a children’s game, a curious throwback to the nineteenth-century Spiritualism movement, a special magical tool, or as fearful Christians put it, a dangerous doorway to the devil that can result in possession, suicide and murder?

Aleister Crowley and the Ouija Board traces the history of the “talking board” back to John Dee, Queen Elizabeth’s advisor, who used it to contact angels and codify the Enochian Alphabet. This book provides surprising information on hos the renowned twentieth-century magician Aleister Crowley employed the Ouija Board to great effect, even attempting to create his own version of the device for sale.

Like any powerful tool, the Ouija Board requires knowledgeable and proper use. Aleister Crowley and the Ouija Board suggests ways of protecting the magician while using this remarkable spiritual implement.
