Question
QUESTION: My friends in a bit of a depressed mood!at a party we played Ouija! Well a sperit told my friend his  reincarnation and her will marrie! And that he will kill her! I wan to know is their a binding spell for sprits? of somthing i could do?

ANSWER: I'm not sure what exactly you want to do. It doesn't seem to me as if anything happened to do anything about. You want to do something to prevent a murder that's going to take place in another life? You want to bind a spirit that hasn't done anything wrong besides show up at a party you invited it to and provide you with entertainment you requested? That's just plain rude. How would you feel if you were that spirit?
Of course there is a binding spell for spirits. But exactly what good is enslaving this spirit going to do?

QUESTION: I'm sorry! what happened was, We were talking to her grandma!When he took over. His name is R.J. after he said what he said we all let go of the Ouija board! we try to cleanse the room and talked to her grandma again! But he still took over. SO my question is. Is their a safer way to do Ouija? If so how?

Answer
No. Not really. Actually, that's not true. There is much you can do but neither of us has that kind of time. If you don't want to take the time to do serious spiritual research and training before you start messing with tools to access the spirit world then you're going to have to just accept that weird things are going to happen. You just have to not freak out and be firm. It's all about Will if you are firm with the spirits they will go away, but you can't be all silly or they'll just mess with you.

Expertise

I am able to answer most questions about Pagan religions and magic. I am particularly experienced in the areas of Hearth Magic and Kitchen Witchery, including magical cooking and gardening and Hellenismos including liturgy and mythology. I specialize in matters relating to Pagan children and family. I am also well-versed in Western European spirituality including Wicca and Druidry. I am unable to answer specific theological, historical or liturgical questions related to African Synchretic Spirituality (Santeria, Voodun, Umbanda, etc.) or Heathenry (Asatru, Odinism, etc.)

Experience

I have been a Pagan for nearly 20 years and a NeoHellenic Polytheist for 10. I am currently the organizer for an all-path Pagan children's group, the founder and one of several organizers of the local Pagan meetup group and I maintain a regional website and newsletter for local Pagans as well as a website and newsletter for Hearth Witches. I have over 5 years experience planning and executing public Pagan events, particularly public rituals and family events. I have two teenage children of my own whom I have raised in our NeoHellenic tradition.
