I watched with horror my Dad ripping up a couple of my Witches Tales comics and chucking them in the bin as he told me they were dangerous tripe! Such a pity, they were quite good comics too!WOODSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00237005016866918414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-21496447115875280032023-03-22T21:30:13.454+00:002023-03-22T21:30:13.454+00:00As a kid, I wanted one as several of my friends ha...As a kid, I wanted one as several of my friends had them but Mom was against it. There are a lot of styles of Ouija/Talking Boards and some of them are gorgeous. In 2008 though, Parker Brothers released a pink one that is nicknamed ouija for girls. It was a short lived item and prices for it are often much higher than the older boards. I happened to pick one up when it was released just as a novelty in my collection of what were they thinking toys. Mine is still in the box.Not a pic of mine but here's this travesty https://i.pinimg.com/564x/46/ed/be/46edbef48d6042d0251869870f19ef85.jpg and yeah, that's a pink vinyl carrying case.Lancenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-69486707345244956152023-03-22T15:36:01.610+00:002023-03-22T15:36:01.610+00:00Its quite remarkable the kind of response the conc...Its quite remarkable the kind of response the concept of a 'ouija' board elicits - its up there with snake oil and magical cures, totally groundless and surrounded by hysteria and superstition, yet the public perception is always negative. Originally conceived by ancient chinese scholars as a means of divination, it reached popularity with american spiritualists in 1890, before being popularised by the aforementioned William Fuld as a means to contact the dead, causing outrage and moral panic.

Depending on your belief system, it does seem ill-advised to teach children how to potentially summon demons!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-6651374223768616322023-03-21T19:52:38.512+00:002023-03-21T19:52:38.512+00:00Nice blog!
