Amazingly enough I haven't really ranted on my blog about religious things. Being as I know there are people from various backgrounds and religions that read here, I don't want to ofend anyone...even if it is my blog. I know I haven't done a Tools of the Trade post lately and honestly I was running out of tools...lol Once I get the blog moved I will start them again but probably on a once a month basis.
Anyway, witches have a TON of tools that are available to them. But that's the thing. They are TOOLS not TOYS!! Now any other time or any other item I would probably be bouncing up and down that this was done. But not this one. As some of you know I am a HUGE fan of anything done by Joss Wheadon. If it was done by Joss most likely we have it in this house. Particuarly if it is related to Buffy or Angel. (Takes a moment to bow to the master Joss) This I'm not so happy about. They have created a Buffy the Vampire Slayer “Conversations with Dead People” Board It's a Ouija board. Ok yeah I admit they were clever with the whole "conversations with dead people" part but to sell this as a toy?? It always boggled my mind that they sold these blasted things in the toy section of a store.
Ok now I know I just felt some of you roll your eyes but keep in mind this is my religion and my beliefs. But I have been that kids that messed around with one of those and did not like the results AT ALL! This is no toy. It REALLY DOES WORK! And if you contact the wrong people you and a lot of people you love and care about could be in for a world of hurt. I know some of you believe in ghosts despite your other beliefs this is along the same lines. You really don't want to mess with these things if you don't know what you are doing. Heck I have a slight clue what I'm doing and I still don't even want to think about messing with it.
Bottom line you have to be responsible with the tools you are using and what these people are doing is totally irrisponsible in my opinion.

*cheers* Here, here! I totally agree!
These are dangerous! People that "play" with them can unwittingly open doors that they haven't the faintest idea how to close.
This was a BAD idea...but then again, Ouija boards in toy sections are too.
I agree 100%! I was that kid who played with one at age 8. I did contact a spirit & it's been with me ever since. Thankfully, he wasn't a malevolent spirit & has actually spent years protecting me, but what if he had been evil? I have never touched one since & have never allowed one in my home, either!
I'm surprised that they would sell it as a toy. This is something so serious and dangerous if not properly used. This is very iresponsible. I know people who had problems when using an Ouija board...
I agree with you, I also have a "slight idea" about the many and deeper layers my religion has, and I'd rather to be far from touching with it. Have you contact them about it with your opinion? I'd do that. Actually I gess I'll do it.
Bright blessings from Nydia.
I was very surprised as well. I was also one of those people that thought "Oh yeah this is really cool" Um...yeah it's not so cool when the pointer shatters and you have pissed off some spirit on the other side.
I won't allow them in my house either. Hell I won't even touch a pendulum board because to me it's way too similar.
Nydia I think you are right...I think I will write them a letter as well. They need to know that something like this is NOT a toy
I have heard someone else mention how NOT a game it is as well.
Eek now I'm creeped out - of course my friends and I played with them in middle school as a slumber party game - what if that has had negative consequences since and I just didn't know?
If there were negative consequences I think you would know Princess. I think you are safe :)
Even thinking about it now it still boggles my mind that they would do this.
