Disposing of a Ouija board...
Ash
her Ouija board...she thinks it will curse her to throw it away, and
she's obsessing about it. She wants it out of her house, but she's
afraid to get rid of it. She's been told to do different things by
different people... burn it... not burn it... bury it, give it away,
etc...
I was very respectful to her about her belief that it will curse her
to give it away, but simply stated my belief that it's nothing more
than a messaging tool (if that)... I believe nothing bad will happen
to her by giving it away. In the end, it's made of wood and plastic.
I told her that if she's that worried, just to say a little prayer
like "I release you from your previous use and are no longer a tool
for communication. With harm to none so be it!".
Then give it away, or toss it.
But she things I'm being "crazy and irrational". Maybe she's not such
a good friend after all. Just had to vent...

It is a subjective reaction on her part, so why fight it. Go with the
emotional symbolism. She wants to feel like she has safely disposed
of it Let her do that. Cleanse it with salt and water. stick it in
a cauldron with cedar wood and sage. Burn it and spread the ashes.
All on a moonless night.
Then forget about it. That's the step that counts, isn't it?

I had a similar problem with a Bible that had been unasked for gifted
to me. In fact, it was very much against my wishes. We already have
a bible and several other standard texts and I didn't need one with my
name embossed in it to "guide you on your path back to God". I
cleansed of connection to me and then gave it to a Chrisitan friend
who would appreciate its quality of binding, etc. There is always an
answer.

Ouija spirit is nasty and the one "tool" I have had too many personal
experiences to say that about. Wow, how shallow of you. She disagrees
with you and so she is maybe not such a good friend after all. You
must be ren. I say she gift you with her Ouija Board. Then at least
the Ouija spirit will be doing a public service for all of us.
Hope
Maybe it wasn't the disagreement, but being accused of being "crazy
and irresponsible" for disagreeing with *her* that was the problem. I
have good friends I would expect to tell me if I were really acting in
those ways, and I would trust their judgment. People who would accuse
me of that for simply disagreeing with them or to get their way would
not be counted among them.

tell her to cut the board up and shove the pieces into her ass one at
a time. That way the spirits will want to depart.

Bad advice. You are encouraging superstitious nonsense. The
board is just a prop. There's nothing going on with it that
can't be done without it. The two people could take turns
speaking the letters aloud.

You really are a superstitious heathen.
What you do with a Bible you don't want is throw it in the trash
or the fireplace. It's just a stupid book.

A ouija board can be made in your home on a piece of something smooth
and stiff that you can paint/draw on.
That's all it is. If you want to get rid of one throw it in the
trash.
It's just a prop. What goes on when you use one is entirely of
your own psyche and that of the other person. One of you could
just as well speak the message from the non-physical entity
aloud and forget about the board entirely.

Right... Not believing in something stupid is crazy and irrational.

How was that possible? On this NG, you've mainly 'vented' and then avoided
engaging in either discussion or arguement. Your candle cleansing post
being a case in point. Do you view newsgroups as some sort of
non-interactive 'blog'? In offline situations, you are less able to dodge
the ramifications of your own statements and are likely trolling online.

On the contrary, a worse friend would not tell you when she perceived that
you were being crazy and irrational. She must really like you.

No need to get on the merry-go-round at all. I certainly don't know
him well enough to judge what really happened, and I've never heard
from her. It does sound to me like the suggestions he gave her *were*
taking her fear into consideration, but that's merely my opinion.
Everyone has one of those.
I have no reason to *want* to judge him harshly. And if he feels the
need to try to explain/defend himself, he can decide for himself how
much energy he wants to expend trying.

To her or this pretend her, it was. Ash simply could respect that and
not take it personally because he does not think it will curse her.
Obviously, in this scenerio both over reacted, yet Ash could say, I
respect your feelings but you saying this hurt mine..
Honesty..confrontation..dealt with..life goes on. Instead he is
willing to throw a friendship to the wind and make it public on arw
because he cannot express to her his feelings?

Why don't both of you go to the Ouija Board and ask it what she should
do?

Ren thinks you can ask a piece of wood a question and get an answer.

Doesn't surprise me a bit.

Ritual comes naturally to creatures with brains. Curses tend to come
with specific targets, rather than just poisoning anyone, like a bad
mushroom.
I lean heavily towards giving it away, but also with a tiny bit of
ritual attached. Old time anthropologists report that some traditional
magic required payment as part of the spell.
Find someone who wants it. Arrange that they have access to m&ms.
Tell them that you are selling it for one green m&m. When they
consent, speak the words: "it's yours now". Eat the green m&m. Believe
that any hint of curse (likely non-existant) no longer has a
connection to the previous owner, and almost equally important, the
new owner has no reason to be cursed by it. It is a totally different
relationship.

In this particular instance, it's more of a sock-hop where participants
choose to dance or, silently sip judgmental drinks along the sidelines -
furtively awaiting a "Sadie Hawkins" moment.

It was phrased ambiguously because I know you enjoy that.
