Ouija Board

I thought It was just a toy. A board game just like monopoly. But it wasn’t.

She brought the game and explained it for me. I told her that I was a pro and tried it many times using paper and finyal (arabic coffee cup) but never worked. I remember hiding in the dirty untidy Mul7aq (outside room used for storage) that was full of bugs with my friend. We read Quran and started ta7theer arwa7 (reaching spirits). All what we got was our street cat making strange moves and running out of the room. That scared us, but it was no proof since the finyal kept quiet. It was a disappointment to us, but a relief that I won’t loose 45 prayers.

We used candles too in her room trying to reach her dead friends soul in the dark, without the use of finyal. Nothing worked either although she claimed it happened when I wasn’t around. There was a fear of the unknown mixed with mere excitement of reaching the dead.

So there I was again in the clean diwaniyya this time, with another friend. We said our prayers. I was completely relaxed cause this time it was noon and the sun rays were coming through the window glass. We didn’t have to use candles. I knew for sure that ghosts won’t come near.

We called for the spirit and to my surprise, the triangular piece of plastic moved. I could’ve reassured myself that it was my friend moving it cause it was a very light plastic and easy to move around without me noticing. But seeing her slight finger touch on the piece and feeling my finger moving with a power I knew I didn’t have made me realize it was real. It worked. It finally worked. Was I happy? I was excited more than happy that I finally experienced what elders did when they didn’t let me do it with them in the late dark cold nights at chalet. Had they known I would try it with my friend? Had they known they kept me eager to experience what they experienced?

I asked for my dead relative that I never seen. They called her and I knew it was her because she described her looks and her description was similar to mine. Both my friend and I asked whom we were going to get married to, and the names mentioned were close family names.

I was satisfied that I did it. I quenched my curiosity. Promised myself not to do it again not only for knowing about loosing 45 prayers but also after knowing that the Jin would’ve haunted me.

Years of trying to reach Jin by finyal, was easily achieved with Ouija board. I wonder how it is carelessly sold like just another piece of toy; It is not.
