Comments for Playing The Card Game: Page 1

Ladydarke,
Yes I've tried the pendulum, but it's hard to use, though I don't believe that a pendulum is used to speak to spirits, I beileived it's used for talking to your subconscious, that's just my belief.
And I have looked at the other sites and read a couple things but I'm just not that interested in that site! I don't believe that I'm pyshic.
Well technically were all psychic, but not the way most people think we are. Thank you for your advice.

Valkricy,
Guess what! I didn't make the planchette yet, I forgot! 😁
I guess I just won't make it.

Ladydarke has said something that lies at the heart of this...'I haven't PLAYED this game...

Thats just it the study of the paranormal and communicating with spirits is not a game and should never be treated as such.

I 100% agree with her other points...read, attend a course at a local metaphysical store and of course ask questions here on site. The more you learn the better you can apply those leasons and one day you may be the individual who figures out just what it all means. Remember, it is not a game.

Respectfully,

Rook

Hey Sam,

I haven't played this card game, but I get what you're saying and the importance of feeling for the heat of a card -- basically looking for an energy signature, with the idea being that an entity can discern which unturned card holds the answer it desires to give and so pools energy on that card in order to direct you to it.

Sounds like a sort of divination tool, with the major weakness being that the entity is limited to the choice of cards on top. So if it wants to say it's male, but there is no 'yes' card on top, the best it could do would be to burn a 'maybe' perhaps with the knowledge that a 'yes' lay under the 'maybe' in case you asked again. If there was indeed an entity present, that'd be a frustrating way to communicate: limited to answers that didn't apply and utterly dependent on the person doing the divination correctly sensing the energy. Imagine the face palming the entity would do if you turned the wrong one. "No, not 'maybe'! The other card, the other card, the other...argh!" >^.^<

Honestly, there are reasons this method isn't widely used in occult circles. You'd do better with something like a pendulum, especially since using one made of say a white quartz crystal would impart natural protection through the agency of the stone.

However, having said that, I agree with other posters that dabbling in the occult is somewhat like dabbling in a chemistry lab when you have no training and no idea which elements are going to explode. I also think that sitting around waiting for an entity to contact you or do something around you is a poor way to get that training; somewhat like trying to learn a foreign language by wandering around randomly looking at unintelligible signs and hoping someone will tell you what one says, and that you can somehow apply that to other words.

If I were to offer advice, I'd say set aside the spirit world for the time being and focus on energy. If you can feel the heat signature from the cards -- and it's really there, and you're being honest with yourself that you do indeed feel a definite heat -- than you've got a place to start. You like to read; go get some books on psychometry, which is object-reading. Get a book on learning to see auras. Get a book on dowsing, and another on reiki. Take some classes if they are available in your area. Practice with living people, not dead ones, and only with people who know what you are doing and have given permission. Pay particular attention to information given in the books about grounding yourself and protecting yourself, and practice that as much as anything else.

When you become more energy-sensitive, you begin to be able to discern other things as well. In essence, you will become able to read the signs posted in that foreign language. Eventually, when a spirit is present, you'll be able to sense that it is there and perhaps psychically pick up communication from it, as well as being able to discern its intent and knowing how to defend yourself, others, or how to provide the entity with assistance. But, like learning a language or chemistry, like music or martial arts, it will take time and diligence to reach mastery. You say on your profile you like to drum; you wouldn't expect to walk into a philharmonic orchestra and just start playing, right? You got to start at the beginning, educate yourself, and practice, practice, practice. It's true of everything, including the energetic world.

Here's a site that might interest you: http://www.psiarcade.com/

You might also think about bobbing over to the sister site to YGS, listed in the top header under Psychics & Mediums: http://www.psychic-experiences.com/ Check out the crazies who think they can shoot lightning bolts and control the weather, and their eyes change color 'cause they started to meditate; yeah, don't be them, 'kay? ^.~ Like a martial artist, you're learning a skill for personal growth and enlightenment, not bragging rights and showdown-in-the-hallway-time, yeah? You know what I mean.

Sam,I totally get not wanting to get rid of something that took you a long time to make - even if you don't plan to ever use it. Because of your curious nature, and the vibe I get from your posts that you're a 'do it now, think of the consequences later' kind of guy, what I would seriously suggest is packing it away, where you can't easily get to it. Put the board one place and whatever you were going to use for the planchette, somewhere else. DO NOT put them away together. Preferably not even in the same room. That way, you still have it, but you have bought yourself some time to think before giving into some passing urge to use it.

Miracles51031,
I understand what your saying. I do not ever try to push buttons especially when I don't know the person because that's rude. I am trying to take advice I'm just trying to figure out what I think would work the most for me. And about calling my stories bs, I will tell all of my stories are defiantly not bs, except for my first story which I can't be to sure on because it wasn't mine, and honestly that first story I think is a bit stupid, and I don't think my dad told me everything, so if I could I would delete it but unfortunately I can't. 😢

Yes that is why I never did try that spell or anything there because I'm not sure a few names like: Xathanael, Lahabiel, and Elohim. From reading what you just posted I guess I'm not going to do this.

If the advice your talking about that you have issues with is the one from the link, I do understand why you have issues with it.

Well my hobby is actually reading, drawing, and listening to music. And this sit does take much of my time, but it is partly for reading stories and I can't help myself. I didn't really think I was going to stay active on this site after my first to stories, the second story is the experience I really came her for cause I didn't know what happend. But I stayed on this site after I starting seeing the shadow figures. And about the weather and oh it can cast different shadows, I now understand that thanks to you, but 95% of the time I see the shadow figure at night (9:00p.m.- 1:00a.m.).

And lastly, about that last thing you said. Yeah -, I didn't realize it was what it was, I was googling and the link came up so I went there, I don't going around on witchcraft site, I'm serious, I'm NOT into that witchcraft, black magic, voodoo stuff. I don't like the look of it. But yeah I will take your advice and stay away from that.

Oh yeah and from this saturday until after New Years, I'm not going to be on her I'm going to take a break over the holidays, and enjoy them without thinking about this kind of stuff (And hopefully nothing happens to stop that), I'm going to enjoy my Christmas, and I hope you have a god time over the holidays too.

Thanks! Miracles!

Sam, Sam, Sam - I swear, just when I think you might be listening and taking advice, you do something to make me wonder if you're either pushing our buttons to see how much more we can take before people start throwing the bs blanket on your stories. Or if you honestly are naive enough not to know when to quit 😕

One thing I have always heard, which contradicts this guy's spell, is always know how to pronounce the names. Not just do your best. If you mispronounce a name, who the heck knows what you may be summoning? And then, like val asked, are you prepared to handle it? I don't think so. You need to consider that if you summon something not-so-nice, it doesn't affect just you. It's everyone in your home that can be at risk.

Sorry, but I have issues with that advice. And this is essentially the same as a Ouija board or your card game.

Sam, you seriously need to find another hobby. One that isn't paranormally-related. If there is something in your home, follow Rook's advice about keeping a journal. Everything, from time to what day, or the weather, can aid you in tracking the events and helps determine whether or not it is normal, or paranormal. Weather can cast shadows at different times.

BTW, that link to witchcraft? You should stay away from that. It's not something to play around with just because you're curious. 😐

does anyone know if this angle summoning chant could help get rid of things, It's the first one on the following URL, (not the second thing on that page, the first one, because I'm not interested in doing the second thing)

Rookdygin,
It have a couple questions for you.
First about the cleansing method you shared with me.
-there are a few doors that I can't just leave open so what do I do? And I have three cats, is this going to affect anything? Also, do you mean to actually sweep the floor because the only sweep able doors in my house are the kitchen and bathroom, could I use a vacuum cleaner? And what about the basement, is that included?
Also I have a bible (old and New Testament) and a couple of crucifixes, do you think I could use these too, would they help?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm not trying to waste your time, nor do I want to but I have one more question about something eels you mentioned in the post.
Why is it important to know the weather when recording when things happen?

Hey thanks for the advice valkricy. I have not used the ouija board yet, and I don't think I plan to. But something just tells me not get rid of it because it took time to make. But thanks for everything.

Notjustme,
I tried explaining this but it really isn't random, you can't just pick up any card. You have to slowly move your hand over the cards until you feel warm heat over one.

Oh, Sam...
It isn't too late to stop simply because you made a Ouija Board. You haven't used it have you? I'll tell you this straight up, and I'm fairly sure folks like Rook will back me on it; even if you successfully made contact with someone/something using ANY method, there is no way for you to be 100% sure that it is the one you think it is. Even experienced, well-seasoned folks can be fooled by the spirit world. That is why we're urging you to simply walk away from it.
Is there not an adult figure you trust? That you can talk to? Maybe a counselor or teacher? If there's a church near you, you could seek out the priest, reverend, rabbi (What ever) and speak to them. Sometimes talking to a 'stranger' is easier. If you and your family have no religious affiliation (you weren't raised say Catholic or Baptist) then I don't think it really matters which one you go to for help. In general pastors and the like are very compassionate. Don't worry that they might think you're nuts (Yep, you were thinking that, weren't you?) they've heard far worse and crazier things. In my experience, what they will see is someone who is troubled, by something they do not understand. At worst, they'll say they can't help you. But odds are they will try and help you. Don't be scared of therapists, counselors and such. Sometimes the key in understanding why something is happening to us, is to understand ourselves. And all those people really do is help you find the right tools to help yourself with.

Joker for "joke" 😆...k sorry I apologize for my joke. But on a more serious note, I agree with some members on how you should learn to respect the paranormal and not use it a s toy or entertainment. I know you are curious about it but that's not a smart way to go about it.
Like Miracle said, it is exactly like the magic 8 ball, and is totally random and not reliable. I don't believe you had any spirit join you. You might have thought a spirit was entertaining you, but I have a feeling if there was indeed a spirit near you at that moment, he/she was sitting there while YOU entertained them with your cards.

Stay safe, take care.

Dip1904,
Think you dip, thanks for being respectful, and about that fire thing, um a came really close to lighting the woods on fire, and too close, I almost became a felon, it wasn't my property.

H2olily,
I do have a bible, maybe that will help. I can try that.

[at] sam222 - regarding playing with fire thing, that's borderline psycho stuff buddy... As a stereotypical indian, I would suggest practicing calming your mind and channelizing your energy into a streamline to have a healthy focus level - then events like this will be much under control and you would not end up, per se, lighting up the woods on fire... 😜 take care. God bless

hi sam, I guess you are slowly having an opinion to respect the opinions of the warnings people are trying to post here...lol:) ... Dear, I know you don't want to mess up yet you are curious... And very accurately rookdygin has pointed out, forcing them to communicate is not the answer... I am sure your intentions are noble but your methods are rudimentary.

For instance, You don't have to know a member of your religious belief to invite him / her. I am sure you would knowing people who knows such people - the world is a big community network now... So you would get to know people (but be careful of weirdos if you get to meet strangers) ... Just be careful... Don't worry no one is angry upon you - every body is careful around here as nobody wishes to be disrespectful to the world we have not fully developed an understanding. If you are void of any opinions as what to do - post that question and you would get plethora of ways to tackle the situation. Let's work here as a team, right? God bless. Take care.

Aww...try praying and leaving an open Bible or two around. Your purpose in playing this game seems like innocent curiosity, you want to know things, like does the spirit world exist? Please be careful.

Rookdygin,
Thank you for respecting the way I am, and I will take a look at your page. And give you an update after if I can.

It's funny that you say to record things because, just a few weeks ago I realized I should do that and started recording the weird things especially the shadows and putting what day and what time of day and what I was doing at the time. I should probably start adding those extra things you mentioned. Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.

Badjuju,
Thank you very much for pointing that out, I didn't realize that. And your reason for removing it is a good one. The site actually said that they didn't recommend anyone playing it. So things for commenting that, if you hadn't it probably would have taken me a while to realize.

Sam,

You seem pretty independent and doing things 'your own way' seems to be your thing. I understand and respect that... So a few things...

Have a look at my profile... There you will find a Shielding and Cleansing Method I have developed over the years... I use it, some of my friends use it and there are Members of YGS that have used it and posted their experiences because of it. It's there for anyone, have a look... Give it a try... Then give us an update.

Oujia Boards... Yes simple ones can be made, really quickly with some paper and a glass used as a pointer... These are not 'protected well' and just about anything may try to communicate via this homemade method... Store bought ones are not much better... They do not explain how to prevent/protect against 'unwanted' types of spirits/entities trying to communicate...

There are ways to create a board of your own... They involve certian types of wood and rituals that are used during the creation of the board and pointer that incorperate protection and barriers so that only the type of spirit you wish to communicate with can do so. These take months or even years to create...

Please do your research... Study what is out there. Start a Journal and record EVERYTHING about this Shadow you keep seeing... Weather conditions... Time of day...when, where... How long... Every detail you can think of... Then when you have a few experiences recorded compare them...what's the same... What is different. By doing this you can weed out false encounters and better focus on anything that may be truely paranormal.

The Mods are not trying to bash you, they are just concerned for ALL the MEMBERS and their well being. As badly as you want to know about this shadow... Forcing it to communicate is not the answer... No good will come of something like that.

Respectfully,

Rook

Just to avoid any confusion, I removed that link before publishing. It seemed contradictory that Sam didn't want to tell anyone how this little game is played, yet provided a link that did just that. Contradictions bother me. Contradictions like claiming to be frightened and want help, yet ignoring all reasonable advice.
Anyway, I'm walking away from this one.

elanoremily,
No that is not how it is done, it's not random, you can read the rules at the link in the story, but you actually hold your hand over the cards and move it around slowly until you feel the heat of a card and you flip it and put the top card of the deck in its place without looking at it. So I'm not really sure if the answer is random, because the answer is the card with heat none of the others.

And yes I know there is no proof of a spirit, but it is possible. I also didn't say specifically it was evil but, if it was the thing I was seeing I have right to confront it, I don't like what is is doing and I'm sure nobody eels would like it either. I'm not sure what you mean by evil, I consider bad and evil too different things. Ex: someone/ something good can do a bad thing but it doesn't make them evil or bad, something or someone bad can do something good but that doesn't automatically make them good. So I'm not quite sure what your definition of evil is. Can you help me out?

So, essentially, you lay cards out (with four answers possible) and flip them randomly yourself?

I agree with Miracles early assessment that this is just like an 8 ball. I don't see this as contact with a spirit, but rather a randomized conversation with yourself. Especially since you are the one turning the cards. This is very obvious by answering the gender card with a maybe, or answering the shadow question with multiple different answers. It's not a genuine answer, just random chance cards.

It's definitely not proof that any spirit present is a bad spirit, but treating it like one could just annoy anything that may be there. Would you like to be treated as though you are evil, even if you are not? Decided that it's evil is also psychologically dangerous to yourself.

Ifihadyoux,
Yeah I guess I should, but I don't think my dad's knows what's going on, unless he's seen something and hasn't said anything, and I'm not sure if he would have any explanations, because I don't think he's ever experienced anything like this or even paranormal (unless you count my first story, which was kind of stupid story).

I would still try to talk to your dad and maybe he can give you explanations for things going on in the home.

Ifihadyoux,
Well, my sister is younger than I am, she's only 12. I do have another sister not in the home and she's four.

Well in that case I would still go tot he closest church you can and ask to speak to someone in regards to it. Blessing a home isn't harmful and hopefully your dad can understand that. What about your sister? Is she older or younger than you?

Ifihadyoux,
Hey thanks. I don't really have any religious beliefs. And no I haven't spoken to my parents, unfortunately I don't live with my mom, I not even sure where exactly she is (she's a drug addict) so I only live with my dad and one of my sisters. And I haven't spoke to my dad I don't think he will believe me, he will think something else. And me and my dad aren't really on good terms right now, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do 😢...

as for getting rid of it on your own, especially if you don't live on your own, it is kind of impossible. You can try to cleanse your home with sage or any other methods, easily available by searching google, however your intent has to be there. It is more powerful with a full heart of intent or the ownership of the home, or both.
If you're not comfortable doing it on your own or don't think it will work on your own, then ask a priest, rabbi, etc. Depending upon your religious beliefs. Have you talked to your parents about this? It can't hurt to at least get their opinion.

Everything I was going to say has been said in the comments section so I am just going to simply say I agree.

Maritzalin,
I don't know any priests or people like that, I'm not really religious (though I do read the bible) and are you sure there is no way to get rid of these things in the hall on my own?

Miracles51031,
Excuse me, umm I am interested in peoples opinions and advice, and read everyone's comments on my stories more than once, you don't have to be so mean about it, and you guys are the editors, so why did you let it get posted if you guys think what you do?
And yes I do know what peoples opinions are on ouija boards and only know a bit about them, basic things, but I don't know what to decide, wether they are real or just a joke, I can't imagine the thing moving on its own to communicate, but things have move on their own before my eyes once or twice and before others eyes from what I've read on this site.
And yeah, it was probably a stupid idea to make an ouija board, but I don't even know if you can just make one and it will, I'm not sure if it has to be a totally real one actually bought. I just don't know what I'm doing, I have a problem with making responsible decisions and I always do things I know I'm not supposed to do (and can't stop myself) I trying to get better at things. I not even sure if I'm going to use the ouija board and I'm pretty sure you need at least two people, and there's no one around Where I live that would use one, and I'm not going to get my sister into it because I love her she's my family and I do have to think of the outcomes, which I'm learning from this site. And actually if I remember right you miracles, are the one who reminded me of that on a comment, and really made me a bit more conscious, though it can't totally help the problem I have to help my self out on my own.
And I assure you, I promise I will NOT post a story about an ouija board, I swear on my family's name, whom I love no matter what, I will not post an ouija board story. I don't think it would be a good Idea. And please don't tell me I don't care people's advice, opinions, suggestions, ideas, etc, again, because I do appreciate them, why do you think I respond? Too get attention? No. I do it because they are willing to respond to my story, so I am willing to respond to them. I just responded to you, and, It took much of my time to type this long response out. And I didn't have to do it. I do it because I care.
Though I just want to make it clear that you will not see an experience with an ouija board posted by under my name on this site. I will keep my promise. If I don't you can kick me off, because I would deserve it if I did break the promise.

Rather get someone to help you like a priest or somebody that knows how to deal with these kind of things. You can't handle this on your own. Take the advise from the people you are going to get yourself into something and then it might be to late to get professional help.

Sam - enough, okay? You obviously aren't interested in any advice you have been given. You've been a member on our site for almost a year, so I know you know everyone's opinion on Ouija boards, yet you go ahead and make one?

Just my opinion, but all you are doing is setting our members up for another story. Listen up, okay? It's not going to happen. If I get your story, I'll have a very hard time taking it as a true experience and I'll return it. So do all of us a favor, don't submit one about the Ouija board 😐

Everyone (who has posted and has/ does read this),
The question: why am I trying to communicate?
The answer: I want to try to get the shadow figure and things I've seen in my hallway out of my house, I don't like them, they keep me awake sometimes and frightened me, I still haven't told my dad about it, not sure if I should. He would think I have more problems.

dip1904,
I understand what your saying. But that last thing you said "don't play with fire." Well unfortunately, I have an obsession with fire, I used to play with it everyday, I don't do it like that any more but I can't stop my self. I almost lit the woods on fire. Not related to anything but I shared it.

Valkricy,
Your probably right about the joker thing, I didn't even realize it was in there. And yeah I guess I should stop doing this. I'm not sure if it's to late; I already made an authentic ouija board. Now I'm not sure.

Miracles51031,
I asure you I'm not making things up, I actually did this, and everything that happened in this story actually happened, but I don't know if it was real or not. I don't even know if ouija board is real or not. And also if what you mean by "the attention I'm getting" is the negative stuff I'm getting and whatnot, I don't not like it. As I've said many times I appreciate any opinions p because they all matter, even yours. And I still have more stories yet to be posted that I believe are real. Though my next one is not my story, it's what my grandmother told me.

Badjuju,
I'm not sure what you mean, can tell what exactly I am doing.

sam dear, this is by far I have seen an aggressive approach by a person who is clearly not ready to face the possible disastrous consequences a malevolent spirit can bring. Nobody here wants that you face something of a bad omen - hence listen to the people sharing their ideas especially some of the mods who have considerable experience in this field and hence are running the site.
If this is an attention grabber of a post and you haven't done anything actually, it's fine as long as you do not hurt yourself in the process and I mean the physical and the mental one... Physical hurts even heal and in some morbid scenarios ends up taking off life... Either way that is a quick solution to get rid of pain... But mental traumas would linger through ages and that is very much of an agony for a normal person such as yourself... Don't play with fire sam, especially when you don't have any strong protection against it.

Hmmm...going by the description of the card game it sounds like one called "Ghost". Eons ago, when I was a kid, it was one of the things played at sleepovers. It was about as accurate as those paper fortune tellers (cootie catchers) we made. In other words; not very.
Now, here's the problem, as I see it, Sam. Apparently, you are trying to assign meaning to a card, that you should have removed at the beginning. Jokers are seldom used, even when a deck is used for 'tarot' type readings. You, yourself said it, only suits were assigned meanings. So, according to the 'rules' as it were, what a joker would signify is you did not remove it. Being that the card was used, resulting in 53 cards in the shuffle meant for 52, that would throw everything off in your layout. Logically, this would mean that the 'answers' you 'received', are faulty at best.
Not to be mean, or condescending but the fact that you could not ferret this out on your own tells me you are ill-prepared for any attempt at establishing contact with the spirit world. As the others have pointed out: you are putting yourself into danger. You really need to STOP, and do some heavy thinking about the why you want to speak to them (like Rook said), and then do lots of research and study on how to do it all safely, IF you decide to proceed. Take this to heart; read everything negative you can about contacting spirits and ask yourself, is it worth the risk? Do you really believe that an evil entity is going to say, "Why, yes, yes I am bad"? If so, then you are really not ready for contact. And the biggest thing of all, do you know, really KNOW what to do if something bad comes after you? I think not.

Its just called the 'card game' and its used to comunicate with spirits... I have kicked around a long while... I have comunicated with the spirit world... In many different forms and this is a new one to me.

I conducted a search and I found 1 link to a single site that describes the 'ritual' the way the OP described it. For me it reads like a Holloween 'card game' designed to scare anyone who plays.

I have to second what the Mods have said... This seems, at least to me, a grab for attention.

For the OP...If you are really using methods like this in attempts to communicate with spirits you need to STOP, do some real in depth thinking about why you want to speak with them. Its not a game and there ARE real consiquences to an individuals actions.

Respectfully,

Rook

Sam - you do realize that this is like a Magic 8 ball. You get answers that are completely random and by themselves mean absolutely nothing. But like the 8 ball, you can convince yourself the cards are answering your questions. I haven't decided if you are deliberately trying to seek out something paranormal or if you are just naive. I do think you like the attention you get on this site and that attention is causing you to be either reckless or you are making things up for more attention. Either way, it's not good.

I realize that this is going to fall on deaf ears, but stop treating the paranormal like a shiny new toy. You will get burned, badly, if you carry on like this. Drop this, walk away, don't get so tangled in this mess you can't find your way out. You're walking a dangerous line.
