Mystifying Oracle

I found this original 1960's version Ouija (wee-gee or we-ja) Board that belonged to my grandmother as I was going through old boxes from her estate. I have fond, yet creepy, memories of playing with this as a youngster.

 

I still have the now crumbling original box that proclaims on the back:

 

"OUIJA talking board set gives you entertainment you have never experienced. It draws the two people using it into close companionship and weaves them a feeling of mysterious isoloation. Unquestionably the most fascinating entertainment for modern people and modern life."

 

That's right...modern 1960-something life.
