Wizards , dragons are associated with Wales a lot. Pixies are associated with Ireland and Chariots are quite often associated with Egypt and the Sun god who rose in the East drove his chariot all day through the sky and set in the west.
never said you did…whats the problem with Hasbro then?
They were the ones that invented ouija boards.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouija Interesting what Wikipedia has to say : following its commercial release by businessman Elijah Bond in 1890, the Ouija board was regarded as a parlor game unrelated to the occult until American Spiritualist Pearl Curran popularized its use as a divining tool during World War 1. Spiritualist believed that the dead were able to contact the living and and reportedly used a board very similar to a modern board at their camps in Ohio 1n 1886 to ostensibly enable faster communication with spirits.
I did some quick investigation, it was invented by Bond. One of his employees by the name of William Fuld splintered off to create his own company that manifactured ouija boards. The Fuld company was bought by Hasbro in 1991.
But what I said is still correct, that they were never seriously intended to be used for communication with spirits.

Apparently, the Ouija board had been proven to work at the patent office before its patent was allowed to proceed. Even today, Psychologists believe it offers a link to the known and the unknown.

It seems that American Spiritualists were most responsible for the spread of the Ouija board as they used it in their seances on a Saturday night in particular.

Dont mess with the occult.
Get the ouija board App! no need to use a chunk of wood haha
The only Ouija Board that actually listens to your voice! Ask any question and simply wait for a spirit or ghost to respond. Text input is also available.
INSTRUCTIONS
1) If possible, darken the room you are in and light some candles before starting a séance.
2) Place your finger on the planchette (the wooden piece) in order to initiate the spiritual connection to the other side.
3) Ask the spirit your question loud and clear. Always start a séance with the question “Is anyone there?”.
4) Wait for the spirit to respond. The planchette will start moving to show you the spirit’s answer. Warning: keep your fingers on the planchette at all times!
5) Always be polite and ask normal questions. Be careful to not upset any spirit. Examples of questions you can ask: What’s your name? How old are you? Are you a good spirit? How did you die? Are you male? Do you mean us any harm? Where are you?
6) In case you have angered a spirit, quickly move the planchette to “Goodbye” before the countdown is over – or unexplained things might happen. Sometimes a spirit refuses a “Goodbye”. In that case, be persistent and try again.

How do you know if you have angered a spirit then?
