my only issue with with using spirit boards or Ouija is the entire Ideo motor response(IMR) essentially it uses a persons suggestibility in order to facilitate the response. Obviously with a person whose mind is open and blank the concept can become moot, however most practitioners of the board are expecting something, desiring something ergo the mind will grant the request and the cursor will appear to move on its own when in reality it is a type of group hypnosis.
I personally have used Ouija with groups, both as a participant and observer and found it much less useful than Astral projection, farseeing and scrying. the mind is a malleable instrument, to the point where a lot of names were in fact anagram, of course like any art it varies from person to person just in my experience it is more of a waking hypnosis than a real art.
