Planchette

Planchette

...It is said that if a person born in the year of the dog participates in it, they will not be possessed. In the West, it is called an ouija board (oui is French and ja is German, both meaning "Jesus") or a planchette, and it was widely used as an experimental tool in spiritualism, which developed after the 19th century. There are other similar divination methods around the world, such as the Chinese "dragon god divination," and it is now considered a type of automatic writing or table turning (a spiritual conversation is held by knocking on a table) in psychology, and it is also analyzed from the viewpoint of unconscious behavior.
