My revulsion for all things Edmontonian is complete!

The haterade flows with such supernatural force through CC I wonder if he has not gotten possessed from playing too much D&D.

Question for the Ouija Board players:  how long did you sit there like a doofus with your fingers on the thingie before you gave up or went ahead and moved it?

I was never good at saving throws.

I tried internet tarot once when I was bored at work.

Generally though I tend to channel my irrational impulses into Languish posts.

Never messed with any "occultism," myself.  Closest I get is having a giggle with a dining partner over how apt or wildly inaccurate the Chinese zodiac signs on the placemat are.

Yes.  It shows.

Never.  It always seemed to move on its own.  I forget what that phenomenon is called but I can tell you I never once chose to move the planchette.

Have you ever experimented with "occultism"? Occultism understood very broadly here, by the way, including tarot, other forms of divination, astrology, goethia, "chaos magick", sigils, runes, perception-enhancing or altering drugs etc.

No.

No need for fraud, you just need the ideomotor effect

That's pretty cool. I've never heard of that before, but it does explain the whole Ouija Board thing. I may have to apologize to my childhood friend who I blamed for moving the disk.
