ADJUSTING YOUR COMPUTER'S SETTINGS:
Witchboard.com has been optimized for screen resolutions of 800X600 and minimum "High Color/16 bit "(Windows), "Thousands" (Mac), color settings. It is strongly recommended that you adjust your settings accordingly.

MONITOR RESOLUTIONS:
(PC)
Adjustments may be made via the Display Properties dialog box (Start>Settings>Control Panel>Display>Settings>800x600).
(MAC)
Mac users, configure your system via the apple menu (Apple>Control Panels>Monitors & Sound>800x600)

MOUSE SETTINGS:
(PC)
(Start>Settings>Control Panel>Mouse>Motion>Slowest Setting) to ensure maximum selection accuracy.
(MAC)
Configure your mouse via the apple menu (Apple>Control Panels>Mouse>Slow or Very Slow, your preference) for ideal mouse parameters.

ADJUSTING ATMOSPHERIC SETTINGS:
Proper atmosphere is extremely important for other worldly communication. For best results, turn the lights down low and eliminate all distractions such as TV or loud music. Soft music may be played to add ambience, but not to the point of distraction. Lighting candles and the burning of incense or fragrant oils may also be conducive to a successful session.

Don't be alarmed if the board does not seem to 'work' immediately. It is important to be comfortable within the session. Try to relax and clear your thoughts as much as possible before asking your first question. By doing so, you will disengage yourself from all subconscious attempts at moving the planchette yourself. If you have problems, take a break and try again later. Becoming comfortable with the board, and it with you, does take time.

Remember, spirits are notorious tricksters and liars so be careful. Further, they'll often respond with words or phrases which may seem to be absurd jibberish at the time, but upon reflection, may be quite meaningful.

Good Luck!!!
