Ouija (wē'jə, -jē, sometimes ˈwiˌdʒi [wee-gee or wee-juh]) is the belief that one can receive messages during a séance through the Ouija board (also called spirit board) and planchette. The fingers of the participants are placed on the planchette which then moves about a board covered with numbers, letters and symbols so as to spell out messages. Ouija is a trademark for a talking board currently sold by Parker Brothers. While the word is not a genericized trademark, it has become a trademark which is often used generically to refer to any talking board.by Papa Games Co. Ltd
